Master Class in Bid Writing – training for the housing sector
Funding bids are always important but perhaps never more so than in the current uncertain economic climate.
Nuts and Bolts Training is delighted to offer this comprehensive bid writing course developed specifically for the needs of the housing sector.
This course has been developed by John Westby, to help teams and organisations improve their success rate with funding bids.
John is a highly regarded and sought after expert on the subject of bids and tenders. With an enviable 30 year track record of securing multi-million pound contracts and grants within and beyond the housing sector, he has delivered his bid writing training courses throughout the UK.

“In a single day, John was able to provide insight into significantly improving the organisation’s process of bid writing. He provides excellent tools for linking the function of bid writing to the organisations core objectives , demonstrates how implementing these techniques can significantly improve success rates. Unlike other bid writing courses John encouraged us to practice the techniques and he gave constructive feedback. The course was fast paced, interesting and will assist in my role daily”
