North of England Business Excellence Awards
Applying for the Awards is an excellent opportunity to:
- Discover where you are on your journey to excellence
- Showcase your organisation as a leader in your field
- Receive an independent feedback report listing the strengths and areas for improvement for your organisation
- Encourage the production of a structured improvement plan based on the feedback report
The 2010 EFQM Excellence Model© is used as the framework for assessment. To enter you will be asked to complete a structured workbook which looks at your achievements from two perspectives "How do you go about your business" and "What results are you achieving". All applicants receive a site visit from a team of experienced Assessors.
The Awards are presented at a glittering annual celebration of Excellence attended by several hundred businessmen and women from across the North of England.
