Testimonials

“Working with Jack on my ACE bid application has been incredibly straightforward. It feels like working with a friend as well as a colleague. He gets back to you quickly and is incredibly reliable. He's very experienced and suggested things I wouldn't ever have been able to think of on my own! Jack has been transparent about his working hours and fee and has checked in with me at every stage to check if I'm happy with how things are progressing. Jack made things easy for me to follow, with regards to what he needed from me and when, and laid things out so I could clearly see what we had done and what was still left to do. I asked Jack questions that I could well have been asking a producer but I trusted his judgement and he became an advisor on the project as well as a bid writer. Jack even sent me opportunities that would suit my piece and introduced me to theatre companies I hadn't worked with or approached before. I'd definitely work with Jack again.’

“I had the pleasure of working with Jack on my Bwoy Dem R&D bid, and I can confidently say his expertise and dedication have been instrumental in our success. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the bid writing process, quickly grasping the nuances of what our bid needed and his attention to detail was meticulous. Beyond his technical writing skills, Jack is a delight to work with. He is proactive, a clear communicator, and always open to feedback, ensuring that our bid was successful. Thanks to Jack, we obtained our funding and I cannot recommend him highly enough to any organisation looking to elevate their bidding success. “
