Maritime Travel wins Canada’s
Best Managed Companies’ Platinum Club award - despite
Covid-19 challenges
HALIFAX, NS – Maritime Travel has been recognized
nationally for excellence in business performance for 2022. The Halifax-based travel company has been named
a Platinum Club winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. The winners are
amongst the best-in-class of Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues
over $50 million, demonstrating leadership in strategy, capabilities and
innovation, culture and commitment, and financials to achieve sustainable
growth.
“This year’s award is especially meaningful as
we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw a virtual shutdown of the
worldwide travel industry for two years. Now, more than ever, we owe our
success in achieving this award to the dedication of our branch teams across
the country. Our knowledgeable, caring staff on the front lines, together with
state-of-the-art technology and operations, have been instrumental,” said Gary
Gaudry, President of Maritime Travel.
A Platinum Club
winner must maintain Best Managed status for a minimum of six consecutive
years. Maritime Travel has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed
Platinum Club for 17 consecutive years. Prior to that, it had been named one of
Canada’s Best Managed companies since 1998.
Canada’s Best
Managed Companies remains one of the country’s leading business awards programs. Every year, hundreds of companies compete for
this designation. Established in 1993, it is sponsored by Deloitte Private,
CIBC, The Globe and Mail, Salesforce, and TMX Group. Applicants are
evaluated by an independent judging panel on how they address various business
challenges, including new technologies, globalization, brand management,
leadership, leveraging and developing core competencies, designing information
systems, and hiring the right talent to facilitate growth.
2022 winners will be
honoured at galas across the country. For further information, visit www.bestmanagedcompanies.ca.
