ERA bring sustainable benefit to Wycliffe College
Wycliffe College is one of the most prestigious independent schools in the country. Founded in 1882, it now educates nearly 700 boarding and day pupils, from ages 2-18, in the inspiring 52-acre setting around the original 17th Century building chosen by the founder G W Sibley.
Like all independent schools, Wycliffe College cannot rest on its laurels. The change of the Estate Bursar at the same time as the Director of Finance and Operations provided an opportunity to review all overhead costs. Wycliffe College had, in recent years, built a new Sports Hall, installed a new astropitch, and completed a new double boarding house. However, these significant capital improvements had taken resources and focus away from the day-to-day financial running of the school. The new Director of Finance and Resources, Tom Wood, previously with another ERA client, recognised that the expertise and resource that ERA provide would help bring quick and sustainable results.

"Despite their name, the benefits that ERA bring to the business are far more than expense reduction. It is much more about improving value and service from suppliers, and ensuring transparency and accountability. Their involvement has helped Wycliffe to rationalise and consolidate our supply chain, thereby strengthening relationships with our core trading partners. It has also allowed us to focus on supporting local businesses and reduce the impact our activities have on the environment. Jonathan's professionalism, pro-activity and focus on the detail continues to be invaluable to Wycliffe." [Tom Wood - Director of Finance & Operations, Wycliffe College]
