case study

Essential Healthcare Solutions is a leading specialist medical equipment and service provider whose mission is to raise the standard of care. This local SME had always used external agencies to develop marketing materials. As the company expanded, the need to embed a marketing capability within the company was identified and we worked closely with the company to develop its in-house marketing operations.

We are impressed with the ease of dealing with the university on the BGIP placement at YPO. It was a simple and smooth process, and we are fully confident we gained the best candidate for the role.

Having the support of the university staff for our graduate was a valuable resource, and this ensured a seamless transition into their new role at YPO.

David O'Brien IT E-Commerce Manager, YPO

We are a young, ambitious company but small in turnover and income generation in this current phase of the business. We identified the need for us to have internal marketing input and that’s when we found the Business Growth and Innovation Project. Leeds Beckett University helped us greatly by making us aware of the scheme and we worked with them to scope out exactly what we wanted in the position.
