Who we are

Amy Burton-Bradley

Consulting Director

I’m passionate about helping firms win more new business and retain existing clients…
I get a kick out of seeing professionals thrive!

Amy is currently on parental leave.

During her 15+ years immersed in professional and expert services marketing Amy has seen what works, and what doesn’t.

Her advice and practical know-how propels professional practices and other providers of complex services to better business development and greater profitability.

Tenders, bids & proposals expertise

Amy’s overall ‘win rate’ is tracking at 74% (based on outcomes in 300+ bids 2009-2022) and
for the 18 month period January 2020 – June 2022 her win rate is tracking at 86% (30 wins out of 35 bids)

Expert in tenders, proposals and pitches for business, Amy has an enviable success rate which derives from clear thinking, spot on advice, creative approaches to presenting credentials and effective project management.

Amy has special knowledge of tendering to all levels of government and the insurance sector. Long term relationships with clients means Amy takes clients’ credentials and bids to another level through effective and persuasive evidence driven storytelling to win work.

Amy’s latest publication, Part 1 of JMA’s Win more tenders, bids & proposals series, is available for download here.

As a Director of the business Amy also leads the consulting team at JMA along with Co-Founder and Director, Mark Midwinter.
