LotusWorks has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed companies in the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards programme, in association with Bank of Ireland.
For the second year, the company demonstrated superior business performance, which was recognised at a gala awards dinner in Dublin on 1 March 2019.
This year, 12 new companies joined a network of 136 companies awarded Best Managed status. This year, the Best Managed Companies network has total revenues of almost €11 billion, export sales of almost €3 billion, and total employment of approximately 44,000 people.
Commenting on the award, Financial Director, LotusWorks Gerard Sproule, said: “LotusWorks are proud to requalify as a Deloitte Best Managed Company. The award is a testament to the expertise of our management team, who are the drivers behind the outstanding business progress the company has experienced in the past four years. The company is seeing steady growth both in Ireland and North America and we’re forecasting progressive growth over the next 5 years. Without our teams and continued support from our long-term customers, this wouldn’t be possible; I’d like to extend a special word of thanks to each and everyone who plays an integral part in building the LotusWorks success story.”
Last year, the recognition came after Deloitte completed an in-depth two-phase assessment of LotusWorks’ business strategy. The company was assessed on its ability to develop strategy, demonstrate corporate strengths, excel in its marketplace, retain top talent, and manage business risks.
Anya Cummins, Partner, Deloitte said: “Well done to all of the winning companies on their achievement. The Best Managed Companies process is rigorous, examining every facet of an organisation, and the bar is set high by our judging panel. As ever, the spread of companies, right around the country and across a number of industries, underlines the importance of Irish and Northern Irish companies to the economy and in the midst of economic uncertainty, technology disruption, an open competitive market and full employment, the continued strong performance of these businesses is admirable. In the current environment, it is important for this contribution to be recognised, supported and showcased.”
Founded in 1989, the company now employs almost 500 staff between Ireland and its North American operations. Servicing the Biopharma, Medical Device, Datacentre and Semiconductor industry, LotusWorks is no stranger to big name clients and works with some of the world’s best known manufacturers.
The Deloitte Best Managed Companies programme, in association with Bank of Ireland, promotes and recognises excellence in Irish/Northern Irish owned and managed companies.
