Scottish Awards for Business Excellence
What are the Scottish Awards for Business Excellence?
The Scottish Awards for Business Excellence are the most rigorous and prestigious business awards in Scotland, allowing your organisation to assess how well you are doing and to benchmark your achievements against other organisations. Entering Quality Scotland’s awards scheme - The Scottish Awards for Business Excellence - gives you the opportunity both to gain this valuable feedback and to win an award that is recognised across the UK and Europe as a mark of outstanding Business Excellence.
Who can apply?
The awards are open to any Scottish organisation from the private, public or voluntary sector that has been operational for at least three years. You can apply at any stage of your journey towards business excellence and, although assessment is undertaken using the EFQM Excellence model, you don’t need to be using this within your organisation to be eligible.
