We are excited to welcome and introduce our newest Pipster, Catherine Mckillop CF APMP (Cathi)!

Cathi joins Pipster as a Bid Writer bringing with her a long and varied career in education. She discovered her passion for bid writing just 18 months ago and hasn’t looked back since! She achieved APMP Foundation in 2024 and continues to strengthen her professional practice through the APMP Mentor Programme and wider industry learning.

Cathi has a desire to learn all about highways and civil engineering bidding, including NEC contracts, traffic management, structures, surfacing and road-marking. While learning, she is supporting the Pipster team with bid production, co-writing, research, compliance support and collaborative development with colleagues. Over the next year she aims to progress into leading bids, managing client relationships and supporting the wider team through editing and quality assurance.

Outside work, Cathi enjoys music, theatre and spending time outdoors, as well as time with her family. She also loves DIY, including home renovation, upcycling, crafting and gardening. Her interest in wellbeing and people-focused work is reflected in her upcoming role as Pipster’s Wellbeing Champion.
