“ Julie and I have worked together for more than 7 years. We engaged her to do a wide variety of business applications, including rebranding of website management, capability statements, copy writing and design for tender proposals. We have always found her work to be of the highest quality, utterly dependable and her dedication is second to none – I have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone. ”

Che O’Neill
Director, Logic Group Facilities Management

“ My company employed Julie to negotiate the tougher questions within the non-priced tender process. Whilst we were comfortable with the priced and programming sections, we needed to improve our responses in the other areas that make the difference to winning a tender or not. Having worked with Julie on several tenders now, I can safely say that she is well worth the investment. ”
