Much as you wouldn't have a mechanic fix a broken tooth or have your bank manager teach you how to play the piano, you shouldn't leave the writing or management of bids for your company with just ANYONE.

We are taking bookings for the two day Bid Skills Foundation course - we have scheduled dates each month up to November 2014 so far and if you are quick you might get the last remaining places for January 2014.

There is nothing worse than submitting a bid only to check it over again to find that one glaring error or misspelling because you can be sure the eagle-eyed person tasked with reading submissions will spot it too.
