Shortlisted for Growing Business Awards 2009

5th October 2009

The Research Partnership has been recognised for its international success, having been shortlisted for the Global Outlook and Expansion award in the 2009 Growing Business Awards presented by Real Business and the CBI.

The company has been recognised for its successful growth over the past 12 months, with substantial growth figures achieved by its innovative online market-tracking tool, Therapy KnowlEdge. The syndicated product, which provides real-time market share performance indicators for its subscribers, has expanded across Europe, North and Latin America in many therapy areas including RA, CKD, HIV, asthma and Crohn’s Disease, amongst others.

The Growing Business Awards were established ten years ago to pay tribute to the future stars of the UK economy. This year’s judges include Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Theo Paphitis, John Caudwell, founder of Phones 4 U and last year’s winner, Will King, founder of King of Shaves. The Awards ceremony will take place at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on 26th November 2009.

Mark Jeffery, Founding Director, commented, “I am delighted that The Research Partnership has been shortlisted for this award. Our global business has been going from strength to strength, despite difficult world economic conditions. We have increased our workforce by 15% in the past year and expanded our operations in the US. Therapy KnowlEdge has been very successful and was recently described by one of our clients as the “gold-standard” in patient record data tracking.”

In March this year, Therapy KnowlEdge was a runner-up in the award for “Best Use of Technology” at the Fast Growth Business Awards 2009.
