Expense Reduction Analysts Wins Franchisor Of The Year Award Two Years In A Row

International Conferencing Centre, over 350 guests and hundreds of business nominees watched ERA win the award for the second year in a row. ERA UK’s managing director, Robert Allison expressed his gratitude: “We’re delighted and incredibly proud to have won this award for a second time. But the real stars of ERA are our people; from the dedicated, hardworking team at head office to our incredible Franchise Partners. Each and every one of them have my sincere thanks for the part they play in making this business the success that it is.”

With the support of HSBC, The British Franchise Association’s Franchisor of the Year Award is the highest recognition a franchisor can achieve. As the world leaders in cost management and procurement consultancy, ERA’s franchise partners are trained to offer strategic advice and the practical methods need to optimise supplier relationships and generate cash. With the highest consulting revenue of any UK procurement franchise, ERA has seen a dramatic boost in sales for the past five years, projecting a 13.2% growth for the next fiscal year.

While most franchisors aim at recruiting large numbers of franchise partners, ERA focuses on growth that stems from developing the business of each franchise partner individually. The British Franchise Associations chief executive, Pip Wilkins congratulated ERA: “To win this award two years in a row is quite exceptional and demonstrates ERA’s unwavering commitment to their entire franchise network. The whole team should be extremely proud of the culture of collaboration and communication they’ve built. I’ve no doubt ERA will continue to inspire us all with their innovation and ethics - we’ve very proud to call them a member of the Association.”
