Judges' comments

Benjamin Clifford, DISCO Corporation 

As DISCO Corporation responded to increased demand for their product in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Benjamin established new processes and systems to maintain and improve the quality of microchip production. He identified a barrier caused by a lack of English-speaking auditors in his company and responded by himself training to become an auditor. Benjamin has since rolled out a multilingual programme to increase the auditing capacity across the global offices. 

Pedro Medel Reyes, Perforadora México of Grupo México

Pedro has worked with Perforadora Mexico for nine years, with the past two having been spent as a Quality Manager within the organisation.  His role has included leading on risk-based internal audits which he uses to make recommendations for improvement to senior management. In streamlining the audit process, there has been an increase in the number of audits being performed, which has allowed new risks to be identified and the control processes to be improved.
