We will achieve this through
The Bannon LaFerla Jones Partnership (BLJ Australia) was formed in May 1997, through the joining of three individuals already working in the field of Cost Management Consultancy.
The three partners recognised that by combining their previous and diverse experiences with a common belief that “Success comes from helping others achieve success”, they could create a synergy that would ensure their objective of being one of the leading cost management consultancies in Australia.
Our early days were spent creating databases of supplier, product and pricing information, and in developing a quality system to help ensure that the magnitude and consistency of results required by clients was achieved.
Since then, BLJ Australia Pty Ltd has grown to be the largest independent Cost Management Consultancy of its type in Western Australia, with the BLJ team helping over 300 corporate clients meet their requirements for quality and service in general overheads, at the most competitive prices.
Through strength comes strength and by representing our clients and their combined “purchasing power” of over $200 million, BLJ Australia can guarantee savings currently ranging from 5% to over 60%, across 30 areas of general expenditure.
The future looks even brighter. Under the expert leadership of David Jones and Dean Osborne, BLJ’s success has continued to grow and often exceeds client expectations. We have national clients servicing all states and territories, with a strong nucleus of clients with a WA base. Using proven methodologies and continuing to develop new and more efficient methods, procedures and tools, our skilled team provides a sought after cost management service designed to minimise the operational expenses of our clients covering many local, regional and national divisions.
