“Chris was hired by our company to map and document our Proposal Management process. From the outset, Chris and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication. They took the time to thoroughly interview our group, meticulously documenting our current process and creating comprehensive training materials for both current and new employees. Chris's expertise in Aerospace and Defence, as well as Bids and Proposals, was evident in the quality of their work. Not only did they accurately capture our existing process, but they also provided valuable recommendations for improvement, identifying key areas for enhancement. Chris's project management approach facilitated the smooth execution of the project. I highly recommend Chris and Hovester for anyone looking for a consultant who can help improve their proposal processes.”
About
I’m the CEO and MD at Hovester Advisory Group and we help companies win more Government contracts, scale their business and transform their sales operations.
Our track record extends over 200+ proposals, $2.1B in new business and an average 81% win rate
◾️Why Hovester Advisory Group
Bids and proposals teams often have to work with limited time, personnel and budget. This leads to a vicious cycle of low-quality bids, a drop in win rate, diminished employee morale and increased employee turnover.
A small investment into improving your win rate on commercial and public contracts can have a huge downstream impact on increased revenue and profit.
At Hovester, we have an impeccable track record and an average win rate of over 80% from nearly 20 years of experience working in this field.
Helping small organisations all the way through to the likes of CAE, Bombardier Defense, SNC Lavalin, STM, Aecon, Pomerleau, FCC Construction, FX Innovation we consider ourselves specialists in Aerospace & Defence (A&D) and Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC).

◾️My Background
I'm a first-generation immigrant who moved to Canada at 13. I hold a Mechanical Engineering Degree and an MBA, and I'm passionate about learning and continuous upskilling.
