Saving money never sounded better for Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Philharmonic Hall presents on average 250 concerts, events, and films, attended by approximately 250,000 people a year. The venue has an illustrious tradition of bringing the top names from rock, jazz, world, classical, and contemporary music to Liverpool as well as playing classic films on its unique Walturdaw rising cinema screen, the only working screen of its type left in the world.

Right from the start Mick Elliott, Chief Executive of Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society, saw the benefits in using Expense Reduction Analysts to review his overhead costs. "Like most organizations, Philharmonic Hall didn't have the time or in-house resources to look at our non-strategic expenditure as effectively as Expense Reduction Analysts," commented Elliott. "Because of this, I opened our doors and let Expense Reduction Analysts do what they do best."

"The savings across a wide range of expense categories have been excellent," Elliott continued. "70% of the suppliers were kept which meant that we didn't feel a thing apart from an increase in savings."

Following initial discussions regarding which categories would be looked at first, Elliott passed ERA Consultants Julia Goodfellow and Neil Cullen to Financial Director Andrea Keaveney. "Expense Reduction Analysts really understood our business and the level of personal commitment from the team was outstanding," Keaveny said. "They delivered real, long-lasting savings with minimal interruption - we hardly knew they were there. We continue to work in partnership with the suppliers introduced by Expense Reduction Analysts today, [ERA has] really done an amazing and thorough job for us -- with little support [required] from us.
