Case Study

“I worked with Lesley because of her efficiency, communications skills and personality. She was innovative in her approach to making bids, gave us a fresh perspective and had a sound understanding of what makes a successful bid, across a whole range of different funders. She gave us a constructive critique of the organisation's presentation and profile with an end view of how this would impact on funding. Not only did she deliver the funding, but she brought energy, intelligence and knowledge of the sector as well.”
