About Canada’s Best Managed Companies
Canada’s Best Managed Companies is Canada’s leading business awards program, recognizing excellence in private Canadian-owned companies. This recognition sets Houle apart from its competitors and enhances its sales and marketing efforts across different platforms. Additionally, as a privately held corporation, Houle has benefitted from the program’s annual qualification process. This yearly audit serves as a third-party evaluation that seeks to develop a detailed picture of the company’s financial health, growth prospects, and market performance. By undergoing this process, Houle commits significant time and resources every year to ensure its qualification and maintain its membership status.
Houle’s ability to consistently maintain membership status and now achieve the Platinum Club status is a testament to the company’s commitment to strong management, growth, and success. Employees, partners, and clients alike can be confident in the company’s ability to continue being well-managed, growing, and succeeding.
