UK-based Traffic Technology company 189 Siemens has received a 5-star Recognised for Excellence award at the 2013 UK Excellence Awards, presented annually by the British Quality Foundation to recognise business performance improvement.

Siemens has used the European Foundation Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence model as a key framework to assess its business excellence, understand its strengths, identify areas for improvement and drive a culture of continuous improvement. The company’s score, measured against the EFQM Excellence Model, increased substantially, earning Siemens the award.

Managing director Gordon Wakeford, said: ‘To be one of three finalists at our First attempt is a huge credit to all of those involved. This is the highest Recognised for Excellence certification in the UK using the EFQM model and shows that we continue to improve and strive for excellence. Siemens is about innovation and technology. If we don’t continue to get better as a business all the time we just wouldn’t be where we are today.’
