McDougall Energy Receives Canada’s Best Managed Companies Honour for Eighth Consecutive Year
Sault Ste. Marie Based McDougall Energy Maintains Platinum Member Status
Sault Ste. Marie, ON – March 7, 2019 – McDougall Energy is proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the eighth consecutive year. The company first received this distinguished honour in 2011, and in 2018 it received Platinum Member status for requalifying seven consecutive years.
Established in 1993, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is the country’s leading business awards program, recognizing excellence in Canadian owned and managed companies. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the caliber of their management abilities and practices.
Businesses today need to be thinking long-term to succeed, and this year’s Best Managed winners are truly going the distance in investing in the future,” said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “These companies can celebrate their accomplishments today, and should be excited for tomorrow.”
Now in its third generation of family ownership, McDougall Energy has grown to become one of the largest integrated distributors of Esso and Mobil products in Canada. The 70-year-old energy company operates in various regions across Canada serving business, residential and retail automotive customers. McDougall Energy continues to expand its business through acquisitions and organic growth initiatives with strategic partners across Canada.
“It’s a great honour to be recognized, once again, as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. We’ve seen continued growth over the past year, which I attribute to our strong management team and the dedication and commitment of all employees”, commented Darren McDougall, President, McDougall Energy. “This award is a clear sign we are on the right path and serves as increased motivation as we continuously strive to maintain a high level of business excellence in serving our customers, while investing in the communities where we live and work.
Winners of the 2019 Canada’s Best Managed Companies Award will be honoured in Toronto on April 16, 2019 with a Symposium featuring presentations from some of Canada’s Business Leaders, and on April 17, 2019 at the Annual Awards Gala Dinner and Ceremony.
