I very highly recommend Andrew to anybody wishing to create a Smart Grant application. Andrew is highly experienced and has considerable knowledge in this area. He used an effective process to guide us through the application, and kept up a good "drum beat" of work throughout the contract. Andrew was very effective at collecting the relevant information from us, and then crafting it into a superb submission. Always working with us, to ensure that our needs and wants were included, Andrew was able to advise us on things to include and to exclude, to suggest improvements and enhancements, as well as giving us guidance about the best way to present our case for funding. In making every effort to help us to succeed, Andrew remained professional, personable and encouraging throughout. Our thanks and best wishes to Andrew

Drew did an outstanding job in helping us with a recent RFP related to shipping. His ability to understand our requirements, craft a well-structured, clear, and persuasive response was impressive. The RFP he created was highly professional and effective, showcasing his expertise in RFP writing. We were very pleased with the results, and his work played a key role in helping us advance with the project. I highly recommend Drew for anyone looking for top-quality RFP writing services.

Andrew was excellent from start to finish, the grant application, which was for the UK Innovate Grant, was completed at pretty short notice. We were uncertain as a founder with limited funds of the best approach, but Drew worked with us and his pricing structure is really good value for money. Unlike working with a larger operation Drew is available when needed and we regularly communicated outside of the normal 9-5. I don't know, at the point of writing this, if we have been successful in our application or not, but the outcome is irrelevant in regard to this feedback as I know that we and Andrew did all we could to get this completed and over the line during the time we had. Highlighting our weaknesses within our initial review was key as we were then able to work on these and in particular our Project Team and financials were significantly tweaked as a result of Drew and his oversight. If we are to go through similar processes in the future I will always make Drew my first point of contact - 10/10 - thank you

I would highly recommend Drew to the Upwork Community. His support and understanding of the Grant process was excellent. We will be working with Drew regularly in future and cannot provide more glowing feedback of the process and collaboration.

Andrew took an innovative approach to address the challenges we face. The proposal was not just a request for funding but a roadmap for change, reflecting his deep understanding of our work and the community we hope to serve. This, combined with professional excellence and expertise, shone through in every aspect of the grant proposal. Drew’s proactive communication and responsiveness made the entire process seamless. With strategic insight and attention to detail, Drew crafted a proposal that not only met but exceeded the funder’s requirements. His ability to align our goals with the grant’s objectives was remarkable. I look forward to continuing to work with Drew in the future, and I highly recommend Drew’s strategic funding consultancy expertise to anyone seeking an excellent innovation funding consultant

Our experience with Andrew during the grant application process was outstanding. He seamlessly integrated into our team, consistently providing support and maintaining superb communication. Andrew's proactive approach led to an early draft, and he readily adapted to our feedback. Thanks to his efficiency, we had the final version ready well before the deadline, resulting in a thoroughly crafted and well-written grant application. Look forward to working with you again! Thanks Jordan
