Smith of Derby
The University of Derby were very open when I approached them to explore whole range of ideas, and we became involved in certain design and engineering projects and knowledge transfer work.
”Bob Betts, Managing Director
Smith of Derby chose the University of Derby to create flexible courses for their senior managers which helped them to break into new markets.
The University of Derby spent time getting to know the business and instigated a range of initiatives to support the Managing Director. A company Development Programme was developed that focussed on real projects and issues within the business that needed addressing.
Each member of the Senior Management team tackled an issue in their work area, including improving the factory environment and creating more financial awareness across the business. Improvements are already being realised in these areas.
