They focus on their customers’ specific needs, developing people-centric solutions based on their in-depth understanding of their clients and of the financial services sector.

The differing needs of their clients are met through three specialist solutions: interim skills; talent acquisition and managed services. eacg secure experienced professionals who provide support throughout each stage of the project, programme or portfolio lifecycle and develop a solution that is the best fit and offers value for money for their clients. In 2016, Aberdeen Asset Management planned to establish a global services centre to reduce their operating costs and eacg developed a proposal in response. Having been approached by a director at eacg who was already familiar with our services, The Bid Team were engaged by eacg to provide bid process review support mid-bid and recommend improvements to their bidding procedures.

They engaged The Bid Team to provide bid process review support for this key proposal.
