Joe Johnson Equipment Is Gold Standard Among Canada’s Best Managed Companies

Joe Johnson Equipment (JJE), North America’s leading provider of infrastructure‐maintenance equipment representing the industry’s market‐leading brands, recently announced that it has re‐qualified as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies in 2014 and, for the first time, has been recognized as a Gold Standard winner.

For JJE, this is the fourth consecutive year to be honored with the designation. The award places the Ontario‐based family‐company alongside many of the most reputable, best‐in‐class businesses in various industries across all of Canada.

Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen’s School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums, the Canada’s Best Managed Companies Awards Program is renowned as the “stamp of excellence in business performance” in the country. The designation is earned through a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the caliber of a company’s employee culture, the company’s capabilities, level of customer service, implementation of its strategic plan and its financial performance.

“The judging criteria framework is based on research Deloitte conducted into organizations from around the world that have managed sustained growth,” says Peter E. Brown, national co‐leader of Canada’s Best   Managed Companies program and senior practice partner, Deloitte. “We learned that companies that are built          to last know where they want to go and have communicated a clear, customer‐centric strategy; they have the capacity to execute on that strategy and do; they have alignment and commitment throughout their organization to achieve objectives; and they outperform their peers. Best Managed companies meet all of these criteria.”

“Being recognized as ‘Canada’s Best Managed’ four years in a row and now a Gold Standard winner is a result of our strong commitment to deliver on our promises toward our hard‐working team of employees,  our valued customers and our best‐in‐class suppliers,” says JJE company president Joe Johnson.  “That we are included amongst ‘the best’ is owed in large part to the entire JJE team’s ongoing efforts to meet our strategic goals in support of sustainable growth and customer service; and I am proud to share this most‐prestigious award with everyone at JJE. And we still have lots to do!  As we continue to build a stronger business, we truly recognize and appreciate that the reciprocal relationships we have with our customers are an indispensable foundation for this growth.”
