Managing Director

As Managing Director of Bid Solutions I am passionate about helping clients win new business. Today’s bid and proposal profession is unrecognisable from my early days as a trainee bid manager. With increasingly savvy procurement professionals, more competition and new technology changing the way we bid, it is my job as Managing Director to ensure we offer you market leading people, tools, training and services to help you win more business. Prior to joining Bid Solutions, I spent 10 years at global IT organisations. I held positions such as Head of Professional Services and Head of Bid & Proposal Management.

Operations Director

I joined Bid Solutions in 2013 as the office administrator and have progressed in that time to Operations Director. I can’t believe where the time has gone. It’s certainly been an interesting journey. I am responsible for managing the admin team, finance, training and driving process improvements (the team love my new processes).
Chilling at home with family and friends or with my head stuck in a good book. I enjoy travelling and have already booked my holidays for the next two years.

Recruitment Director

As Recruitment Director, I am responsible for consistently providing long-term success for our clients in an increasingly competitive market. I achieve this through a personable and professional approach, along with a continuous education of the industry, ensuring that I speak the same language as fellow bid and proposal professionals.
Having progressed through the ranks at Bid Solutions, I understand the culture and winning mentality that ensures we stand out from the crowd. I am an active member of the APMP and enjoy networking at local events. Come find me and say hello!
I enjoy keeping active and find running to be a great way to de-stress. This is particularly helpful as I am an Arsenal season ticket holder, which is not good for the blood pressure.
