Windsor Motors has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies, the leading business awards programme led by Deloitte. The company, which demonstrated superior business performance for the fourth year in a row, was recognised with a Gold Standard Award during the awards ceremony in the RDS on Thursday, 19 September.
This year, Deloitte recognised 129 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland. The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15 billion and provide employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.
A thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, such as a business’ environmental, social and governance standards, strategic planning and talent strategy.
Commenting on the award, Peter Nicholson, Managing Director of Windsor Motors, said “It’s an incredible achievement for Windsor Motors to have been awarded a Gold Standard at Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme. Windsor Motors celebrates it’s 60th Birthday this year, and this award provides powerful motivation for the entire company, helping inspire us to continue to grow and improve our business practices as we look towards the future.
Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: “The Irish economic growth story has been extraordinary, and we see this evidenced in the success of Irish indigenous businesses and the confidence shown by Best Managed Companies. Ensuring Ireland’s entrepreneurs and the companies they start get the support they need to grow and scale is crucial.”
Cathy Bryce, Managing Director, AIB Capital Markets, said: “AIB is proud to be the new lead sponsor of Ireland’s Best Managed companies. One of AIB’s core ambitions is to support Irish companies and their management teams in sustainable growth and development, something which is fully aligned with the goals of the BMC programme.”
