It is exciting to have clients across Scotland and the wider UK; a recent visit to Republic of Ireland shows good prospects there; and we now also have EU clients. I would like to say a special thanks to my team as their unstinting support and commitment is playing a key part in what we are achieving. It is also gratifying to be receiving invitations to speak at APMP UK events – recognition that fellow bid professionals are interested in our bidding tips!”
