Leeds Beckett University Case Study: Colchester Machine Tool Solutions

Universities and higher education institutions (HEIs) throughout Yorkshire and Humber are frequently engaging with business in a variety of ways. One example of business engagement taking place in the region is at Leeds Beckett University with Colchester Machine Tool Solution.

Colchester Machine Tool Solutions provide machine tools to the engineering and manufacturing industry. Sarah Hussain, Finance Director at Colchester Machine Tool Solutions, highlights their business faced a challenge of staff retention. This was due to an ageing workforce with many approaching retirement. Leeds Beckett University offered Colchester Machine Tool Solutions a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). The KTP was based on two outputs, Succession Planning and Marketing. This initiative supported Colchester Machine Tool Solutions to obtain critical knowledge on how to recruit and retain the next generation of employees and enter new markets.
