YOUR EXPERIENCED TENDER AND PROPOSAL WRITING TEAM
Writing a winning tender or proposal requires experience, knowledge and strategic thinking, as well as the skills to write succinct, clear answers to each question that present your business in the best possible light.
Led by experienced tender writer Rosemary Gillespie, we are a strong team of expert, professional tender and proposal writers who have all worked in business development for legal, accounting and business advisory firms throughout the Asia Pacific region and around the globe.
Based in Sydney, Tender Writers works with clients of all sizes across Australia and across many industries, crafting tenders to government, private and listed organisations. Our in-depth experience means we can rapidly come up to speed with a new client’s business – understanding how they work and how best to structure their tender or proposal response strategy.
We have the skills to turn complex and technical language into clear, concise copy that significantly increases your tender’ or proposal’s chances of success.
Tender Writers is powered by Proof Communications, which Rosemary established in 2000. Born in the UK, she began her copywriting, editing and proofreading career working at the BBC in London, before moving to a large global Swiss-based business. It was here that Rosemary discovered her eye for detail that marks out her skills as a superior tender writer, editor and proofreader.
On moving to Australia, Rosemary’s copywriting career continued to flourish, becoming a tender writer for a global consulting business and later for a top tier law firm, before launching Proof Communications.

TENDER AND PROPOSAL WRITING TEAM
Caroline Roberts, Consultant, Proof Communications
Caroline is a writer, editor and communications professional. She started out in financial services where she spent almost a decade working in writing and editing roles. Here she learned to translate complex and technical material into reader-friendly and engaging (yet still precise) copy.
As a Communications Manager, Caroline wrote and edited a vast range of material. This included marketing and product collateral, web copy, employee communications, publications, documents, reports and letters. Caroline also supported executive team members with their written copy.
After leaving the corporate world, Caroline branched out on her own as a freelance business writer. She worked with clients that ranged from start-ups through to corporates and not for profits, and loved the variety of working for different industries. But while the subjects varied for her clients, they all had a common goal: to win business through clear, content-rich copy.
At Proof Communications, Caroline is part with a small team of dedicated professionals who work together to achieve the best results for their clients. It’s everything she enjoys, in a friendly team environment.
Caroline has a Master of Arts in Writing and a Graduate Diploma in Journalism.

Glynis Skepper, Consultant, Proof Communications
Glynis has always been a voracious reader, wielding her red pen at typos for as long as she can remember (and much to the annoyance of her school librarian).
Selling life insurance by cold calling wasn’t quite what she had in mind as the start of a stellar career, but it certainly was character building. From this unlikely beginning, Glynis spent many years working for AMP; her last role as presenter of Financial Services for Women seminars.
A move to the UK in 1997 gave Glynis the chance to establish her own training consultancy. After a number of years running her own business, she headed home to Australia. For the next eight years Glynis served as the National Customer Service Manager for a privately owned promotional apparel company in Brisbane.
Throughout this time, Glynis kept hold of her red pen, applying her eye for detail to her employers’ corporate communications. Still clutching that trusty instrument, Glynis joined Proof Communications in 2013 to support our B2B proofreading, copy writing and editing services for businesses across a wide range of industries.
Glynis also works with clients writing their winning tenders and proposals, case studies, articles and website copy. And she loves every minute of it.
