"I worked with Karen on a bid and being new to the business and bids Karen took the time to explain to me how the bid process works. Karen taught me the fundamentals of the bid process and best practice. Karen provided guidance on how to set up a bid library and suggested ways to make managing our bid process more efficient. Nothing was too much for Karen and she was happy to answer any questions that I had. The quality of Karen’s work and support is unmatched she is a truly dedicated Bid professional. I would definitely recommend Karen to any person or business looking for support within their bid team."
