Manderley Turf Products is once again recognized for excellence in business performance as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies
Toronto, ON – March 9, 2017 – Manderley Turf Products was honoured with the prestigious Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation. The 2017 Best Managed program recognizes the best-in-class of Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $15 million demonstrating strategy, capability and commitment to achieve sustainable growth. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Manderley has earned this distinction, having achieved Gold Standard status since 2014.
“Best Managed companies deserve recognition for their entrepreneurial approach to excelling in an uncertain economic climate. They truly bring out the best in Canadian business leadership,” said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.
Established in 1993, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian-owned and managed companies for innovative, world-class business practices. Winners are an important engine of economic growth for being adaptable and sustainable in a global market. Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel made up of judges from Deloitte, CIBC, Canadian Business, Smith School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums. Best Managed companies share commonalities that include an emphasis on culture and people, innovation, sustained performance and strong financial results.
“It’s a great feeling to have been recognized alongside Canada’s best companies for the sixth straight year,” says Wayne Moloughney, president, Manderley Turf Products. “Manderley has been focused on improving our operations by increasing efficiency through innovation and the use of new technologies and this award reaffirms that we are on the right track.”
