"We were not confident that our procurement aims were being fully realised and so we invited ERA Group to assist us in some key areas. We have not been disappointed: not only have ERA achieved significant savings for us, but we also feel much more in control. Our expenditure has been reduced, and there is the comfort of knowing there is ongoing support, monitoring how we are using these contracts."
