Meet the team

Andrea started Klick Business Solutions in 2006 as the Managing Director, and over the last 13 years she has successfully built the company to having a team of 13 experienced professionals. Her specialist areas in the world of bids and tenders are Recruitment, the Service Sector and Training in Bid Writing. Her Apple watch is what wakes her up in the morning, before she heads over to the Klick office in Wall Heath. Andrea believes her job role mainly consists of sales, training and motivating. Her biggest achievements since starting Klick were winning ‘Businessperson of the Year Award’ at the Mayor of Dudley Civic Awards, and Klick winning ‘Small Business of the Year Award’ at the Black Country Chamber of Commerce Awards. A normal weekend for Andrea includes Leeds Utd, drinking in The Park Tavern and going for food at The Balti in Kingswinford.

If she could be anyone for the day, she would want to be Prime Minister.

Lyn joined Klick Business Solutions in 2009, is currently the Office Manager and is an integral part of the team. She considers her role in the office as being an organiser and Work-Mom to the Klick family, and she considers Gas Services her area of expertise within bids and tenders. She is woken up every morning by her dog, but the thought of coming to work and looking after the Klick family is what really gets her out of bed. Lyn is very proud of winning her ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ from Klick, and one of her biggest achievements was coming Runner Up in the Mayor of Dudley Civic Awards in the Mike Holder Award for Business Category. At the weekend Lyn enjoys eating good food, drinking alcohol and spending time with her family.

If Lyn could be anyone for the day, she would be in charge of the NHS and make lots of changes!

Andrea Nicholls joined Klick in 2008, and her current role is Business Manager. Prior to joining Klick, she worked with our Managing Director Andrea Childs for 4 years in business development for a Recruitment Consultant. Her specialist role within bids and tenders is Recruitment, but her job role also involves HR and Payroll. Andrea would describe herself as a Jack of all Trades, and if she had to describe her job to a child she was say; “I write English essays for a living.” Andrea has experienced many wins and achievements at Klick, but the most memorable one was winning a large-scale contract for a major government department for one of Klick’s much-loved clients.

Her weekends used to consist of the gym and going out for nice meals and drinks, but they now consist of the kid’s swimming/dancing/rugby/football/parties etc. This is then followed by binge drinking to cope with said kids’ activities!

Andrea wouldn’t want to be anyone else for the day, as she’s happy with being herself!

Lee Smith joined Klick in 2013, and is a Senior Tender Writer at the company. Lee considers his specialist area to be Social Value questions and states his greatest achievement at work was completely changing the IT infrastructure within the company (with no major issues!) Another satisfying achievement for Lee was when he won a high pressure bid for a small company, helping them retain their main contract. Lee would describe his role in the office as being calm, being the IT guy and being know-it-all. His passion for sports is the main thing that gets Lee out of bed in the morning, and enjoys chilling out on the weekends (when he’s not busy chauffeuring people around!)
If he could be anyone for a day, it would be an Astronaut in space.

Chloe joined Klick in September 2017 as a Tender Writer, with her specialist tender areas being her work with Taxi Companies and Environmental Enforcement. She would describe herself as a tea-maker, writer and communicator – and says the main thing that gets her out of bed in the morning is a full bladder! Her most memorable moment at Klick was when a tender was released that she had been waiting for, and that she was keen to work on! Every weekend is different for Chloe, but they mostly consist of going for food and seeing her friends and family.
If she could be anyone for the day, it would be her Mom – so she could relax!

Molly is one of the newest additions to Klick, after joining in August 2019. Having had brief experience with tenders within the Architecture industry, Molly hopes to build upon her existing knowledge and become a valued member of the Klick team. Molly is the most local staff member to Klick, living only a five-minute walk from the office. In her spare time, she enjoys seeing her boyfriend and friends, and her favourite part of the week is having a roast dinner with her family on a Sunday.
If she could be anyone for the day, it would be a judge on The Great British Bake Off – so she could be paid to eat cake.

Ben joined the company in March 2018 as a Tender Writer and believes his strengths within tender writing are answering questions relating to Health and Safety and his formatting skills (Lee didn’t agree with the latter!) His biggest achievement so far at Klick was working on a large bid for a company, who were extremely complimentary of his writing. The main thing that gets Ben out of bed in the morning is his fear of Lyn (and he would like to make it known that he still doesn’t use the alarm clock she bought him!) On the weekends, Ben enjoys going to the pub with his friends, watching sports and as he’s a drummer in a band, they always involve lots of music.
If he could be anyone for a day, it would be the musician Anderson Paak.

Jess joined Klick in November 2018 as a Tender Writer. Shortly after starting, she won a ‘Rookie of the Year’ award at Klick – which she says is one of her biggest achievements since starting here. Her husband is the person who wakes her up in the morning, but the fear of missing her lift to work is the main thing that motivates her to get out of bed! She considers her specialist area in tender writing to be Interpretation Services and Environmental Enforcement, and describes her role as consisting mainly of reading, writing and researching. When she’s not decorating, she enjoys spending time with her husband, playing the piano and going out for food.
If she could be anyone for the day, it would be her best friend who lives in Australia and works in TV.

Neil joined the Klick family in June 2014 and is Lead Administrator in the Klick office. Neil provides administrative support to all tender writers and is a valuable and knowledgeable member of the Klick family, considering his work on tender portals as his specialist area. One of Neil’s greatest achievements at Klick was working on a bid for a client where they initially didn’t expect to win, so he was over the moon when they were successful! He would describe his job role as varied, stressful but rewarding, and if he had to describe his job to a child, he would tell them he looks at computers all day.
Neil spends his weekends running round after his kids, and enjoys having a drink!
If he could be anyone for a day, he would like to be Lyn Kimpton, as he wants to understand what it would be like in her head for the day!

Jackie is the latest addition to the Klick family, after starting in September 2019 as a Tender Administrator. Jackie believes the strengths she will bring to Klick are her previous experience in administration, specifically in gathering and collating information. Jackie looks forward to supporting the tender writers and helping to ensure the success of the business! On the weekends, Jackie enjoys visiting her local pub, going for long runs with her dog and having a takeaway!
If Jackie could be anyone for the day, it would be her dog so she could be spoilt.

Gie joined Klick in May 2015, working as the Business Development & Customer Relations Co-ordinator for the business. Her role includes administrative support, business development, liaising with clients and keeping Klick’s social media up to date. Gie describes her role as challenging, versatile and fun. Her son Jaxon is the reason she gets out of bed in the morning, alongside coffee!
Gie’s weekends mainly consist of taking Jaxon different places to keep him occupied, however if she has a babysitter she enjoys socialising with friends and drinking gin!
If she could be anyone for a day, she would like to be Kim Kardashian.
