We are honoured and excited to announce that Trico Homes has officially been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies (Platinum Member) for the 18th year in a row!

Established in 1993, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs that recognizes Canadian companies that have implemented world-class business practices and created value in innovative ways. Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, Salesforce, the TMX Group, and The Globe and Mail, the Best Managed award recognizes Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $50 million for sustained growth, financial performance, management abilities, and the efforts of the entire organization. Applicants are evaluated against four pillars to determine their qualification as a Best Managed Company. These four pillars include strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, and governance and financials.

Over the years, Trico Homes has developed an enduring story and culture based on a profound and clear vision: to deliver innovation and exceptional customer experience with each new home. With another year in the books, we renew our commitment to doing well by doing good, and always putting our community first. Here at Trico, we have an impressive history of achieving ambitious corporate, financial, and growth-oriented goals and notably advancing our commitment to creating value for our stakeholders and the community. The founders’ desire to create a legacy has driven Trico’s growth, philosophy, and culture.

Having received this award for 18 years in a row is an incredible achievement, and our thanks goes out to Deloitte for its exceptional recognition. As well, we’d like to take the time to thank our Trico family – everyone from our homeowners to our employees, our partners to our communities – for their continued support, passion, and dedication towards our goals. We have truly discovered the heart of homebuilding!

A 30-person selection committee, including prominent leaders such as Rona Ambrose, Elizabeth Cannon, Deborah Yedlin and Curtis Stange, chose the five women and one man as award recipients.
