John Sisk & Son (Sisk) has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies. Sisk was recognised for business performance for the second year.
This year, Deloitte recognised 115 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 25 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland. The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €22 billion and provide employment to over 62,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.
A thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, considering each business’ strategic planning, governance standards, financial performance, in addition to each organisation’s culture, talent strategy and how they are innovating year on year.
Bernie McGarrity, Chief People Officer at Sisk, said: “We are honoured to be recognised once again as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies. This accolade reflects the unwavering commitment and dedication of our people, as well as our continued focus on upholding the core values of Care, Integrity, and Excellence.
He continued: “Promoting Diversity and Inclusion is a key part of our People & Culture strategic priority for the organisation. It is imperative that our senior leaders act as stewards of our culture and values, ensuring that Sisk continues to foster an inclusive, respectful, and equitable working environment for all.”
Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: “Congratulations to all winning companies on their achievement. Irish indigenous businesses continue to impress, demonstrating unwavering resilience and commitment to excellence in an everchanging economic landscape. The Ireland’s Best Managed Companies programme recognises the significant contribution that these businesses make to our economy, our communities and our nation as a whole. As a vital part of our business ecosystem, it is essential that they are supported to grow and scale into the future, and the Best Managed programme hopes to support them as they do.
