It is the only awards scheme on the island of Ireland that considers a business&#8217; performance from every perspective. Entrants to the programme compete for this\u00a0designation in a rigorous process that evaluates the calibre of their management abilities and practices.<br \/>\nGold standard best managed companies that receive the award for the fourth year in a row go through a Phase I and Phase II best managed companies awards programme\u00a0application process, and after that can aim for platinum standard.<br \/>\nNine companies qualified for the first time in the 2020 Best Managed Companies Awards programme.

Through the Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, we are working with applicant companies to help them focus on strategies that will drive\u00a0sustainable growth for them into the future. We are celebrating 130 companies that are not afraid to be challenged on their strategies &#8211; in fact want to be challenged &#8211; and\u00a0have risen to the challenge.&#8221;<br \/>\nNikki Canavan, senior director, Bank of Ireland Corporate Banking said: &#8220;The Best Managed Companies programme is a unique opportunity for organisations to not only\u00a0examine and improve upon their overall performance but importantly to celebrate the hard work that their teams put in all year round.<br \/>\n&#8220;The programme has supported numerous indigenous Irish companies to re-evaluate and strengthen their business strategies and their growth and development plans.
