Connecting Minds, Creating the Future of Excellence

Assessors form the backbone of our Awards and evaluate organisations, identify their strengths and share opportunities for improvement and growth

Assessors make Business Excellence Awards possible every year silently working behind the scenes. It takes more than just hard work and dedication to be an assessor; it requires a sense of purpose and commitment and the ability to understand rules, weigh performances and contribute within a team.

People often join as new assessors and work their way up through years of involvement to become a senior assessor, deputy team leader and then team leader. Responsibilities for every company visit and assessment are based on the role of the

assessor.

Inspired by the hands-on in-depth understanding of excellence, many of the assessors have encouraged their own organisations to apply for the awards as well as members from their social circle to apply as award assessors.
