Congratulations to our latest new joiners
EA Partners host our new intake
EA is thrilled to welcome our latest group of consultants.
In late June, EA Partners hosted our newest cohort for a welcome to EA, off-site event.
The team spent a couple of days getting to know one-another, enjoying a race track drive in very quick (C63 & E63) cars, dinner and drinks, an overnight stay and a morning discussing our growth agenda and ways of working.
Zero to 60mph in 3.3 seconds
Granted, EA is a business well known for its ability to act with pace, but 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds (in race conditions), made for a few nauseous moments!
Five teams of two took turns at the wheel, being coached by a racing driver (with his own brakes just in case).
After an hour, it was time to unwind and socialise.
A focus on growth
After a somewhat late night getting to know each other over dinner and drinks, the team met for breakfast at the hotel before kicking off the days discussions.
A real focus on understanding our clients pain points, those they know and those they’re not yet aware of, ensued.
The team spent time refining our value proposition, distilling our services into products that are both timely in the current climate, and value-add for clients.
Assessing what this all means for our people and their own growth agenda was an important session. As EA constantly looks to strike the balance between differentiating ourselves vs. the consulting market, whilst being clear to deliver measurable, valuable outcomes for our clients.
Thank you for bringing us all together. Wonderful to meet and spend quality time with the EA dream team. Emily B, Senior Consultant.

Selected Projects
0.1 Transformation
Pursuing a US listing for a UK Fintech
Unpicking a 10 year old ‘start-up’ and readying the finance function for a potential US listing required specialist expertise, intense focus, and a collaborative work-ethic. Our client, Worldremit, selected EA to help prepare for a potential future event.
0.2 Impact
Off-shoring central functions to reduce cost, without risking quality
Our client, NCP, was to transition multiple back-office functions to a lower-cost offshore location which would provide a more cost-effective model that would provide a platform to scale and improve future service. The Client selected EA to act as a partner to lead the strategy, design, and implementation of the new offshore hub.
0.3 Technology
Implementation of a new HR Tech Platform into a 40,000 FTE PLC
To remain competitive and to efficiently organise a complex operation of >40,000 employees, our client, Whitbread PLC developed a strategy that put its people at the core. To help facilitate this in a digital world, the Board determined that a new HR Platform was necessary.
0.4 Transformation
Developing a growth strategy, with intense focus on back-office optimisation
Our client, GC Partners set out to understand what action it needed to take in order to achieve its growth ambitions. They selected EA to help curate a strategy, one that was underpinned by a robust plan and in the near future, a revised organisational design.
