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.

Recognising our exceptional collaboration with University of Glasgow, we were awarded the prestigious Technical Excellence Award.

Both awards highlight how mutually beneficial partnerships between industry and academia can deliver outstanding achievements.
