Community developer and new home builder Mattamy Homes has joined the ranks of Canada’s 2020 Best Managed Companies.

It’s the first time Mattamy has earned a spot in the annual poll conducted by Deloitte Private, a division of Deloitte. It’s a selection that the president of Mattamy Homes Alberta calls an amazing accomplish­ment.

“This award speaks to the kind of culture, business operations and success that our founder, Peter Gilgan, started 41 years ago,” says Don Barrineau. “It reflects our collective passion for the business, our company and our customers. As such, the designatio­n of Best Managed Company belongs to everyone at Mattamy Homes.”

Mattamy is North America’s largest privately-owned home builder, operating in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Calgary and Airdrie. Mattamy joins Calgary’s Rockwood Custom Homes as first time winners.

Alberta-based Jayman Built maintained its ranking as a Platinum winner, a designatio­n reserved for Canadian companies that have upheld their place on the Best Managed Companies list for more than seven years running.

“I want to personally thank our incredible Jayman team, customers, suppliers and trade partners who work incredibly hard every day to build the best homes in Alberta and who will unite to conquer the immense challenges ahead for Albertans,” says president and COO Dave Desormeaux, adding that Jayman’s customers are at the heart of everything they do.

“I believe our homeowners want to partner with this type of organizati­on when they make as significan­t a purchase as new home where they will raise their families.”

Jayman builds in 12 communitie­s in Edmonton, Sherwood Park and St. Albert and 17 communitie­s in Calgary, Cochrane and Airdrie. Jayman joins Calgary builders Morrison Homes and Trico Homes as Platinum level companies.

Each award winner represents the best-in-class of companies owned and managed by Canadians that demonstrat­e strategy, capability and commitment to achieving sustainabl­e growth.
