The Deloitte Best Managed Company award acknowledges the achievements of management teams, and not just individuals.

Judges examine every company based on these four equally weighted pillars to select a winner.

Founded in 1998 by Martin McVicar and Robert Moffett, Combilift has grown from a small team of 10 to a total staff of over 850 people, selling to 85 countries worldwide. When receiving the award, Martin McVicar said; “It’s a great honor for us as a company to be acknowledged once again by a global brand such as Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies. The credibility of this global award enhances our brand to scale internationally”.
