YELLOW FLARE - YOUR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT
MY SERVICES
Bid and proposal management
Getting things over the line
We can help you manage the whole bid process, getting the best from your resources, to ensure a compliant and winning solution.
This could include getting ready for your approvals processes and meeting all client compliance requirements.
Financial modelling
Making complexity look simple
With an accounting background, and logical thought processes, Lee can develop financial models to meet both your client and internal needs. Working with you, we will develop bid winning pricing options.
Bid writing
Maximising the impact of the written word
Yellow Flare can guide you through the proposal development. We work with your subject matter experts to get their best input to a winning solution. We can take this away and write the response, hitting as many evaluation points as possible.
If you have already written your responses, we can evaluate them and offer guidance on how to score more highly.
Or we can simply proofread to make sure your documents are grammatically correct and read well.
CLIENT REVIEWS
A few of my recent LinkedIn recommendations
"Lee is a highly talented and versatile cost/finance modeller and bid manager who can work across disciplines and "gets under the bonnet" of the project(s) at hand enabling him to add insight and challenge into investment return business cases and solutions."
Dwayne Brook
"I worked with Lee for several months on a challenging infrastructure bid with a multi-lingual, geographically dispersed team. He joined in mid-project and hit the ground running, quickly getting to grips with and turning around some difficult working relationships. The whole team benefited from his ability to understand and defuse conflict and his judgement when dealing with people from different working cultures. Lee is very approachable while also commanding the respect of senior directors, so he was always in touch with what was going on and what needed to be done. He was a sociable addition to the team, organising many a night out, while also making sure the work got done and the project successfully delivered. Lee is a great asset to any project team, and I look forward to working with him again."
Heather Coombs-Terekhov
"I worked with Lee during a transformation and major change programme. Lee proved his expertise in FM service modelling as well as creating a social atmosphere amongst the team during some very difficult, stressful weeks. I'd highly recommend Lee to any employer as his professional ability is mirrored by his character and charisma"

ABOUT ME
Freelance Bidder
I founded Yellow Flare in 2011, after 20+ years in the industry, and have since been offering clients a wide range of consulting services for a variety of industries.
I'm a freelance professional, equally at home with words and numbers! My creative but pedantic writing skills, and advanced Excel modelling and finance and analysis background, means I can fill any gap in a bid team.
I provide critical support including planning, writing, evaluating and editing proposal responses; developing financial models & operational analysis; presenting to, and negotiating with, clients; supporting transition.
I love freelancing. I am not cheap, but after many years in this game, I am pretty good at what I do.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
For any occasion that I am unavailable, I am part of a small, select, network of bid professionals, so can usually find a substitute for a few days while I'm absent. We have all worked with each other before and trust each other to deliver to our clients when needs arise.
