All three organisations were rigorously assessed by Quality Scotland against the European Foundation of Quality Management (EFQM) excellence model which measures business performance.

The awards demonstrate Cube, Loretto Care and West Lothian Housing Partnership are focused on improvement and that all three organisations are building on their strengths to achieve higher levels of excellence.
