A bid writing consultancy has won a string of business awards.
Pipster Solutions, based in Heywood, has been recognised for its work in the highways, civil engineering, and infrastructure sectors with several recent accolades.
Founder Pippa Birch attended the HSBC FSB Awards in Bristol, where the company was named Micro Business of the Year for the South West and Wales.
Ms Birch said: "Winning across multiple categories means so much to us.
"These awards reflect the hard work, care, and commitment our whole team brings every day – both for our clients and for each other.
"We’ve always wanted Pipster to be a business where people feel supported, valued, and trusted, while continuing to deliver real results for our clients.
"To see that recognised is incredibly special.
"These awards mark an important milestone for Pipster Solutions as the business continues to grow – while staying grounded in the relationships, teamwork, and community spirit that got us here in the first place."
Pippa Birch has more than 25 years of experience in the highways industry and has spent her career helping organisations secure work with local and national authorities.
Its people-first approach and industry expertise have been central to its success and growth.
In addition to the FSB Award, Pipster Solutions also took home three titles at the SME Awards, including Gold for Best Enterprise and Employee of the Year, and Silver for Best Employer.
Judges at the SME Awards praised the team’s business model and strong client relationships.
They said: "The blend of a core team and associate network demonstrates a smart, modern approach to capacity and expertise.
"The strength of client retention and repeat business is especially impressive, highlighting trust, consistency, and the ability to deliver in a high-pressure, high-stakes sector."
Pipster Solutions offers bid writing, management, coordination, consultation, and review services to clients across the public sector.
The recent awards highlight not only the company’s professional achievements but also the team culture it has worked to build.
Pipster was commended for its values of collaboration, trust, and flexibility, and for creating a supportive environment within the fast-paced field of bid writing.
These latest honours mark a period of growth and positive recognition for the consultancy.
