Susie Grantham
Director
Susie leads our Proposals, Bid Management and Marketing departments. She can draw on over 20 years of experience to offer a highly professional, focused, bespoke service for our clients.
Starting a career in marketing led Susie onto owning a successful bar, restaurant and events business. Following the sale of the business, she began working for a global aggregates business around the time PQQs and bids were moving away from tick boxes and the need for a more polished bespoke written document was required to accompany the pricing envelope. This led to a decade working on major infrastructure and tunnelling projects, heading up a highly successful pre-contract team.
With experience in all areas of bidding, Susie is the driving force in any team. She brings energy, strategic thinking and an inclusive, personable approach to ensure high quality bid outputs are produced and delivered on time.
