“With their proven track record of success, Lianne and the team were selected for a 3rd year to work with Trinitas to research and compile strong evidence-packed bids for a range of projects in 2024.
Lianne’s knowledge and understanding of the CIF process places them in the ideal position to maximise the chance of success in what is a dwindling success rate nationally. The whole bid package including the many surveys and visits leads to the delivery of successful projects with the shared aim of keeping our schools warm, safe and dry.
Lianne’s ongoing managing of the project is essential to success, with the attention to detail, quality is ensured and important tasks kept on track.”
“We have had the pleasure of working with Lianne, and her expertise has been instrumental in helping our schools secure vital funding through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). Lianne has an incredible ability to write compelling, successful bids that truly understand the needs of schools. Thanks to her, we have won funding that has allowed us to carry out essential improvement projects.
Her support doesn’t stop at the funding stage—Lianne has also expertly managed the tender process for these projects, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Her attention to detail and professionalism have been invaluable throughout.
We highly recommend her to any school or trust looking to secure funding and deliver improvement projects with confidence. Lianne’s knowledge and dedication make all the difference.”
