Layfield was recognized for its industry-leading performance, its global business practices, and its sustained growth by receiving the 2026 Canada’s Best Managed Companies award.
Celebrating over 30 years, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies with revenues of $50 million or greater. To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities, and innovation, governance and financial performance.
“This honor reflects employee dedication, teamwork, and the values that define Layfield. Thank you for the role each and every one played in achieving this milestone—your efforts are not unnoticed,” Layfield’s leadership team said in a statement.
Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests.
The 2026 cohort of Best Managed Companies shares common themes, including fostering a people-centric culture, implementing a strategic company framework, investing in innovation and technological advancement, and maintaining financial resilience and strong corporate governance.
“For over 30 years, the Best Managed program recognizes companies who see challenges as checkpoints and obstacles as opportunities,” said Derrick Dempster, Partner, Deloitte Private and Canada’s Best Managed Co-Leader. “This year’s winners, including Layfield, have combined strategic expertise and a culture of innovation to not only drive impactful business outcomes, but serve their communities as well. They should be extremely proud of this designation and use it as a catalyst to continue the work they do every day.”
