Six years of separation and incorporation

As ERA approaches its sixth anniversary (where does the time go), Henry and I recently held a meeting and posed one big question: what makes ERA unique? What is important to us as a business? What are our core values? ERA's new website is about to be launched, and while you will soon discover some fascinating facts about each team member, we also wanted to highlight the values that matter most to us.

ERA's fundamental value has always been “We Work For You” which was later refined to We Care - but what does that actually mean? For ERA, it signifies that we act as an extension of the client, integrated into their organisation and culture, supporting them (not literally) through their personal journey and projects. If you have worked with any of us at ERA, you will know that our commitment, integrity, and transparency are the foundations of long-lasting relationships. I am personally proud that we don’t just talk about values – everything we say, we genuinely mean.

As a team, we empower clients by embracing their challenges as if they were our own. We do this purposefully and with integrity: we don't cut corners. We care – it's that simple. When ERA was founded, Henry and I wanted to ensure that our clients experienced a smooth transition to an exciting new phase of their business and working environment. Every day, we work with diverse teams and clients, so we must be adaptable and aware of each person’s unique challenges. Our goal has always been to break down barriers and create spaces where our clients' businesses can flourish. And we deliver this on time and within budget.

For the new website, we will be listing our values and explaining each one in detail. But as a sneak peek, here are a few now, and we hope you will agree…

• Excellence and humility

• Health and well-being

• Integrity and honesty

• Relationship commitment

• Accountability

For Henry and me, these values form the bedrock of ERA. Even during our early days, as we were establishing ourselves as leaders, we recognised that these principles had propelled ERA forward. Pride in our way of working is what sets us apart from many competitors. This approach has led to repeat business and new opportunities, stemming from the consistent quality, attitude, and effort we have demonstrated over the past six years.

 A link to the new website will be coming soon, so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

David and Henry
