Proven Expertise

Our consultants bring extensive industry knowledge and proven methodologies to address complex challenges within specific industry sectors.

“GMK Ltd has been working with ERA for over 15 years and in particular we have been retaining the services of Charles Reid to oversee our transport and distribution costs. The reason for this is that Charles has always managed to negotiate a preferential and competitive rate for us with the principal carrier that we use. He has demonstrated this on a number of occasions and has therefore saved GMK significant overheads. This has always been followed up with a detailed report presented on a quarterly basis which also outlines other potential savings.”

Oskar Waktare, Finance Director, GMK Ltd.

Beyond mere consultants
