What this covers //
Over my career I've secured millions in grant funding and won competitive bids and awards, across green technology and education. Funders, commissioners and award judges don't simply back the best work: they back the clearest, most credible, best-evidenced case. That's what bid writing really is, and it's what I build: the commercial and impact narrative that turns genuinely fundable work into a funded project.
Relevant experience //
Green technology
Commercial narrative and funding positioning for a first-of-its-kind industrial cleantech operation, translating deep R&D and hard-won proof points into the case investors and funders need to see.
Education sector
Funding and bid work across further and higher education, building the case for institutional investment, new programmes and growth.
Founder-led and purpose-led businesses
Grant, bid and award support across green tech, technology and the charity sector, at the moments where the right funding changes what's possible.
Right for you if //
You have genuinely fundable work, real innovation, growth potential or social impact, but the application, bid or award entry isn't doing it justice. Or a deadline is looming and you need someone who can build a compelling, criteria-perfect case, fast.
