This is where ERA intervened…

"We thought we were already buying well. But their approach really impressed us. They never pushed, just brought smart options and clear market insight. The improvements we achieved with our existing suppliers are things we simply wouldn’t have secured ourselves." [James Phillips - Managing Director, Cosatto]
