McGreevy Engineering, a Northern Ireland-based firm specialising in precision machined components with internal engineering capabilities, has recently celebrated its achievement of the prestigious SC21 Silver Award, showcasing the company’s commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement.

The Supply Chain for the 21st Century (SC21) programme is delivered in partnership with the UK trade association, ADS Group, and was established in order to recognise companies that demonstrate excellence in supply chain management. 

The programme was launched in 2006, and since then, has helped to improve how companies from the Aerospace, Defence, Security, and Space industries manage their supply chains by providing a framework outlining what best practice looks like. Through robust assessment and certification, SC21 helps to ensure that companies operating in these sectors remain competitive and improve the performance of their supply chains, while also demonstrating their capabilities to customers. In order to meet the requirements of SC21 accreditation, a company must demonstrate excellence in delivery, quality, and sustainable improvement for the future. 

SC21 accreditation helps to assure customers that they are working with suppliers that have a proven commitment to quality and delivering results on time. With recent events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit disrupting supply chains, particularly in Northern Ireland, the importance of supply chain management has been highlighted. 

By maintaining strong supply chains, Northern Irish companies such as McGreevy Engineering remain uniquely equipped to partner with companies from Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland to deliver on complex briefs within specified timeframes. With increased attention on the potential and capabilities that exist in the region, being awarded the Silver SC21 Award ensures McGreevy Engineering maintains a competitive edge. 

Managing Director, Aaron McGreevy, reiterated the team’s delight at achieving the prestigious award, saying, “McGreevy Engineering has enjoyed a successful 2023 and receiving the SC21 Silver Award is a fantastic way to conclude the year. We have continually demonstrated our ongoing commitment to maintaining quality supply chain management, and as the Northern Irish economy continues to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is vital to the manufacturing and engineering sectors that our focus remains on delivering quality products for our customers and staying open and aware to what can be improved in our process.”

McGreevy Engineering is also AS9100 and ISO 9001 certified, and continues to take an innovative approach to ensuring its products and services exceed customer expectations. By meeting the requirements of SC21 accreditation, McGreevy Engineering is confident it can deliver for its customers on time and to the highest standard.
