This is Ever-So-Lean Extra, where we serve up an extra dose of excellence!

In Season 1, we're immersing ourselves in the prestigious UK Excellence Awards, an event that epitomises innovation, quality and sheer excellence on a national scale. Imagine a platform where industry leaders, influencers, and visionaries converge to celebrate the pinnacle of achievement in business.

We're rolling up our sleeves and diving headfirst into each award category. From the judges who meticulously study every submission to the sponsors who lend their support, from the finalists who embody excellence to the winners who stand triumphant—we'll hear from them all!

In this special episode, we delve into the UK Excellence Awards' category of Excellence in Innovation. We'll hear from visionary organizations that challenge norms and pioneer ground-breaking solutions.

Smiths, the esteemed sponsors of this category, will discuss with us the true essence of innovation, as we're joined by Sarah-Jane Bacchus and Tony Tielen, Director of the Smith Excellence System, who was also on the judging panel at the 2023 awards, to tell us all about heir story.

We'll also feature Martin Snewin from Currys, the 2023 award recipients, who will discuss their journey, the significance of the accolade, and how innovation drives their excellence.
