Nathaniel Houghton BWS

Chorley-based bid management and writing firm BWS has appointed Nathaniel Houghton to its senior team.

Nathaniel, who joins as bid director, began his career in bids in 2016, and his experience includes working for international recruitment and legal firms. He has led multi-national and multi-sector bids for strategic opportunities in both the public and private sector, giving him an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience. 

More recently, Nathaniel worked as a freelance bid consultant offering a variety of services focused on making the bidding process easier and more productive.

BWS helps to provide growth opportunities for businesses by delivering high-quality winning bids. The company won Micro Business of the Year Award at the 2024 Red Rose Awards, and has been nominated for a BIBA.

Nathaniel said: “BWS has a fantastic reputation of delivering high quality bids and related business services; a testament only strengthened by their recent award wins and nominations!

“I’ve been fortunate enough to know a few of the BWS team for a while now, and they are true experts in their field. Their list of clients is exactly what you want to see when joining a business; it’s a strong mix of fast-growing and industry leading corporations, to local and independent businesses.

"I’m really excited about working with the team, and continuing to develop alongside them, as adding value to the bid process is one of the things I love most about the job!”
