About me

With 20 years of experience in bid and proposal writing within the construction, civils, and engineering sectors, I have developed a strong ability to craft compelling narratives that secure funding and contracts. I am eager to leverage these skills in the non-profit sector, where my expertise in persuasive writing, stakeholder engagement, and public procurement procedures can drive meaningful impact.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed and authored bid documents securing project values between £500k and £30m, consistently achieving high conversion rates. My ability to translate complex technical and financial information into engaging, persuasive content has been instrumental in securing funding and fostering long-term partnerships. Additionally, my experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams has honed my ability to coordinate input from various stakeholders, ensuring clarity and cohesion in all submissions.

Passionate about writing and driven by the opportunity to contribute to causes that make a difference, I am keen to bring my skills to your team. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and capabilities align with your needs

What am I looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to use my commercial background for good rather than for profit. I am particularly interested in organisations who operate within my community of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) and for whom a few hours of my time each week would offer a meaningful impact. By background in Bid Writing and Company Management has afforded me a diverse skillset which I would like to leverage in the 3rd sector.
