Thornton & Lowe

Thornton & Lowe has designed a range of practical bid writing training courses, designed to help you write clear, concise, competitive and compelling bids, whilst earning you CPD points (for which you will get a certificate).

We have also invested time and resources into developing our training, which has been recognised by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).

The business was formed in 2009 to support organisations to bid and tender for contracts. We have since grown in numbers and now have a directly employed core team of professionals split across our 3 key bid divisions; Bid Writing, Bid Resource and Bid Training. We have experience in both public sector procurement and commercial bidding, which gives us a unique perspective and allows us to maximise our clients success.

Testimonials

"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. Made me passionate about going back to work."

Rosie Tamayo, Bid Writer, Keepmoat Regeneration

"Excellent course. Great day. The course has given me a good overall view of objective bid writing. Charles was great in delivery. One of the best courses I have been on. Great structure & content"

Jon McAlister, Key Account Manager, Bromak

"Much better than others. More engaging and plenty of relevant materials"

• Our courses are delivered by Charles Grosstephan, who has been involved in well over a 1000 bids we have worked on; who has delivered nearly 200 training workshops around the country to nearly 2000 delegates.
• Our Bid Writing Workshops are delivered in a highly interactive way. We not only tell you what to do to, but crucially, how to actually do it. We focus on how to write a bid and successfully develop content. Delegates receive practical, hands-on, relevant information, packed with constructive tips and feedback, with ample time to have questions answered by someone who is highly experienced in actually writing winning bids.
• Our courses have been developed around industry best practise, input from procurement teams, and our years of knowledge and experience as bid writers in over 125 sectors ourselves.
• We offer a variety of courses, from an Introduction to Bidding course, to our one-day Bid Writing Workshop or our two-day Bid/Tender Masterclass, amongst others. Whatever level of experience and knowledge a delegate has, there is a course relevant to their requirements.
• Our courses earn delegates CPD points, for which a certificate is received
