What are the benefits?

The benefits of the KTP programme are numerous and diverse; they vary as vastly as the range of projects we've undertaken to date. For some, the KTP has led to rapid growth in products and profits, for others an expansion into the global market.

Perhaps the best way to judge the benefits is to listen to the stories and comments of some of the partners we have worked with.

  • Addison Lee – London’s largest minicab service, whose turnover has increased from £20m to £200m since completing their KTP
  • Neal’s Yard Remedies – utilising the best of Mother Nature
  • Dendrite – developing bespoke, ground-breaking clinical software

The main benefits of working with University of Westminster on a KTP project include:

  • improving existing products/services
  • developing new products/services
  • reducing costs

A KTP also offers an opportunity for businesses to invest long-term in new skills and expertise; seventy-three per cent of KTP Associates were offered a job by their host businesses at the end of the projects.

 

The results

"The company was growing at such a rate that the system we had in place was creaking at the seams… the biggest outcome has been being able to deal with the growth – we’ve grown from 800 drivers to now 2,500. The KTP was an excellent avenue for us to take."
