TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN



Dear Sir/Madam

In November last year we engaged Cost Reduction Analysts (CRA) to review our office and IT consumables, taxi and courier spend.

The review, carried out primarily by David Latter, was conducted in an extremely professional, efficient and unobtrusive manner causing very little disruption to staff.

The results provided me with comfort that we were receiving excellent value from many of our suppliers and CRA's fee structure was agreed so that we were able to share any savings made, benefiting both parties.

I would have no hestitation recommending CRA to other law firms.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Colvin
