Who is in our Bid Team?

Hi! I am Caoimhe-Rose, Bid Writer and Coordinator at Colloide. I am approaching my one-year anniversary with the company and bring five years of experience in bid writing to the role. Over these years, I have developed a strong skill set, including written communication, attention to detail, strategic thinking, and research abilities. My role involves managing the complete bid and tender cycle, starting from the capture stage and progressing through to submission. This is a critical function within the business, aimed at securing new opportunities and maintaining Colloide’s industry presence and partnerships. I collaborate with Stacey, our Business Development Director, who oversees bid submissions and provides strategic direction to align with broader business development objectives, and Emma, our Business Development and Marketing Student, who supports various tasks such as research and coordination. My qualifications include a degree in Business Technology from Ulster University and the APMP Bid and Proposal Management Certificate.
