There have been some fascinating changes in our profession since we conducted the last survey in 2015, and on the whole, I am pleased to report that the changes are positive.

The 2018 Bid & Proposal Salary Survey has once again shone a light on gender inequality within our profession, with men on average earning 21.5% more than women. The difference was 23.8% in 2015, so while the gap is closing, there is a long way to go for parity to be achieved across genders.

January is the time of year for resolutions and plans for personal and professional development. It is also our busiest period for recruitment. Whether you are planning your next career move and looking for a new opportunity, or hiring into your team and taking advantage of a busy candidate market; we recommend you reach out to the team and discuss how you can benefit from our expertise in this sector.
