KTP pioneer recognised with Honorary Fellowship
A PIONEER of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme has been recognised for his work with the award of an Honorary Fellowship from the University of Wolverhampton.
Dr Russ Bromley has a career spanning more than 50 years during which he has been a research and development technologist, production engineer, manufacturing manager, sub-contract negotiator, sales director, managing director, consultant / adviser and a community leader.
The university said he had provided invaluable support and commitment to the Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP) at all of its stages.
“It has been my privilege to be a part of KTP because it’s about achieving success working with people in partnership. Company managers, university academics and new graduates make an unlikely partnership but it’s worked for nearly 40 years,” he said.
The university said working as a contractor-adviser with the Innovate UK / Knowledge Transfer Partnership Scheme and its forerunner The Teaching Company Scheme for the last 18 years had given him a unique opportunity to facilitate knowledge transfer projects to both the private and public sectors.
Bromley has worked as advisor to the University of Wolverhampton since 1996.
In Congleton, where he lives, he was chair of Community Projects, led the bid for the award of a £13m Single Regeneration Budget Grant and was vice-chair of a successful bid to save the community hospital.
