The “Boomerang” is a concept created by Shashi Matharu many years ago.
She is the expert on the wordings and functionality of the Boomerangs and will offer telephone support, where needed.
This was to overcome the challenges faced by the Client collating, providing, completing and giving information required by Avar to carry out the agreed assignments.
Further, they were designed to “Control” costs by ensuring the information provided was so done, in its entirety and completed, to the agreed time tables, in a timely manner and in a structured way, before the commencement of work by Avar.
