L E T T E R OF R E C O M M E N D AT I O N
Mark Pitt has been employed by Universal Sodexho as their manager on the Louis Berger Group Inc.
facilities and camps for the $300M Kandahar to Herat roadway construction program in Afghanistan.
He has been assigned in this position since 11th
June 2005 and since that date he has worked with me
being responsible for managing food catering services, maintenance, laundry and house keeping for
four construction camps and a guest house, on behalf of Universal Sodexho.
It has been a pleasure working with Mark who is not only very dedicated to his job, and very
professional in his dealings, but a pleasure to work with. I have been impressed with John's ability to
continue to provide excellent service under sometimes almost impossible conditions. He has
considerable past experience working with TCNs, which is apparent by the way his staff performs their
duties in a friendly and willing atmosphere.
Not only is Mark the absolute best camp manager I have ever run a cross in my 30 odd years of
overseas work, but he is unfailingly patient, friendly, honest, and always willingly to help anyone -
with a smile.
I wish Mark the very best in the future and give my highest endorsement to anyone who may in the
future be fortunate enough to be in the position to consider him for employment.
