And our clients in New Zealand speak volumes for our franchisees’ professionalism and effectiveness on their behalf:
“We have worked with ERA Group over many years and have engaged them to review a number of our expense categories. They have a proven methodology which works well in combination with the relevant expense category “expert” they assign to each project. They produce results hence our continued use of their service.”
General Manager Finance, New Zealand Automobile Association
“ERA provided the professionalism and rigour required in managing our initial freight RFP and the ongoing monitoring of our spend. We achieved significant financial and intangible benefits with the help of ERA.”
Chief Financial Officer, Lynn River Ltd
“ERA had previously reviewed our electricity several years ago and achieved good savings. With our current electricity contract approaching expiry, our supplier submitted new rates, so we engaged ERA again to ensure we were getting the best pricing. I have no hesitation in recommending ERA, elsewhere.”
