“Martin helped us to draft an Innovate UK grant bid which was sucessful in what will have been one of the most competitive rounds ever. Martin was highly knowledgeable about what assessors look for and provided lots of very specific feedback which enhanced our application no end. If we do another bid the first person I’ll be calling is Martin, I couldn’t recommend him enough to support you. Super good value for such high quality advice and guidance.”

The results of this project have gone on to inform how we work with over 500 universities in 50 countries.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Martin - very reliable and professional. We worked recently on an Innovate UK bid and as it was our first bid, it can be quite daunting, but Martin did a fantastic job of supporting and helping us to understand what assessors are looking for and how to best communicate it.
