TORONTO, ON – Red Sun Farms has been named as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies in 2015, achieving the coveted Gold Standard level of awards.
Jim DiMenna, Red Sun’s President and CEO, shared a few thoughts with us on the achievement, and remarked that he is extremely proud and humbled to be recognized for this prestigious award once again.
“One of the key drivers for this company is that we’re always trying to work together the best we can,” DiMenna tells us. “Not only does this award speak volumes about our intensely-driven team, but it’s also a great opportunity for us to stay top-of-mind twelve months of the year. We’re proud to be one of the recipients of the 50 Best Managed Companies award, and we look forward to continue doing what we do best – delivering great products to our customers and keeping the company financially secure and solid for the many years to come.”
The Best Managed award, sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen’s School of Business, and MacKay CEO Forums, recognizes Canadian owned and managed companies with revenues over $10 million for sustained growth, financial performance, management practices, and the efforts of the entire organization, according to a press release.
“I would like to recognize the entire efforts of Red Sun Farms. It takes a dedicated effort from an entire team to focus on a core vision, create stakeholder value and excel in the global economy to achieve this level of success,” said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.
Another sign of its success as a company is the forward-looking, team-oriented culture that is so prevalent at Red Sun. In 2014, the greenhouse grower was also recognized as one of Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures.
“We are always looking to re-invent ourselves every year, and this year is no exception,” DiMenna continued.
The 2015 winners of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies award will be honored at the annual Canada’s Best Managed Companies gala in Toronto.
