KTP Best of the Best Awards November 2024

HYVERT living wall at Manchester Metropolitan University All Saints Building with Scientific Research team

Having already received a Certificate of Excellence, our Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP1) with The Manchester Metropolitan University has just received further recognition, being nominated in TWO award categories at the forthcoming 2024 Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Best of the Best Awards.

We are nominated in the ‘Best Knowledge Transfer Partnership’ AND the ‘Changing the World’ award categories and we couldn’t feel prouder!

KTP1 successfully facilitated our capability to assess and quantify the environmental and ecological benefits of our modular living wall system HYVERT.

This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and tenacity of the Manchester Metropolitan University team of Academics led by Dr David Megson, who all played their part in this environmental study and especially our Head of Research & Development, Joseph Rouse. 👏

Special mention again to Dr Bamidele Adebisi, Dr Emma Coulthard, Dr Sanja Potgieter-Vermaak and all other hard-working academics who contributed towards KTP1’s success.👏

Count-down is now on for the awards ceremony which will take place on 27 November at the VOX Birmingham.🏆

Congratulations to all other Finalists too
