Andre Martin
I didn’t set out to work in bidding. I started in sales strategy, moved into market intelligence, and then found myself right in the heart of commercial strategy and loving every second. Once I got a taste for bids, that was it. There’s something about the blend of creativity, strategy and competition that just hits different. Especially when you know you’ve helped put together a winning proposal you’re proud of.
Before joining BidCraft, I worked for different technology software and consultancy companies, where I cut my teeth in the commercial and bidding world focused on the public sector. That area is now my sweet spot, and I bring a different perspective to each challenge, shaped by my time in different areas within business.
I’m calm under pressure and happiest when ideas are flying. Whether I’m crafting a strategy or helping teams refine their message, I’m always looking for the angle that’ll make our clients stand out.
Breaking complex tasks into clear, simple steps that actually help people move forward.
Watching people I’ve mentored grow, succeed, and find their confidence.
Mainly green (calm and supportive), with cool blue (structure), and a spark of yellow (energy).
That people realise there’s more than one way to reach a goal, the best paths aren’t always the obvious ones.
