Ambitious companies across all sectors are being called upon to enter this year’s Best Managed Companies Awards (BMC) programme.
Now in its sixteenth year, the programme celebrates the hard work, innovation and success of Irish businesses and their management teams. Ireland’s Best Managed Companies network currently comprises 130 companies from a variety of sectors, across the island, with a combined turnover of €17 billion, providing over 53,000 jobs across a range of sectors – from retail and hospitality to manufacturing and construction.
The application process provides participating companies with the opportunity to analyse their entire business, including performance, management practices and goals, which is a vital exercise for any company.
Deloitte is pleased to welcome AIB as a new sponsor of the awards programme.
