Midlands Excellence company information, Employees & Contact Information

We’re here to make the UK Midlands economy more competitive and efficient. A 1600% return on investment demonstrates our sustained effectiveness over the seven years we have worked with the Regional Development Agency, Advantage West Midlands. They gave us £1m of public funds and we delivered £16m of added value to the region. We aim to have this kind of positive ‘multiplier effect’ on every organisation in the region. We’re the UK’s only charity dedicated to sharing the philosophy of Excellence with the business community and the public sector. Our roots are in the EFQM excellence model, a proven framework that can help any organisation to systematically improve its whole performance. Since 1996, when Midlands Excellence was founded to improve the region’s economy, we’ve created a vibrant community of organisations in the Midlands and beyond who are dedicated to sharing best practice. We achieve this through holding inspirational events and performance-boosting workshops. We are supported by our volunteer assessors who enthusiastically give their time to assess organisations entering our exciting Midlands Excellence Awards programme. Many of our high-profile sponsors have been with us since the start, sharing our passion for making Excellence accessible to everyone. Through our subsidiary, Investors in Excellence, we also offer tailor-made programmes for individual organisations, including Six Sigma, Kaizen and Lean.
