Double Bubble… Soapworks Ltd and University of Glasgow were recognised in two categories at the annual KTP awards in Manchester!
We’re delighted to share that Soapworks Ltd – in partnership with University of Glasgow and West of Scotland KTP Centre – scooped two awards at the special 50th anniversary of the annual Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Awards.
