Tender Writers - Our Team
Our central office is in Bolton, Greater Manchester (UK Capital of Business – according to us…). We have a strong team of 8 full-time, directly employed members of staff from this office. This does make us different in comparison to many of our competitors who boast large teams, which are made up purely of freelance staff. We then have specialists across the Country to provide additional expertise and capacity in order for us to effectively manage our contracts from London to Scotland. Our approach ensures effective management, consistency in service and quality. See our case study and testimonials page.
