Cactus Restaurants Ltd. is honoured to announce that they have been named as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies for 2009 by the National Post. As Canada’s leading business awards program, 50 Best recognizes excellence in Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $10 million.
“We are very proud to have received this national honour for three consecutive years,” says President and Founder, Richard Jaffray. “This year this recognition was particularly rewarding as we endured one of our most challenging years as an organization. I am proud to say that 2009 marked our most profitable year, despite an extremely tough economic climate. It’s a true testament to my entire team’s commitment, and “can do attitude” that enabled us to further fortify the strength of our company. As a result of the challenges we faced this year, we are now a more efficient and streamlined organization. I strongly feel that we are now positioned to take our company to the next level.”
“Winner companies this year demonstrating the ability to overcome a diverse range of challenges and maintain growth despite the difficult market conditions are clearly a cut above,” said Daryl Johannesen, Partner, Deloitte, Private Company Services and Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies BC leader. “These companies are successful. They effectively managed their businesses in a time of economic uncertainty by focusing in their customers and their employees.”
Since 1993, hundreds of companies have competed for this prestigious national accolade which measures more than financial performance by reviewing overall business performance and sustained growth and evaluating the efforts of the entire organization and its core values. As a “Requalified member”, Cactus Club has retained its 50 Best Managed status for three consecutive years.
