“In 10 years I have billed over £1.1 million”
After 10 years as an Expense Reduction Analysts franchised consultant, Neil Cullen has just renewed his franchise for a further 10 year term and knows if it is anything like the last 10 years; the future is looking very bright indeed.
Neil explains “I joined ERA pre-franchise in 1994, becoming a franchisee in January 1997. In my previous role in Engineering I was stuck in the same environment, day after day.
"I am now in a position where I earn much more than Engineering would have given me. My lifestyle is so much better. I enjoy great variety in my working day as I meet clients and suppliers, all of whom have different needs.
"I also work with a large number of my fellow franchised consultants on different projects. Julia Goodfellow and I jointly visit new prospective clients and share some of the project.
"10 years on I have not looked back. In this time ERA has grown to be the world's largest and best-known cost management consultancy group.
"ERA has given me the opportunity to indulge in one of my greatest passions which is travel and the benefits of ERA mean that whilst I don't get paid for holidays I can always use my fellow ERA colleagues to manage my clients while I am away.
"I have just renewed my franchise agreement for a further 10 years and in my work role I simply couldn't be happier. I often remember a song that was around when I was made redundant in 1993, which was called ‘Things can only get better’. Well, in joining ERA things have become even better than I could ever have imagined.
"I am already looking forward to another 10 years. I cannot wait.
“The ERA franchise has enabled me to turnover an average of £100K per year for the last 10 years.” - Neil Cullen
