I am passionate about Bids and Tenders within an organisation and understand the importance of leveraging market intelligence to maximise opportunities. I am driven by the creation of unity and purpose between Bids, Sales, Marketing and Business Development. 

A highly organised and detail oriented Senior Bid-Manager/Writer with excellent writing/proofing skills and solid business and commercial awareness. Adept at developing innovative, engaging and creative content to strengthen bid submissions, research prospects and develop bid strategies. I am a confident, open communicator used to working to tight deadlines and have a sound knowledge of Tech, Global HR, Property, Facilities, Media, Education and Finance sectors. I am a motivated self-starter used to managing a pipeline of PQQ’s/bids from capture/ initial opportunity to final submission, pitch and presentation. 

​

I am used to creating content strategies and detailed story boarding that enhances the quality of the overall response to make it not only compliant, but responsive, impactful, customer focused and most importantly, persuasive. I have excellent attention to detail as well as the ability to think strategically, refine process and collaborate with senior stakeholders and clients. 

​

Prior to moving into Bid Management, I worked in London for 20+ years as an Executive Assistant to Corporate business leaders within Conran, Kingfisher, H.W.Fisher, TP Bennett, Ingenious Media, Time Magazine, American Express, Prudential Health and Derwent London whilst simultaneously enjoying a semi-professional music career as an artist/songwriter. I feel that this experience has given me the unique privilege of seeing how businesses run from a Senior level and shaped how I approach difficulties with a creative, positive and enquiring mind. I am never afraid to challenge the status quo, and I am constantly looking out for ways to improve efficiency, process and knowledge across the board.  I can remain focused whilst always keeping an eye on the bigger picture.

​

I have been involved in creating, writing and recording music for the last 20 years and have performed as a singer in various incredible venues from Glastonbury to Moscow and everywhere in between. I am a published song-writer and have been played on BBC Radio 1, 6 music, BBC Radio Wales and numerous European and US radio shows.
