Kathryn Pearson is the Managing Director of JGP Consultancy, an award-winning consultancy that helps small and medium-sized businesses find and win contracts in the UK public sector. She has been involved with the business supporting clients indirectly since 2015 and has built it into a trusted partner for companies in sectors as varied as NHS healthcare, construction, rail, facilities management and logistics.

JGP exists because public sector procurement is genuinely hard to navigate, and most of the help available is impersonal. Many providers simply send automated tender alerts and leave businesses to work the rest out alone. JGP does the opposite. Its flagship service, Tender Guide, gives every client a dedicated account manager who hand-picks suitable opportunities, helps with early buyer engagement, and supports them through writing and submitting stronger bids. It is expert, human guidance, week to week, from people who know procurement inside out. Clients often describe it as having their hand held through a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming.

Under Kathryn’s leadership, JGP and its specialist bid-writing team have helped clients win billions of pounds in public sector contract value, from individual tenders through to major frameworks. Kathryn is a practical, straight-talking adviser who believes winning government work should not be reserved for businesses with large in-house bid teams. At SheChain Live we will share the tactics that genuinely move the needle, drawn from more than a decade of helping SMEs compete and win.
