Franchisee quote – Ian Hippach

"I have consistently and significantly increased my turnover year on year since joining in 2002; my target for this year is £200,000. Cost Management appealed to me because the concept is time-proof and recession proof. It is a huge market and an opportunity which even now we are barely scratching the surface of".

The EPI service

EPI Consultants work within a defined geographical territory to deliver innovative cost management solutions to clients. Our methodology is not limited to simply looking at reducing the cost of goods and services clients use. We aim to understand the 'bigger picture' in order to re-engineer the entire business process, thereby achieving continuous improvement. We work with clients to understand:

• The design and specification of the products and services they use
• The technology that underpins their services or is used to make a product
• The business processes that make up the client's supply chain
• The price and tariff configurations employed by the client

Our comprehensive and flexible system is one reason that 30% of EPI clients are in the public sector. This is a sector that we will continue to dominate and grow in. The EPI methodology also allows our consultants to build sustainable client relationships that last throughout the life of our consultants business, rather than having to continuously seek out new clients.

Franchisee quote – Alistair Grieve

"Other franchises I looked at were restrictive and prescriptive – not something I considered a challenge! EPI offered stimulating prospects and a degree of autonomy. I have a much better work-life balance now and am healthier as a result. Don't get me wrong I still work 40 hours a week but life is less stressful when you have increased control over what you are doing and when you do it. I wanted to be a master of my own destiny and that's exactly what I am now"

Leading Cost Management into the 21st Century

In response to overwhelming market demand EPI have invested £millions in developing the worlds first and only On-demand Cost Management Community Portal. The importance of this in the current market cannot be understated. As well as traditional consulting, EPI consultants can now offer clients a web-based software solution which automates the Cost Management process. The monthly subscription fees from clients are shared with the franchisee, allowing them to build an annuity style income and a business with a realisable value. This is unique among Cost Management franchises.

Franchisee Quote – Jonathan Jackson

"Being able to earn recurring fees and generate a passive income stream was very attractive to me! Once clients use EPI technology they become engaged and want to continue to use it. It is a revolutionary product with huge potential. My earnings have progressively increased each year and the opportunities are immense."
