Hi – I’m Gretchen!
DELIVERY WITHOUT THE OVERHEADS OF A LARGE CONSULTANCY!
Business Sense is a boutique multi-skilled agency specialising in Strategic Grant Management. As a Lead Project Manager and grant funding specialist, I have more than 18 years of experience working in government, project management, economic development, tourism and in the commercial sector.
My results are underpinned by my ability to look at the big picture and then narrow my attention to detail, with a focus on quality and efficiency. This is overlaid with a passion for helping you achieve your vision. I draw on my extensive knowledge in Project Management to provide the best outcomes for clients. I am constantly looking for innovative ways to problem solve, being hands-on and having a down-to-earth approach!

WHY US
Because we love what we do & it shows in our work.
A balanced background in both the private sector and local government.
Dependable, qualified and experienced. When we say we will deliver, we will.
We are a small consultancy that works with others when needed so our clients don’t bear all the overhead costs of a large consultancy firm.
