‘’I have known General Panos Gartzonikas for nearly 20 years from when we were Colonels together in NATO. He is a terrific officer who I admire greatly. He is a highly skilled and effective leader and thinker with great experience in military leadership across a wide range of national and international organisations. He has worked extensively in multinational and civil-military fields, leading combat units and complex peacetime establishments in which he translated successfully his military skills into civilian life. He is highly knowledgable and effective in management, organisational reform and change. Throughout his career he has been an outstanding trainer and educator, always getting the very best out of his people by developing and mentoring their skills and capabilities. He has accumulated a lifetime of wisdom and hard-won expertise which will be incredibly valuable to others. I wish him every success in his new business and I recommend him most strongly to those who want to learn from the best in their field’’.

‘’The wide range of knowledge General Koutris possesses is particularly impressive compared to the narrower understanding normally found in military personnel. His open-mindedness and varied experience derived from business and positions held in international organisations, together with a comprehension of strategy, a fully-developed entrepreneurial perception, political acumen, deductive and rational thinking and speech are complemented by a studied decisiveness capable of producing positive achievements, initiatives based on knowledge and a particular productivity. These exceptional characteristics were not obtained by neglecting other parts of life (husband, father, friend, good company, colleague, citizen, etc.), but by devoting himself to them assiduously.’’.

Honorary Commander 1st Army and Former Chief, National Guard of Cyprus

‘’General Koutris always showed high level of professionalism, versatility and zeal, taking responsibility and positive initiatives and working methodically. He also took care, with his distinctive discipline, to be in coordination and admirable cooperation with all members of our Delegation, which I consider as a matter of high importance for a complex Office. In the demanding environment of an International Organisation he showed a high level of adaptability and specifically useful communication skills among his homologous comrades. The qualities that mark him are modesty, confidentiality, integrity and he is extremely likeable to his foreign colleagues, with whom he has developed perfect social relations.’’.

Ambassador Aristides Sandis

‘’I had an excellent experience touring the Marathon Battlefield with co-workers of FALCON SECURITY during an organised Corporate Staff Ride. I would like to repeat it in another battlefield. The ABS-GREECE staff created a friendly environment and urged us to participate in an open conversation and present our questions freely’’.

Mr. Sotiris Houndas
Executive Director, FALCON SECURITY, GR

‘’I participated in a tour with Battlefield Surveys covering Roman Battles in Northern Greece as well as the Amphipolis Battle during the Peloponnesian War. The communication was very friendly and clear. It was an excellent organised tour which covered exactly what I waited. The stands were chosen better than I could have done for myself. I felt I could ask any question and the team dealt with them extremely well. It was remarkable the team’s passion for the subject, the approachability and the dedication to exploring and preparing the site visits in advance. Dear ABS-GREECE Team I cannot stress how much we enjoyed the tour and how grateful I am that you accommodated my requests so well’’.
