Having qualified as a chartered accountant, I worked in audit, corporate finance and tax before entering the field of sales and business development over twenty years ago when I became Bid Director for Andersen in the UK. I since co-founded Never Second with Debi Coles and we work closely with professional services firms and other consultants advising them on winning business through competitive tenders or other sales and business development initiatives. I enjoy being involved in the design and delivery of training courses, workshops and other soft skills programmes for individuals and groups throughout the EU and beyond. I am an experienced speaker and writer on winning business, combining subject matter expertise with a big dollop of humour to get the message across!Specialties: Bids, tenders, sales, pricing strategy, writing proposals, rehearsing individual and team presentations, design and delivery of training, public speaking on my areas of expertise
