Working with Trent and the Reshape team was a fantastic experience. They were instrumental in developing and proving out the case for the Capital Regional District’s renewable natural gas facility.

Hiring them was one of the best professional decisions I’ve made and I can’t wait to continue working with them on future projects- I’m truly a raving fan.
