Meet The Team

When people ask me what I do, I usually answer with ‘’I win things, professionally’’. Despite being a fun and delightfully opaque thing to say, it’s still true.

I help people win contracts through bidding. For the last 12 years I’ve been doing that at Tenders-UK, and in that time I’ve shaped how we think about things like strategy and our writing approach. That led to creation of systems of thinking like 3Mind Writing®, and also new agile project management approaches to deliver better work faster. In early 2022 I took on the role of Managing Director, and now I get to steer the ship as we move into an exciting future. 

As a member of the senior team at Tenders-UK I ensure everything we do meets the expectations of our clients. That means not just handling HR and Finance within the company, but also getting involved with projects and clients to help them win new contracts. My background in education and law helps inform how I approach what we do, and my three years writing bids for the company mean I know what great looks like in our projects.

I work with clients in some of the most regulated and challenging environments globally. Working on over 200 Bids across Defence, Maritime, FM, Logistics and Healthcare sectors has given me a deep insight into the kind of complex, technical bids which win in those fields. I am dedicated supporting the strategic business growth of my clients, which mean enabling them to expand in their sector and become market leaders. Over my seven years at Tenders-UK, I can evidence a success rate of 85%.

I help Health and Social Care businesses win large-scale Public Sector contracts, and have worked with over 200 different companies in this sector over the last decade. That breadth of insight into sector has helped me understand and respond to changing priorities within the NHS and local government. My role as a Bid Manager is to help companies understand contract opportunities clearly, challenge and refine their delivery approach, and then work out how to mobilise it in a way which shows a distinct advantage over the opposition.

Over the years of working at Tenders UK, I have established a reputation as a trusted advisor to professionals looking to grow their business through winning tenders. In particular I have built up a large portfolio of professional clients working in spaces such as Healthcare, Translation, and Legal services. My dedication to extensive research to understand specific sectors informs a winning strategy for each client and leads to creative and inspiring bids. Nothing is more satisfying than hearing that a client I have supported has won the contract we have worked on together.

I am an experienced Business Professional with history of working mainly within the IT and Telecom industry. That experience of complex technical services informs how I help both UK and International firms win government contracts. Having worked on everything from small grants funds to multi-billion pounds term contracts, I can help you understand what’s needed to win.

Coming from a background of teaching, I have a natural ability to take complex, difficult to understand concepts and deliver them in a way that people understand and believe in. I have experience in writing bids for global companies and small businesses in both the private and public sector across every fields the company operates within. 

After graduating with a First-Class Honours Degree in English Literature from Liverpool John Moores University, I joined Tenders UK through its Graduate Scheme. Since then I have worked on hundreds of bids over the years, including all of our largest projects in the last two years in defence and healthcare. These days my role encompasses not just writing, but consultancy and research to help our clients develop their offers. This trusted support means many clients seek me out for those must-win projects which define their futures.

I joined Tenders UK with a background in writing grant applications for charities, and I have been able to further my knowledge, understanding and ability during my time with the company. I have worked on hundreds of bids, collaborating with an impressive range of customers within a varied range of sectors such as Health, Social Care, Construction, Soft FM, Boats, Education, Environment, Transcription, Language Services, Manned Security, Defence.

From helping incumbent clients ensure the continuing delivery of high-quality services, to dealing with new and often small companies, I am experienced in providing insights and expertise to help businesses secure the contracts and funding they need to grow, evolve and flourish.

With a background in scientific research along with several years working as a Data Manager and OU Tutor, writing, presenting and evidencing has been an integral part of my career. Working as a Bid Writer for Tenders UK utilises my breadth of skills in a challenging and rewarding way across a truly diverse range of sectors. I relish the opportunity to support organisations to win tenders and progress in their sector, presenting their capabilities, demonstrating their achievements, and articulating how they will exceed the commissioner’s expectations. I work within a fantastic team of highly skilled people at Tenders UK, all committed to achieving the highest scoring results to ensure our clients win.  

I joined Tenders UK in 2020, after graduating with a BA Hons Degree in Geography from the University of Cambridge. Since then my knowledge of bid writing and the world of public sector contracts has grown significantly. I am committed to producing high quality work for every bid, supporting our clients to win contracts and secure their place on frameworks in a diverse range of sectors. To do so I gain an in depth understanding of every client – their people, services, and processes, and the bid-specific strategy which will support compelling tender responses. 

In my spare time I relish the great outdoors, getting close to nature through long walks and macro photography.

With a background as a Graphic Designer and Art Editor in print & digital media, I have worked as Marketing Manager at Tenders UK for over 10 years.

My day-to-day job involves researching opportunities, navigating portals, maintaining aspects of the website, and from time to time I get to dip my toes back into design, not only for us, but for our clients too. The challenges are often varied, but always interesting.

After Graduating with a First Class Honours in degree History from Nottingham Trent University, I joined the Tenders UK Graduate programme with aspirations of perfecting my professional writing skills. Tenders UK has not only equipped me with the literary and persuasive skills necessary for excellent writing, but it has granted me the additional problem-solving and communication skills vital for me to help clients in a variety of sectors.

Combining my love for linguistic creativity with my passion for music outside of the workplace means my life has a consistent thread of creativity woven throughout it – enabling me to thrive in every aspect of my life. 

I joined Tenders UK with a background in Education, and a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing from The Open University. Joining Tenders UK’s Graduate Programme allowed me to shape and develop my skills as a bid writer so that I can become a valuable asset to my clients and colleagues.  Having the opportunity to support clients in sectors as diverse as social care, logistics, and recruitment has given me a broad understanding of public sector contracts which I can now use to generate new ideas for my clients.
