Steve Lawrence, Managing Director - East Essex Vocational Training

I have to be very careful about who I work with and reputation is everything.

I have known and worked with Dan over the past four years and I have commissioned his services, which have been cost effective, quick and of very good quality.

Avril McIntyre MBE, Director - Community Resources

We loved working with Top Marks Bidding. Dan hit all the deadlines and was quick to respond to any queries. He really ‘got’ our organisation and communicated that really well in the bid.

I would highly recommend Top Marks Bidding to organisations big and small looking for business development support.

Thomas Harley, CEO - Get Set UK

We have been working with Top Marks Bidding for a year now and during this time we have achieved an 87% success rate! Their knowledge and expertise around bid development for education and employment services is fantastic, and their flexible approach to working around our schedules makes getting bids in a whole lot easier.

Santino Fragola, Head of Lifelong Learning - Wandsworth Council

I have worked with Dan Marks on two projects. One involved Dan leading a partnership bid for funding and the other working directly with my service. On both occasions I have found Dan to be extremely conscientious, thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Dan establishes rapport very quickly and has demonstrated an ability to deliver high quality work to deadline.

Chris Murray, Managing Director - The Write Time

Top Marks Bidding has been very supportive and committed to The Write Time, developing excellent bids which have helped shape our programmes.

They really understand our social mission and have become a trusted external provider for our bid writing.

Top Marks Bidding delivered a great piece of work for Biff Bang Pow and off the back of that we have secured more business. Their interaction with our client and general ability to disseminate requirements were just what the doctor ordered!

Mark Cosens, Director - Cosens Consult

Dan responds swiftly to a brief and manages multiple demands to produce concise and well-structured bid content. He understands how to distil highly complex bid writing tasks into straightforward bid solutions. He is reliable and great to work with.

Every time I have called upon Top Marks Bidding to assist me with written material, ranging from professionalising a pitch deck and sales material to writing a video script, they have delivered a second to none end-product.
