Since AM Bid Services inception in October 2014, the company has grown from Andrew Morrison, the founder, to now having 4.5 employees. The recent appointment of David Gray as Bid Development Director, joining from multinational EDF Energy, as well as the 2016 Midlothian and East Lothian Chamber of Commerce ‘Best Employer for Student & Graduate Recruitment’ Business Excellence Award win make for a strong start to the company’s third year of trading.
