Introduction
The UK Excellence Award (UKEA) was launched in 1994 to recognise organisations which have excelled when measured against a framework of excellence, the Excellence Model.
The Model is used successfully throughout Europe and beyond as a rigorous external structure to examine an organisation's current capability.
UKEA is the highest accolade to be gained nationally, ideal for organisations progressing from internal assessment, through their regional Award process, and
ultimately gaining national recognition. The application process provides invaluable detailed feedback to all applicants to help on their journey to Excellence.
The three main aims of the Awards are to:
Assist organisations to improve
Identify role models to demonstrate what can be achieved
Recognise those who have shown exceptional ability and performance in the management of their organisation.
Organisations that win a UK Excellence Award demonstrate excellence in all areas of operation with all applicants appreciating the enormous benefits gained from the application process. This is certainly a case where taking part is just as important as winning.
The BQF Achievement Awards are also be given at our prestigious awards ceremony for outstanding
performance in the areas of:
Leadership
Process Improvement
Partnership Development
Employee Satisfaction
Customer Satisfaction
