The LankellyChase Foundation distribute funds to charities all over the UK. They help homeless charities, people dealing with substance abuse and mental illness. They are the good guys.
They are looking to rebrand, so working with a design agency in London, I put together the RFP document. Competition was tough, but because of the work I had put in on the RFP and my personal history, we were shortlisted down to the final 2 from 35 entries.
After a meeting with the Chief Executive and the powers that be, we just missed out on winning the contract.
A great shame, because what they do is really close to my heart.
Again, I was highlighted by the potential client for my presence and thoughts in not only the initial meeting with the communications manager, but in the subsequent meeting with the rest of the decision makers.
