Testimonials
I worked with Jorge on a number of bids and he did a fantastic job. He was always collaborative and added structure to our work, always on top of his brief and hat was needed from key contributors whilst building and managing relationships. Jorge is dedicated and always went the extra mile with flexible working to ensure the bid submitted was at the highest standard. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jorge and I'm proud of the results we achieved.
Jorge is a superb bid manager who is able to be the personable, dependable and clear-headed point of co-ordination need to manage the sometimes slightly chaotic nature of complex bids, get the best out of all the contributors and into winning propositions. A lovely guy and great person to work with who can make the difference between a painful/pleasurable bid experience.
Engaging with Jorge was easy, very organised, and thorough. His extensive experience in managing bids and teams is evident, as he ensures clear roles, responsibilities, and adherence to timescales. Jorge’s input with regards to buyer values (putting himself in the place of the buyer at the customer) was invaluable and strengthened our value proposition. His exceptional writing, amendments, and attention to detail were instrumental in securing the deal.
