Galliford Try Investments
Rob worked for me as a Business Development Director at Galliford Try Investments. I found Rob a very personable individual with an excellent contacts database. He seemed to always get the brief, he gathered and managed the bid teams well and delivered some very valuable multi-million projects to the business. No task seemed too big or too small and every assignment was always carried with Rob’s trademark cheery, positive nature.

Experience from many sectors and techniques used across other successful businesses gives you options to consider and agree to implement.

Your team and stakeholders explain the functions and processes during on-boarding. Flow diagrams are used to check and challenge understanding. With your team we provide an overview and potential for improvement.

Our approach adds value by identifying change opportunities, sets out clearly how the change can be implemented, engages stakeholders to buy-in to the change and provides progress updates.
