MANAGING DIRECTOR - MANGAR INTERNATIONAL
"The KTP collaboration was a resounding success. Mangar has benefited from fresh, lateral and untarnished thinking, which influenced activities across the whole company. In return we provided a commercial environment where our KTP Associates were able to put their learning into practice, build on their skills and competencies and quickly become accepted as regular team members. At the end of the programme, we jumped at the opportunity to offer permanent positions to Jon and Chris within our R&D department where they are both set to make an immediate and valued impact."

GENERAL MANAGER - FRANCIS & LEWIS INTERNATIONAL
"FLI is a business that used to think that design was about technical problem solving, analysis and detailing. We were missing a key ingredient, which is aesthetic conceptualisation. Now that we recognise the need for this ingredient, we are in a unique position. For small steelwork contracts, we can provide the services that usually require the involvement of an architect, an engineering consultant and a contractor. This makes us competitive and provides us with a niche."

MANAGING DIRECTOR - BSW LTD
"The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) scheme has proved to be a successful and rewarding partnership for all parties involved. Over the period of the scheme we have utilised the resources that UWIC and PDR have to offer with great effect. A key part to the success of this programme has been the selection of the right candidate. When another suitable project becomes apparent I will be revisiting the scheme to look at other options available."
