London, England, United Kingdom - February 7, 2024 —
Proposal management specialist, Strategic Proposals, has added WIBAP EDI’s ‘Team of the Year’, its latest award, to a series of industry excellence successes.

The EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) recognition was particularly welcome, given the company’s EDI commitment and values.
Strategic Proposals MD, Jon Williams, said:
“Internally, we've been on a huge journey as a business over the past ten years. And externally we've tried our utmost to help contribute to EDI initiatives in the profession - conducting the research that led to WIBAP being formed; initiating the programme that created the UK bid & proposal apprenticeship scheme; creating our bursary scheme to help with training and exam fees for those less advantaged; putting wellbeing at the centre of events such as "Rising Stars".
Those efforts have been on-going over the past year. It's lovely to be recognised. More importantly, it's lovely that some of the things we've done have made a positive difference.”
