Before long I started to see candidates of a much higher calibre than I had seen previously.

I would certainly recommend them to my peers and rely on them for support for any vacancies in the future." Dominic Stephens, Bid Manager, Toshiba

"NG Bailey always aims to attract the best people for its proposal teams. Earlier this year we began looking for a Proposal Manager to join the London team. Having spent three months advertising the opportunity directly on our website, we were unable to find the right calibre of candidate. We decided we needed specialist help, an organisation that fully understood the role, the nuances of proposal management as well as specific industry terminology. We therefore reached out to Bid Solutions – having worked with them before, we knew they understood our business as well as the intricacies of the role we were trying to fill. Since starting, our new Proposal Manager has responded to all challenges with dynamism and vigour, adding great value to the team. We believe that Bid Solutions are the natural choice for any organisation looking for new talent." Claire Bird, Senior Proposal Manager, NG Bailey

As a client, I appreciated having an expert take care of this on my behalf, knowing that I was receiving an exceptional service and a good result. Bid Solutions has a solid reputation that is absolutely backed by performance." Tim Snell, Head of Global Bid Management, Supreme
