About Us
Egbert 'Eggie' Pereira
CLIENT WHISPERER. CHIEF MOTIVATOR.
Financials. Egbert’s right on top of them, whether our clients’ or the firm’s. And he’s a master motivator. He loves encouraging the team to reach their full potential. Eggie’s holding the reins at EPA Group. But he’s no control freak. In 18 years building the EPA Group, Egbert’s made sure he doesn’t need to dot every “i” and cross every “t” to keep the business moving. There are more important things to do, like looking after clients. “I love meeting people, and helping them achieve their goals. The challenge to complete each engagement keeps me inspired, as does the new technology I’m continually learning about.” Away from the technology, Egbert likes pottering around the house and going on long bike rides.

I help clients live well in the present and plan for the future.” if you’re up for a game, Peter’s into badminton, tennis, golf, snooker, computer games and board games.
