“The 2025 Best Managed winners exemplify the highest Canadian business standards of innovation, adaptability, and bold leadership,” said Derrick Dempster, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “Their relentless ambition, determined focus, and strategic agility have led them to remain competitive on the world stage, creating sustainable economic growth in an evolving global market.”

To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, governance and financial performance. Paul Keenan, President of HH Angus, commented on today’s award: “Being named a Best Managed company acknowledges the value of our careful management of our day-to-day operations, our thorough planning for both the short and long-term future of the firm, and our success in identifying growth opportunities, whether those are in sectors, services or geography. We’re very honoured and excited to once again be recognized by the Best Managed program.”
