13 new businesses have been awarded the Ireland’s Best Managed Companies (BMC) accolade at the 16th annual awards programme, with 129 indigenous companies recognised, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland.
In total, 10 Cork companies were awarded Ireland’s Best Managed Companies accolade. Amongst the winning companies this year was Clonakilty Food Co., which achieved gold standard status having won for the fourth consecutive year. H&MV Engineering Limited (Limerick) and Keltech (Waterford) were also winners in this prestigious category.
The 13 newly qualified companies include Mowlam Healthcare (Limerick).
A thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, such as a business’ environmental, social and governance standards, strategic planning and talent strategy.
The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15 billion and provide employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.
A total of 116 companies requalified as a Best Managed Company. 19 of these achieved Gold Standard (four years as a BMC) and 12 achieved Platinum Standard (seven years as a BMC). Fexco won the Family Business Award.
