Global Business Excellence Awards - GBEAs
The Judging Panel

The GBEAs take great care about the makeup of our independent judging panel. Unlike most other awards we don't adopt a one size fits all approach and expect a small group of judges to be able to assess a broad range of entries for which they may have little or no knowledge. Instead, we have built a large panel of experts from which we can select a bespoke judging team that has an in depth knowledge of the sector to which the individual entries relate.

The panel is regularly evolving as we invite senior representatives from GBEA winning organisations to join. This unique approach ensures that every entry is given the utmost consideration by people highly qualified to pass judgement.


The following experts are the latest additions to the GBEA judging panel:
