Testimonials

Nat brings the perfect combination of legal sector understanding, bid expertise and project discipline. He quickly got under the skin of the firm and was able to challenge and support the team from the outset.

What impresses me most is his ability to remain calm and good-humoured while effectively ruling the bid timetable with an iron fist, ensuring that everyone delivered what was needed, when it was needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Deborah Fleming · Commercial Director, Stone King LLP

Nat’s contribution to the success of a £5m+ government tender was pivotal.

He managed the process from start to submission; ensuring all stakeholders were clear in their roles, their contributions and their deadlines. The content written and revised by Nat was a real value add; taking what had been written by solicitors and adapting it to the framework of the tender.

Importantly, there was a real drive and enthusiasm throughout.

Lewis Couth · Director, Walker Morris LLP

We contacted Nat as we needed urgent support for a large, national bid and tender proposal.

Within 24 hours of having an initial conversation, we had set up a full planning meeting and we employed Nat to work for us for 5 days on the project. Nat and I worked together onsite as well as remotely to deliver the project on time.

Nat project managed the entire bid/proposal for us and delivered the project on time and budget.

Nat’s expertise and knowledge were invaluable to us. He helped guide and educate us through some technical areas.

He has excellent technical expertise in multi-industry tenders and bids. His communication skills are first-class and he has been a pleasure to work with.

I would highly recommend Nat for his expertise, professionalism, and hard work. I’d be delighted to work with Nat again.

Joel Fletcher · Founder, recruitment agency

We brought in Nat late in the process. We had drafted our response, but the deadline caught us up and we needed the confidence that we had 1. been fully compliant with the tender process and 2. put our best foot forward. Nat identified gaps, developed win themes and all round improved our answer. He was quick, and well worth the small price for peace of mind and winning a contract that resulted in significant revenue.

Director · Manchester-based construction company

Having worked with Nat on various projects, I can’t recommend him and The Bid Consultants enough.

We have partnered on many bids, myself acting as a consultant to Nat. In that time, his clients have secured a number of key wins.

He is extremely knowledgeable around tendering, strategy, and best practice. Every tender I have been involved in has been managed efficiently and carefully, with Nat taking time to explain every step to all involved.

Not only is Nat an extremely capable and proven bid manager, but he writes clearly and with impact: ensuring to always tell a great story and align the message with the buyer’s wider aims.

If you’re short on time and need a bid managed or written, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact The Bid Consultants.

An excellent team with a fantastic track record.

Kyle Brook-McGurk · Bid professional

Nat is a fantastic addition to any bid team. His strong legal sector experience gives him a valuable perspective, enabling him to approach bids with both commercial awareness and attention to detail. Even when working to challenging deadlines, Nat remains calm and organised making him a highly reliable team member.

Aimee Barker · Bids and Proposals Manager, Stone King LLP

Nat, it is great to have you with us. It is clear from the [confidential] tender that you have made positive impact – so thank you again! It’s been a pleasure having you as part of the team these past few months. You’ve helped us out and shown us what good looks like. I wish you every success in the future. I am sure we will work with you again.

Malcolm Simpson · Managing Partner

Nat joined us at a crucial time when the firm had a number of active tender proposals to deliver to clients. His immediate contribution was impressive as he contributed to these workstreams straight away and helped to drive some great outcomes for the business.

In my role within the Finance team my interaction with Nat centred around putting together pricing propositions for new business. Nat demonstrated strong commercial awareness and understanding of how we could support one another in this process and his insight was key to our recommendations.

More broadly in his time at the firm he was able to liaise with a number of senior stakeholders effectively to coordinate a variety of tasks on tight timeframes which is testament to his organisational skills.

Joseph Leslie · Head of Commercial Finance

Nat is an extremely organised and competent bid manager with the ability to support, coach and project manage, not only internal team members but also external contributors. He most definitely brings out the best in people and there is no one that meets him that doesn’t ‘get’ his humour and caring approach.

Nat is driven to succeed and will no doubt be an asset to any business with his ‘can do’ attitude and thirst for knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending Nat.

Lesley Trapasso · Head of Bids

Nat was a pleasure to work with, he is an extremely focused, driven and organised professional. He has an ability to grasp complex concepts and translate these into easily understandable solutions. Nat is a great team player and always the first to volunteer to help out – nothing is too much trouble.

His ability to train in a fun and enjoyable way, whilst under constant pressure, is remarkable. He is able to manage multiple deadlines through comprehensive project management – his knack for building strong relationships also helps!

Nat’s solid work ethic and commitment to ensuring team success would be an asset to any team. On a personal note, I would not hesitate to recommend Nat.
