Testimonials

Kind words from previous clients.

I’ve worked with Dominique over a 3 year period on various innovation fund bids with Northumbrian Water.

Dominique has quickly grasped the terms and questions of this new Ofwat innovation funding competition. She has directly helped us to win funding in every round so far.

She has given excellent, honest and sometimes brutally frank advice, which has helped us to avoid pursuing bids with little hope of winning.

I really enjoy working with Dominique and will continue to recommend her to my colleagues.

~ Clive Surman-Wells, Innovation Partnership Manager, Northumbrian Water

We worked with Dominique to prepare a project proposal. The experience was extremely positive.

She was able to tread the line between a grasp of our complex technology, and seeing it from the perspective of the jury to generate clear text, which made our points.

She managed the writing project (and us) well, leading to calm, steady progress and a submission of a well-polished proposal several days before the deadline: how’s that for a first!

I would be pleased to work with her again.

~ James Regan, CEO, EFFECT Photonics

I have had the pleasure of working with Dominique on several grant writing applications.

Dr Morrison is a joy to work and possesses all the traits of an experienced grant winner in terms of persistence, creativity, organisation, industry knowledge, and practical thinking.

Thanks to her endeavours, we have been awarded two Innovate UK grants (one SMART, one Biomedical Catalyst), which is very difficult to achieve for a global medical device company.

Her company is now a fully on-boarded supplier at Smith & Nephew and is considered to be our preferred supplier for external grant writing consultancy.

~ Dr Darren Wilson, Senior Scientist Robotics & Orthopaedics, Smith & Nephew

Dominique has an extremely driven and professional approach to working on complex applications.

Her technical background enabled her to understand the science behind our IP and enabled her to craft a specific approach to the final write-up that added significant value.

As a company we would certainly engage Dominique in any future projects we may consider.

~ Phil Lamb, Director/Strategic Advisor, Dyman Advanced Materials

We worked with Dominique Morrison Consulting (DMC) on an Innovate UK grant funding bid. It was obvious that without Dominique’s valuable input, diligence, and professionalism we would not have submitted an award-winning bid and secured funding for our international project.

We remain truly grateful to Dominique for her all her efforts. She really went above and beyond the scope and brief of our agreement.

~ Chris Stack, CEO, Zhyphen.com

Working with Dominique was a pleasure. Her capability to leverage a broad technical base alongside applied insight for bid development was welcome. Our collaboration with Dominique has directly supported our successful projects outcomes.

~ Andrew Smyth, Head of Customer Success, Software, Siemens Plc

Dominique has helped us to refine a number of innovation grant applications. Her reviews are carried out to an exceptionally high standard and with a fine eye for detail. Dominique takes the time to thoroughly explain her feedback and as a contracted assessor, she knows exactly what the funders are looking for. We now understand where and why our previous applications were failing. Through the knowledge and expertise shared by Dominique, we have written multiple winning applications. I highly recommend Dominique to help you secure your next grant!

~ Clara Sbraccia, Grants and Project Manager, Kymira

We had the pleasure of working with Dominique on a bid for funding to support an innovation project in the Water sector.

Her existing knowledge of the sector, as well as the coaching and support received during the bid writing process enabled us to be one of only ten companies out of over 200 applicants to win the award.

We continue to work with Dominique during the delivery phase and her support has been absolutely invaluable.

~ Andrew Donald, Global Business Development Manager, Resimac Ltd

I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Dominique on two water sector innovation funding applications – both successfully awarded!

Dominique’s comprehensive understanding of the process and requirements was invaluable. The passion that Dominique brought to the challenge we were facing was brilliant, and we really benefitted from her flexible support within tight parameters. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her support again.

~ Helen Patterson, Customer Service Manager, Northumbrian Water

Dominique is an experienced scientist with an excellent knowledge of funding sources and partnerships to develop exciting new technology.

~ Prof. Stuart Irvine, Professor Emeritus (Science) Swansea University, Science and Engineering, Director of the Centre for Solar Energy Research (CSER)

Having worked with Dominique over a number of years I have found her innovation funding proposal writing skills second to none. In addition, she is extremely well organised, hardworking and committed to producing the best quality proposals.

~ Andy Cobley, Chairman of the Institute of Circuit Technology.

I’ve worked with Dominique over many years with several clients, on a number of UK and international innovation funding bids. She is great to work with I hold her high esteem.

She has a positive and caring approach with an exceptional grasp of technology, business and finance matters and can see the big picture surrounding the bid in hand, coming up with practical and creative solutions.

Dominique operates in a highly professional, no nonsense, yet approachable and encouraging way.

Her business experience and diverse background as a technologist, bid writer, project manager, monitoring officer and grant assessor, enable her to quickly understand the competition needs, work closely with clients to develop a comprehensive application with unusually high success rates.

I recommend her to any organisation that wants to enhance their chances of success in securing grant funding.
