After months of relentless job searching, Dane showed real initiative and created a one of a kind PR campaign ‘Employ Daney’ to boost his employment chances. This campaign included hosting ‘Come Dane With Me’ – an exciting dinner event where employers were invited round to Dane’s home to discuss tips for working in the industry.

The campaign caught the eye of employer Andrew Morrison, owner of AM Bid Services and member of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce on LinkedIn, who then head hunted Dane. Andrew initially discussed mentoring Dane, but was so impressed with his approach to finding work, he partnered with The Business Partnership to offer him a Bid Development Executive role.

Dane said: “With AM Bid Services being one of the UK’s leading bidding consultancies, I was absolutely delighted when Andrew contacted me to meet and discuss employment options. Andrew is approachable, diligent and has offered me nothing but constructive, spot on advice with my professional development interests in mind”.

Andrew stated that all he wants to do is help people in businesses reach their full potential, he stayed true to his word by offering a kind gesture – Dane’s first suit to be confidently dressed for the new role.

Andrew said: “I am delighted to provide Dane with an introduction to the world of bidding.  He has seized this opportunity with both hands and is already making his mark just one month into the job.  I am excited to see how Dane’s career  will progress now that he is with AM Bid Services”.

Dane is settling in well to his new role and is set to attend the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce Email Marketing for Business event which takes place on Friday 4th March.

AM Bid Services was founded in 2014 and established to assist local, regional and national organisations with delivering business growth by creating winning bids and proposals. More information about AM Bid Services can be found at: http://www.ambidservices.co.uk/
