Case Studies
West Coast Partnership Bid- Project Coordinator
I was pivotal to setting up and mobilising a bid team, including a new off-site office which accommodated over 50 consulting staff and firms. I continued to ensure the smooth running of the office, including team communication systems, as well as ensuring effective team admin and coordination between workstreams. As the bid went through, we ensured its many project and governance milestones were met, reaching its peak at bid submission. Furthermore, the position also included being the daily point of contact for the Department for Transport (DfT), and I was responsible for the tracking and tracing of all documentation, activity plans and progress status reports.
energie Fitness- Opening’s Manager
I led the establishment of the gym as Opening's Manager, responsible for all aspects of the build and fit out of the site. This work was successfully completed within the required timescale and budget, establishing a Covid secure working environment. Additionally, I lead on HR, Marketing and Sales for the project, launching as the top pre-sale gym in the country with nearly 1000 paying members.
CAYO- Project Manager
I managed the launch of a successful start up. Led all workstreams, ensuring alignment with organisational goals and successful implementation of new systems and processes. I managed project delays and implemented corrective actions, mitigating impact on timelines while maintaining high-quality deliverables. I also launched new business initiatives that expanded the company’s portfolio and market reach.
Galldris- Bid Manager
As Bid Manager I was responsible for coordinating the production and submission of bid documents to specification. Furthermore, I stepped in to create the majority of their community plan, drawing from the company’s basic fundamentals, and creating innovative but project and community specific ideas to include in the bid.
“As a franchisee with a full-time job elsewhere, I needed someone I could entrust with overseeing the building of a new gym, managing the entire pre-sale marketing period, hiring a full team and overseeing the operations once open. Lucy was the perfect fit. During the building of the gym, she quickly built strong relationships a number of important stakeholders (the franchisor/brand, the third party contractors, our property landlord and myself as franchisee). Lucy’s diplomacy, project management and drive enabled the build to complete on time and within budget. She simultaneously managed the pre-sale process of recruiting gym members whilst the build was in process, enabling the gym to open with nearly 1,000 paying members on day 1, and hired a team of 7 professionals to staff the facility. I was so impressed with Lucy’s abilities and drive and ambition that she’d displayed, that I persuaded her to remain with us for the first 6 months of operation to ensure everything in the club ran smoothly. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Lucy to anyone who needs a trusted “point-person” who can manage complex situations, work out solutions, yet know exactly when to pause and ask for assistance/discuss things. She’s a pleasure to work with and I hope to have reason to work with her again in the future.”
