From Our Clients

  • “We engaged Joanne's services to assist in two strategic FM tenders for our business. Her enquiring mind challenged the methodologies we put in place & enabled us to raise clarifications to better understand the tenders & improve our response. We retained the existing client by some margin, & whilst. we didn't win the second, we finished with the highest quality mark in relation to our response - which is testament to Joanne's abilities.”

    Bid Manager - Large FM Company

  • “I engaged Joanne to guide my development of a tender response. Although I was confident in my offer, I had not previously won a bid through the tender process so lacked confidence in my understanding of the scoring system and ensuring that I was communicating the right things, in the right place, in the right way, to someone who I knew had no background on me, my business and probably isn't a subject area expert in the service that I provide. Joanne gave me advice throughout the process, answering my many questions and providing an excellent sounding board. She then reviewed my draft bid, and gave me well structured feedback that on receiving it, I realised was going to be essential to the success of my bid. As a small business I do have to carefully consider where I invest the budget that I have but I do feel that this is he best investment I have made in my business in a long time."

    Kathryn Hyde, Concept Communications

  • “The Star Foundation would like to express our thanks to Wordsmith for their invaluable assistance in completing a funding application for the Postcode Lottery Trust. Thanks to Joanne's expertise & guidance, we felt confident in our application. The professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail throughout the process was exceptional."
