Simon Burrows
Senior Bid Manager
Summary
Bid management is a critical area to which people arrive from different experiences. In my case from sales and marketing, data led communications, commercial finance and pensions.
My varied skill set, past visits to hundreds of companies across multiple industry sectors, analytical mind set and solution design proved to be a successful mix, allied to a highly competitive drive to win.
Extremely well organised, with good communication skills, excellent team building and stakeholder management. Also experienced with external agency liaison for database, graphics and marketing collateral.
