Combilift recognised again as a Deloitte Best Managed Company

For the 12th consecutive time in the awards 16-year history, Combilift has been again recognised as a Best Managed Company by Deloitte, requalifying as Platinum winner for the 6th time.

Its management prowess was rewarded by Deloitte’s at an awards ceremony in Dublin on the 19 September.

The Deloitte Best Managed Company award acknowledges the achievements of management teams, and not just individuals. The accolade recognises overall business performance based on the criteria of Strategy, Capability and Innovation, Culture and Commitment as well as Governance and Financial Performance. Judges examine every company based on these four equally weighted pillars to select a winner.

The Best Managed Companies Programme originated in Canada in 1993, with Ireland’s programme being the second longest-running programme, introduced in 2008. In addition to Ireland and Canada, the programme is currently run in a total of 48 countries across four continents.

Founded in 1998 by Martin McVicar and Robert Moffett, Combilift has grown from a small team of 10 to a total staff of over 850 people, selling to 85 countries worldwide.

When receiving the award, Martin McVicar said; “It’s a great honour for us as a company to be acknowledged once again by a global brand such as Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies. The credibility of this global award enhances our brand to scale internationally”.
