Two Scottish firms winners in Deloitte’s best managed companies programme

Deloitte has unveiled the latest winners of its best managed companies programme with two Scottish businesses recognised.

The initiative shines a spotlight on private businesses from across the UK and the performance that drives them.

Business and IP services firm Murgitroyd, headquartered in Glasgow, and global people development company Insights, based in Dundee, are among the 19 winners from across the UK. Ten companies are new to the list this year, while nine have retained their place, including both Scottish firms.

Now in its second year in the UK, the programme is already established in more than 45 geographies across the world and recognises top private companies for their organisational success, as well as wider contributions to their industry and the economy.

Paul Hazelton, a partner at Deloitte, said: “For both Scottish companies that have retained their place in our list it is a reflection on their commitment to high standards of governance, management and entrepreneurial spirit. They continue to display best-in-class services in their respective fields.

“In this role, I see the breadth of talent and resilience that we have in the Scottish business community. Private businesses such as those recognised this year, continue to play a vital role in our economy. They demonstrate innovation, idea generation, resilience and ambition, and help to drive growth and prosperity,” he added.

Murgitroyd is a global intellectual property firm that advises clients across life sciences, engineering and technology. Insights delivers people development services to organisations around the world, with its work rooted in psychometric tools and learning experiences.

Fiona Logan, chief executive of Insights, said: “Being recognised as one of Deloitte’s best managed companies for the second-year running is a proud moment for us. It celebrates and validates the strength of our strategy, our culture and our commitment to our people.

“More importantly, it reinforces our ambition for the future, continuing to scale our impact globally while staying true to our purpose: to build a world where people truly understand themselves and others, and are inspired to make a positive difference in everything they do.”
