Best Managed Companies is a quality award given to private Swedish companies based on criteria that assess strategic direction, operational capacity, corporate culture, and financial development. The program was founded by Deloitte in Canada in 1993 and has since been established in over 20 countries worldwide. Sweden's Best Managed Companies was launched in 2018 by Deloitte, and this year marks the seventh time the award is being presented. An independent jury has selected the 17 companies receiving the award this year.
"We are proud to present the award to these 17 companies, all of which demonstrate strong leadership, a clear strategic agenda, and well-functioning processes. Unlisted, private companies account for a large part of our workforce, our revenues, and a vibrant business community, and constitute an important building block in the Swedish economy. We are therefore especially pleased to present the award for best-managed companies to these entrepreneurs", says Lina Thörn continues.
The significant factor contributing to our success is our team - a diverse group of high performing experts and specialists who collaborate with our clients in all corners of the globe.
"In receiving this prestigious recognition for effective management, special credit within our team must go to our leaders in operations and specialist colleagues in the administration and business support - a huge well done to our Team Directors, Team Leaders and Administration specialists colleagues worldwide." - Richard Moore continues.
