Employee reward is a complex field.
Let us guide you through it.
How EBRS can help
We work with clients to optimise their reward systems so they can more effectively recruit and retain employees, equipping them to better meet their business objectives.
Whether you want to check pay levels, review the way you organise your roles or improve your organisation’s reward processes, we can provide appropriate support:
We find out about your organisation and your needs.
Next, we recommend options and advise on a solution.
Then we deliver results, giving independent advice you can rely on.

Who we are
Set up in 2009, we provide UK businesses with essential benchmarking and reward solutions (hence our name, EBRS), helping you to make the most of how you reward your employees.
EBRS is run by Karl and Alison Ellis. We’re a unique husband and wife reward team based in Chepstow, on the edge of the beautiful Wye Valley (there are photos of the area all around the website!) And being a small consultancy, you’ll work with the two of us throughout.
