Need an Expert?

Your mid-sized company doesn’t have the team or know-how to win the best bids and grow your business.

Perhaps you’re launching a new project but you lack the KPIs, SOPs and legal documents to have confidence you’ll get the job done right and on time.

And business isn’t what it used to be.

The economy has slowed. Clients are demanding more checks, balances and ongoing reporting. 

To win business, you have to show up with the best proposals, the best plans and the best ROI.

But unlike the big corporations, you don’t have a team to support you.

Imagine what it would be like to call an expert who understood your industry, had insider knowledge and could help you win more business.

You can relax. We've got your back.

IGY6 Consulting Ltd works with mid-sized energy, mining, aviation and military service companies to provide proposal management, business strategy and remote camp logistics. So you can close more deals, do better work and enjoy repeat business.

Here's what clients Say:

“Before working with IGY6, we didn't have the internal support for developing and creating quality proposals or responding to RFI, RFP & RFQs. What we produced internally was lacklustre and didn't convey our value to the client.  Now that we're working with IGY6, we're delivering polished proposals with strong performance metrics. 

The result? We just won a bid worth $120 Million.”

WHO IS IGY6? Carla & Murray Dawes

Murray Dawes, co-founder of IGY6 Consulting Ltd., aviation, logistics and remote site logistics

MURRAY DAWES — Co-founder

  • Chief Advice Giver
  • Oilfield, aviation and logistics expert
  • Industry insider
  • Master negotiator
  • Loud shirt-wearer

Spend a few moments with Murray, and you’ll see what a quick-thinking and world-wise person he is. 


Working overseas and in war zones taught Murray to consider all risks and find every opportunity to create win-win situations. 


Murray worked for 7 years with the United Nations (UN), arranging all the contract, lodging and ground transport in mission areas like Yugoslavia and Africa. Murray grew his expertise by managing the logistics, security and safety of thousands of people and equipment in risky situations.


Murray then worked for multinational corporations, government agencies and service providers in Canada and abroad to grow contract revenue, improve performance and ensure multi-million dollar projects were successful and profitable. Murray was working for a civilian service company supporting the Department of National Defense in Kabul, Afghanistan, when he met Carla in 2004.


After several years working as a manager of logistics in the Canadian oilfield, Murray and Carla launched IGY6 Consulting to help mid-sized businesses thrive in a highly-competitive market.   

Here's what clients say:

“It was very easy to work with Murray. He’s a real professional and creates a comfortable and positive relationship.  We didn’t have the internal know-how on the terms and conditions for a project. He easily filled that gap. Everyone was satisfied. If the time comes, 

I'd definitely use his services again.”

— Mining Sector Project Manager

CARLA DAWES — Co-founder

  • Chief Proposal Wrangler
  • Graphics & communications expert
  • Compassionate human
  • Emotional resilience coach
  • Stand-up paddle board instructor

Don’t let Carla’s easy smile and good nature fool you for too long. She’s a master at managing multiple stakeholders and projects, and will kindly, but firmly, let you know what’s needed and when.


Carla has an incredible pedigree with business communications and writing. She worked for several years with Canada’s largest engineering firm, developing standard operating procedures, budgeting, planning and managing proposals in response to RFPs, RFQs and RFIs. She managed communications in Canada and to teams deployed abroad.


Carla also spent several years in Bosnia and Afghanistan managing accommodations and logistics with a civilian service company contracted to the Canadian Forces Peacekeeping Missions. 

It was here where she met Murray. 


For 10+ years, Carla has run a successful communications consulting and photography business. She’s supported numerous clients with print and web content, presentation materials and managing proposal submissions from 25 pages to 2,500 pages!


With IGY6, Carla helps businesses elevate their communication and presentation materials and wrangles successful multi-stakeholder proposals.


Murray and Carla live in Kelowna, B.C. 

Here's what clients say:

“We had an exceptional experience with Carla. She was the bid quarterback on a multi-million dollar multi-year project proposal. I saw her in action and was blown away - off the chart talent, off the chart patient. Her organization skills were incredible, her dedication to this bid was unparalleled. The resulting proposal was tight, organized and polished.
