If you need a reason to enter this year’s
Innovation & Design Excellence Awards (iDEAs),
here’s the view of one of last year’s winners.
“The assessment team’s visit was invaluable and made
us question what we were doing as a business,” said
Steve Lane, commercial manager of Triteq.
iDEA and its sister scheme, the Best Factory Awards (BFA), are the
only engineering awards to assess winners based on a
judging visit – rather than written entries
alone.
It’s no secret that the entry process is
rigorous – but we recognise that people may have limited
time to put together an application. For this reason,
entry forms are now available online. They can also be
completed in two parts.
Traditionalists are still
welcome to make a complete application using the printed
form (available from Maggie Bridge at
m.bridge@cranfield.ac.uk). Entrants have until the end
of May to complete their entries.
This month’s
Innovation Conference (24 April in Daventry) includes a
special ‘Meet the Judges’ session, in which you can ask
specific questions on the structure of the awards and
the entry process. The programme includes several of
last year’s winners, including Steve Lane. You can book
