Wrekin Housing Trust

The Wrekin Housing Trust was celebrating today after being shortlisted in a prestigious business awards scheme.

The Telford-based trust is in the running for honours in the 2010 to 2011 Midlands Excellence Awards.

Wrekin has a shot at an award after preparing a written submission and undergoing a rigorous evaluation by a team of independent Midlands Excellence assessors.

Ian Nield, chief executive of Midlands Excellence, said: “We were extremely impressed by the standard of this year’s entries and they prove that even in a difficult economic climate, successful organisations are continuing to strive for excellence.

“Everyone who has reached this stage should be extremely proud of their achievement and I congratulate them wholeheartedly.”

The awards programme, now in its 14th year, is based on the European Foundation for Quality Management Excellence Model, a framework for boosting and sustaining all-round business performance.

This year’s winners will be announced at a gala ceremony at the ICC in Birmingham on February 3.
