The excellence award is a set of standards which blueprints Rolls-Royce’s ongoing commitment to delivering excellence to stakeholders and wider partnerships.

Martin Wooler MSc, Component Manager Trent XWB – Compressor Components, at Rolls-Royce plc, said: “As a team we had to accomplish some really complex tasks and it has been great to see the JJC team and individuals develop and deliver great quality and delivery milestones over this period.

“The team (RR & JJC) commitment, collaboration, teamworking and rapid problem solving has been great and has led to the fantastic results we are now achieving.”

Mark Cooper, Managing Director JJ Churchill said: “We have worked hard to deliver change within our business over the past three years.

“Our partnership with Rolls-Royce and their acknowledgement of our dedication to best practice, efficiency and innovation is reflected in this award.”

The scheme covers key partners and suppliers, demonstrating shared goals on communication, principles of good business practice, benchmarking transparency, integrity and honesty across all aspects of the business.
