SHERWOOD PARK, AB, March 11, 2015 /CNW/ - TerraPro Group Inc., a private family-owned Canadian business, was named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies in 2014 for excellence in business performance. Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen's School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums, the Best Managed award 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.
"Today's market place is not just about financial performance; it is also about the investment in the people. TerraPro Group Inc. invests in their team to build up a strong and stable company. Best Managed companies are home grown companies making smart investments to achieve above average returns," says Peter Brown, National Co-Leader of Canada's Best Managed Companies Program and Senior Practice Partner, Deloitte.
TerraPro was selected as a winner because of its focus on creating innovative, win-win solutions for the company and its employees, customers and investors. This has been demonstrated through TerraPro's development of a unique corporate culture which strives to treat each employee, contractor and subcontractor as a member of its extended family resulting in a keen focus on protecting the health and safety of these individuals so that incidents are prevented and people make it home safely every night. It has also been demonstrated through TerraPro's total-company commitment to developing lasting customer relationships through excellent service standards, industry leading field operations and efficiency and reliable and consistent pricing. Further, it has been demonstrated through the development of innovative investment products that have facilitated the company's meteoric growth while driving attractive returns for its investor base. Finally, and in-line with the Company's core value of respect for every person, it has been demonstrated through the Company's objective of operating with the highest level of integrity, character and ethics in all of its interactions.
