Harry Spencer, Trehab Arboricultural Contractors

"We found the support from the Inclusive Supply Chain programme incredibly helpful in understanding how to write winning tenders. Attending the ‘How to Tender’ masterclasses and the 'Camden Procurement Club' event was particularly beneficial because they allowed us to engage with the local council and better understand their purchasing behaviour."
