CTS
Noel is a very enthusiastic person who is deeply knowledgeable and experienced in bis writing. He takes time to get to know the business operation and helps businesses of all sizes to be able to put down what they do in a succinct way that the buying organisation can understand. For us, that was our most difficult task before Noel came in. He works with a smile as he is passionate about helping businesses win more work. We have continued to use NB1 for the last 8 years and will continue long into the future.
The other thing about NB1 which we found useful was the business network connections. Noel is quick to think about how his clients can work collaboratively and is excellent at making introductions.

KINSHIP CARE
Noel has been my personal mentor for the past 8 months. During this time Noel has provided me with valuable advice and guidance, both as the CEO of a very successful charity and at a personal level (ensuring I am achieving an important work/life balance). In addition, Noel has taught me the trade of tendering for contracts - with PEACE IV two tenders submitted and secured for £45,413 and £55,068 (total £100,481). It should be noted that thanks to Noel, both tenders received a score of 100 out of 100!
Noel has been my critical friend and has helped me reflect on my role as a CEO and all the responsibility that goes along with running a Northern Ireland charity. Thank you Noel for just being amazing.
