“Best Managed companies embrace innovation, seize opportunities and inspire talent. They really set the bar high,” said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.

Whether focusing on the core or building new, it is truly amazing what our team can accomplish when given the ability to push our comfort zone and to create innovative and disruptive strategies for growth.”
Established in 1993, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian-owned and managed companies that have implemented world-class business practices and created value in innovative ways. Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel on overall business performance, including leadership, strategy, core competencies, cross-functional collaboration throughout organization, and talent.
“For 116 years we’ve been guided by our core values of teamwork & collaboration, reliability, integrity, initiative and continuous improvement. These values have enabled us to be patient and focus on the long-term during economic churn while keeping us relevant to our best employees, best customers and best supplier partners. Achieving Platinum status with Canada’s Best Managed is a testament to our core values and demonstrates our commitment to being the Electrical Distributor of Choice!” said Tim Horsman, CEO and President of E.B.
