After
opening up their books, operations and management to careful scrutiny,
50 of the country’s leading private organizations have the distinction
of being recognized as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies for
2009. These companies, spanning every region across the country and an
array of industries, have demonstrated business excellence through a
rigorous and independent process that evaluates the calibre of their
management abilities and practices.
 “This is a
very prestigious recognition, which really confirms that Standard is in
the Best-of-Class amongst a wide range of Canadian businesses,” said
David Nathaniel, president and CEO of Standard Products Inc. (IN PHOTO) “We
believed this to be the case internally, and so we are thrilled by the
result and what it means going forward!”
“Collective
vision, shared pride and operational excellence are the key
drivers that sustain and propel us forward,” said Tim Horsman, executive
vice-president of E.B. Horsman & Son, one of 2009’s winners. “The
culture at E.B. Horsman creates a passionate workforce that continually
strives to improve customer service, profitability, and employee
satisfaction. Our team is dedicated to success, are the very best at
what they do and I am simply proud to work with them as we create our
future!”
Last
year, these 50 Best Managed Companies generated $9.8 billion in combined
revenue, had an average revenue increase of 23% and employed over
39,000 Canadians.
“In
tougher economic times, great management shines,” said John Hughes,
Deloitte partner, private company services, and national leader of
Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies Program. “One of the most impressive
aspects of this year’s award recipients is the commitment by management
teams and employees to work in concert to develop innovative ways of
tackling their company’s strategic issues in the face of a reset world.”
“As I’ve
mentioned in the past, this award is not earned without the complete
dedication and involvement of all staff within our organization. From
the reps on the floor of our showrooms, to those working the phones in
inside sales—from the drivers out on the job site, to the friendly faces
at our Express counters—they have all had a hand in being recognized
once again,” said Ross Robinson, president of B.A. Robinson Co. Ltd.,
one of the companies that requalified its 50 Best status.
Here,
then, are the 2009 winners from our electrical industry.
Congratulations!
