Cheddar Packaging Project Success Leads to Full Review
Established in 1833, Barber's are one of the world's oldest and finest producers of cheddar. Their cheeses attract an enviable reputation culminating in the many accolades that they have been awarded. Barber's cheeses can be found in many of the top supermarkets.
The company originally asked ERA to review areas of their packaging which were believed to be procured at competitive rates. The ongoing exercise has produced some startling results which have prompted Barber's to invite ERA to review all areas of Packaging and also their Bulk Fuels. In addition, ERA have been asked to investigate the potential in their Chemicals and Laboratory Supplies, the possibilities look very encouraging.

"I had batted Iain back for some years as I was of the firm opinion that ERA could not possibly improve upon the work that we had done in securing the best value in a vitally important and high-cost area of supply. But I did finally relent and allowed Iain and a specialist colleague, Richard Anson, to have initial talks with members of my team from which it was clear that Richard had a deep understanding of the category and industry, such that it was believed that Richard's insight may well provide benefits to the business, both of a financial and non-financial nature. I was shocked at the resultant savings, particularly as they came mostly from existing suppliers. I am delighted for ERA to be regarded as a trusted partner of the business to identify improvements across a wide range of key expenditure. My only regret is that I didn't ask Iain to work with us when he first made contact." [Chris Newcombe - Finance Director, Barber's Cheese, UK]
