The 22 new entrants were awarded their Best Managed status following a detailed qualification and judging process. This took into consideration the complete performance of the business, looking beyond the finances at criteria such as operational excellence, strategy and human resource processes.

Commenting, Deloitte Partner, Anya Cummins said: ‘2018 marks the 10th year of the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards programme, which has grown from 25 companies in year 1 to 137 in year 10. The programme represents companies from different industries with many industry-specific challenges but also common characteristics such as adaptability, innovation and ambition.

‘ Their stories are the stories of Irish business this past decade, and they are stories of resilience, recovery and confidence. We’re particularly proud to recognise those who have been in the programme since it began in Ireland, and whose performance across all key functions of their business has excelled.’
