"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

If I had the vacancies, I could've taken all the candidates Bid Solutions put
forward. 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

professional assistance and both vacancies were filled within weeks. Special mention
should be made to the specialist knowledge and experience in the special field of
