Become An Assessor


Each year, the Northern Ireland Quality Awards Process needs to create teams of high calibre assessors capable of evaluating applicants for the Northern Ireland Quality Award, Mark of Excellence and STEPS. As applications come from a wide range of organisations from all parts of Northern Ireland, sector coverage and balance are important considerations in the selection of assessors. Assessors need to possess a high level of expertise and experience in business improvement, together with a balanced approach and a reputation for integrity.


Contributing as an assessor represents a significant development opportunity, both from an individual and organisational perspective. In this video Conor Jordan, Business Development Manager at Norman Emerson & Sons talks about the benefits of having been an Assessor.
