Best Managed Companies Shortlisted

The 47 companies that will compete for the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards 2012 were recently announced.

These companies will now be coached as part of  Phase 2 of the competition before the judging panel, chaired by Myles Lee will decide on the 20 Best Managed. Seventeen companies who have received the award each year since it began are also eligible to compete for the Gold Standard Designation, if they have maintained the Best Managed standard over the four years.
