BiD Masters recognised with Exporter of the Year award

UK-based consultancy BiD Masters, which supports organisations across defence, transportation and technology, has been named Exporter of the Year at the 2026 Sussex Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

The award recognises the company’s international growth, which has seen BiD Masters evolve from a UK-focused consultancy into a global partner, delivering strategic capture, bid and communications support across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia.

The company has expanded organically through recommendations and repeat business, with successful projects creating opportunities across multiple divisions, countries and international programmes.

International opportunities

Pete Coyle, Founder and CEO of BiD Masters, said: “Winning Exporter of the Year is a fantastic recognition of the work our team has delivered over many years. We’ve built our business by becoming a trusted extension of our clients’ teams, helping them secure strategically important opportunities in the UK and around the world.

“The UK has an exceptional industrial base, particularly across defence, engineering and advanced technology. As governments increase investment in defence capability and industrial resilience, there is a significant opportunity for UK organisations to grow internationally. We’re proud to play our part in helping businesses realise those ambitions.”

The award reflects BiD Masters’ continued investment in expanding its international capability and strengthening its multidisciplinary team. The company supports clients across transportation, defence, aerospace, advanced manufacturing and technology, providing flexible expertise to help them win business, with a core team, a network of experienced self-employed licensed bid writers, bid managers and graphics. Teams are matched to clients’ sectors and opportunities, ensuring specialist expertise, enabling rapid mobilisation, efficient knowledge capture and a disciplined approach to developing high-quality, competitive bids.
