Are bids, contracts or service delivery holding you back?​

  • First time bidding for council, housing association or national frameworks?

  • Tender documents eating into time you don't have?

  • Losing marks on quality, method statements or evidence?

  • Clients asking for KPIs, audits or performance records?

  • Winning work, but still not seeing the margin?

Why work with Lantern Davis?


Deep industry sector experience. Practical results.

​

My bid packages have helped win multiple public sector national and regional framework contracts, for our arboricultural, landscaping and environmental contracting clients.

​

I know the work from the ground up. My first site jobs in the 1980s included junior groundsman, sawyer's mate and Christmas tree nurseryman, in the days of basic Health and Safety. I've witnessed accidents & their outcomes.

 

I've never forgotten what site work involves: highly challenging site conditions, tight programmes and busy directors.

 

I later trained under Paul Elcoat, one of the industry's best-known management consultants, and served as a director of Elcoat Ltd from 2011 to 2015.

​

What I'm able to offer:

  • Management and business experience from across arb, landscaping, construction and other industries

  • Bid writing that turns your actual working practices into clear, compliant answers tailored to your business

  • Integrated management systems your crews can follow, with internal or external audits, without bureaucracy

  • Mobilisation plans, KPI records and job evidence, so your clients see you're meeting commitments

  • Plain, well-organised process documentation for people who'd rather be working than reading.

 

One award winning, environmental contractor said:
 

"Nick is very easy to work with, all our staff think so. He is always determined his work fits well across our business, and adds real value. It always has, sometimes in unexpected ways".

 

My role is to help organise your business systems, records and evidence around the expert work you do. I always remain sensitive to your in-house specialists - I don't tell them how to do their jobs. I do help you ensure your 'best' is consistent.

​

My credentials:

  • BEng, Coventry University

  • PGDip Business Administration, Warwick Business School, Warwick University

  • PRINCE2 project management

  • Product Management, IPM

  • Construction industry committee work, including published standards and peer-reviewed research.​​

​

Give me a call, there's no obligation and I'd be glad to hear from you.
I know your time is precious, and your business success is paramount.

 

We'll discuss how you can best achieve your ambitions for your products and services.

 

Naturally, our first, introductory meeting is free!
