Senior Project Manager, Regional Contractor
We have had a successful relationship with Plan Ahead for more than two years, in which they have supported our bid management process with the delivery of several key programme submissions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Plan Ahead, their staff are competent, reliable and integrate well with our in house bid teams in the supply of programmes and other tender deliverables in a timely manner.
Their commitment to their clients business and their professionalism in delivery are without equal in my experience.
