Recognised for innovative approaches, client-focused solutions, and exceptional communication skills.I also work with my colleagues to ensure we provide excellent service to existing customers, refining our offerings to meet their needs and inspire loyalty. During my self-employment at A Better Bid, I helped business owners make sense of the grant and tender process. In five years, I helped dozens of companies understand how to incorporate tenders in their strategic growth, look for opportunities, decide what's worth applying, and what strategies and techniques to use when writing the response. With 25+ years of employment in the public and private sectors, formal postgraduate qualifications reinforce my experience. I am committed to lifelong learning and reading voraciously, leveraging professional and personal growth opportunities to achieve my commitment to continuous improvement.Expanding my professional network via BNI has proven key to business growth, professional development, and personal development. I enjoy connecting with professionals to help them grow their businesses by connecting them with others or providing recommendations.When I am not working, I can be found reading, cooking, and sharing food, wine, and laughter with friends. I am chef, maid, and butler to a feline monarch, who competes with my loved ones for time and attention and insists he should be my First Priority. If I could choose a superpower, it would be the ability to bend space and time.
