EDGE Innovate has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed companies in the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards programme, in association with Bank of Ireland. EDGE demonstrated superior business performance for the second year, which was recognised at a gala awards dinner in Dublin on 1 March 2019. This year, 12 new companies joined a network of 136 companies that were awarded the status of Best Managed. The Best Managed Companies network this year has total revenues of almost €11 billion, export sales of almost €3 billion and total employment of approximately 44,000 people.

From our base in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone; EDGE Innovate design, manufacture and export world leading material handling and recycling equipment. Our products can be seen working in over 50 different countries in a wide range of industries with the brand being supported via a global distributor network. With an extensive range consisting of mobile conveyors to slow speed shredders; EDGE Innovate’s product line supports both the material handling and recycling industries. No other Irish equipment manufacturer offers its customers and distribution partners such a diverse range of customisable equipment and potential to spread into a range of different industries. This has allowed EDGE Innovate to grow its presence throughout the world by attracting many equipment distributors.

Commenting on the award, Darragh Cullen, Managing Director of EDGE Innovate said: “The success EDGE Innovate has enjoyed in recent years is ultimately a reflection on our people. This award reinforces our commitment to our people and our customers, to continue to bring a high level of excellence to everything that we do; from the quality of our end products to the level of aftercare service we provide!”

Anya Cummins, Partner, Deloitte said: “Well done to all of the winning companies on their achievement. The Best Managed Companies process is a rigorous one, examining every facet of an organisation, and the bar is set high by our judging panel. As ever, the spread of companies, right around the country and across a number of industries, underlines the importance of Irish and Northern Irish companies to the economy and in the midst of economic uncertainty, technology disruption, an open competitive market and full employment, the continued strong performance of these businesses is admirable.  In the current environment, it is important for this contribution to be recognised, supported and showcased.”

Tom Hayes, Chief Executive, Bank of Ireland Corporate Banking said: “It’s a challenging time for businesses in general, with the operating environment consistently and rapidly changing, due to technological developments, new ways of doing things, and challenges on the macroeconomic horizon. The Best Managed Companies this year have demonstrated that they can optimise each area of their business while always operating with an acute awareness of their environment, recognising the opportunities of expansion into global markets, in addition to strategic alliances and partnerships. I look forward to their continued growth.”

This year’s judging panel members were Frank Ryan, Chair of the Judging Panel; Brendan Jennings, CEO, Deloitte Ireland; Tom Hayes, Chief Executive, Bank of Ireland Corporate Banking; Siobhan McAleer, Commercial Director at the IMI; Rose Hynes, Chairman of the Shannon Group Board and Origin Enterprises; and Feargal Mooney, former Chief Executive Officer of HostelWorld.
