Oakville, ON March 8, 2018 /insPRESS/ – STRONE is excited to announce that it has requalified to maintain its status as a Best Managed Gold Standard company in Canada. This is the sixth straight year that the company has been a winner of the Best Managed Companies program. Management and employees have demonstrated their commitment to the principles of the Best Managed program since 2012.

“It’s a great honour and a privilege to be recognized for the sixth straight year as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies,” explains Steve Blinco, Co-CEO Support Services at STRONE. “We sincerely thank our employees, their families, our partners, and suppliers for their support in helping STRONE maintain this honoured recognition.”

Now in its 25th year, 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. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the calibre of their management abilities and practices.

“It’s a testament to the quality of workmanship, commitment to service, and a great staff,” states Neil Blinco, Co-CEO Marketing and Sales. “We have a core group of people that has been with us for decades. It is with their dedication that we can maintain this level of service, recognition, and success.”

Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel comprised of representatives from program sponsors in addition to special guest judges. 2018 Best Managed companies share commonalities that include a clear strategy and vision, investment in capability and commitment to talent.

“Best Managed winners should be extremely proud of their accomplishments,” said Lorrie King, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “The marketplace is changing rapidly and this incredible class of companies’ commitment and entrepreneurial leadership help drive business success that is critical for the health of our economy.”

2018 winners of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies award will be honoured at the annual Canada’s Best Managed Companies gala in Toronto on April 11, 2018. On the same date, the Best Managed symposium will address leading-edge business issues that are key to the success of today’s business leaders.
