This 2-day (12-hour) workshop will be delivered by Naomi Fox-Smith who is an experienced and successful Bid Writer, winning millions of pounds of contracts and grant funding through her mastery of the (dark) art of bid writing.

Naomi’s Bid Coach business provides SMEs with bid support services, and to help more people win bids, her expertise and experience from the past 15-years has been distilled into “Bid Skills for Success”, her high-impact training course.
