In 2027, SC21 reaches a significant milestone: 21 years of helping UK industry improve quality, delivery performance and operational excellence.

Since its launch, SC21 has supported hundreds of organisations across every region of the United Kingdom, providing a proven framework for continuous improvement, collaboration and supply chain competitiveness, from SMEs taking their first steps on the journey to internationally recognised Gold award holders.

This special conference brings this community together along with industry leaders and improvement experts, as we reflect on SC21’s legacy whilst looking forward to the next chapter of strengthening UK supply chains and driving sustainable growth.
