2017 – A year of continued success for Thornton & Lowe’s Training team!

Once again, 2017 has proved a successful year for our Training team. We have travelled all over the UK and Ireland, providing delegates with the knowledge and skills to prepare and write successful bids.

“The demand in training shows the need for the skill set across all industries. It also shows how bidding for contracts is becoming much more a critical part of business growth and that companies are now taking a more serious, pragmatic approach”

Charles Grosstephan, Bid Training and Consultancy Manager

So, what did our Tender Training team get up to in 2017?

• Our training courses became CPD accredited.
• Thornton & Lowe became a training partner of Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce.
• Training has been delivered to dozens of companies, of all sorts of sizes, including Balfour Beatty, Keepmoat Regeneration, Viridor and Virgin Care.
• Demand for our Bid Writing training course continued to grow, and our 2-Day Bid/Tender Masterclass, introduced in 2016, has proved hugely popular this year.
• Our Online Bid Writing training course was launched, and is already reaching an international audience; also recently achieving CPD accreditation.

What do our delegates say about our Bid Writing training?

“This course helped me understand and apply the principles of writing a winning bid. I recently completed my APMP Foundation training & qualification and saw this course as the next step as it was far more practical and hands-on, as well as much more bid writing focussed."

Rosie Tamayo, Bid Writer - Keepmoat Regeneration

“Thank you for opening my eyes to the world of tenders. I’m excited to go back to the office and put it into practice.”

Jenny Turnball, Bid Coordinator – Armac Group

“This was really informative and helpful. It answered a lot of questions and got to the point. The interaction, format and flow was great. I learnt a lot of new tips to help with the process.”

Fiona Rodrigues, Bid Writer – Kelly ITS

“Interactive, informative, clearly knows his subject and felt able to challenge.”

Zoe Renshaw, Bid Manager – Lanes for Drains

So, what next in Bid training for 2018?

Thornton & Lowe are delighted to have successfully delivered training to hundreds of delegates in 2017. Several courses have already been scheduled in cities across the UK for 2018, including Rail-Specific and CSR/Social Value training. You can view all of our Bid/Tender training information here. We intend to expand the reach of our Online Bid Writing training courses, and continue to offer training through this exciting new format.
