Tender Writing & Off-Shore Manufacturing Support Services

When Shield360 started working with this family owned corporate clothing company in 2018, the initial scope was for a specifc product innovation.  However, after the first meeting it became clear that there were many more added-value services that Shield360 could offer the company, including tender writing and off-shore supply chain management.

Since then the relationship between the two companies has grown from strength to strength, with the Shield360 team being integrated as part of the company’s tender team.

Shield360 also offer off-shore production management which enables the company to be more competitive in large tenders rather than only being able to buy from UK stockists.

Working on a project by project basis, this gives the company the flexibility to utilise Shield360’s services as an additional resource as and when the company’s workload requires it, or for high profile and high value tenders.

Company Managing Director:

“Since meeting Natalie of Shield360 she has helped us write and deliver better tender writing, that has put us in pole position against the competition. With her technical knowledge, she has also advised and delivered a better and far more robust procedure in manufacturing overseas to enable us to deliver projects on time and in budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anybody that needs help in these areas”
