About Us

The Knowledge Partnership is a small specialist team of higher education consultants, operating across the UK and Europe, from offices in Leeds and Cambridge. We pride ourselves on supporting your individual higher education strategic and operational needs – whether in terms of market research, reputational analysis or bespoke communications or marketing support – on time and to budget.

Since the Directors have worked in higher education marketing and communications leadership roles, we believe that we understand both the inhouse and external needs of universities and colleges far better than general communications or marketing consultants. David Roberts and Louise Simpson have between them 40 years’ experience in higher education reputation management.

Our core consulting team is also supplemented by specialist associates when we need to be more than the sum of our parts, but our pledge is to offer our clients grown up consulting, rather than put juniors to the tasks that require expert knowledge. Because of this, our projects are led by our Directors.
