Changes at the Top in London Excellence
After many years with London Excellence, Caroline Buttery is standing down as Chairman.
Caroline was instrumental in getting the London Excellence Awards launched in 2005 and we will miss her drive and kindly common sense.
Meanwhile we are delighted that David Gutteridge from Mott MacDonald will be taking over as interim Chairman and we also welcome Holly Baker from AWE to our Board.
Celebrating Success: The London Excellence Awards
The 16th July saw the celebration of the third London Excellence Awards at the Carisbrooke Hall. Hosted by BBC business journalist, Adam Shaw, this event provided the opportunity for us to celebrate the achievements of organisations from London and the South East.
Nine organisations were announced winners of the annual London Excellence Awards and City & Guilds took the Blue Riband Award as Best Investor in Excellence. Other awards were won by organisations as diverse as Tower 42 in the City to Thames Reach, a charity supporting the homeless.

Autumn Conference: Welcoming back Olivier Mythodrama
Our Autumn Conference this year is being held on the 29th November.
We are delighted that this event is being held in collaboration with the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI), strengthening the links between the worlds of Excellence and Quality.
In addition to the CQI’s Quality Leader of the Year and all the winners from the London Excellence Awards 2007, we are thrilled to welcome Phyllida Hancock from Olivier Mythodrama.
Based in theatre, rooted in psychology and focused on organisational development, Olivier Mythodrama facilitates transformational learning.
“”Richard Olivier was the most amazing speaker I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Had every single member of the audience in his hand. Changed my thinking on leadership for ever.” Peter Baldwin, Corus Construction
If you have not heard Olivier Mythodrama speak then you have missed a treat. Many people last year promised to bring their whole management teams back this year. So book early to avoid disappointment.
