NCC has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies, the leading business awards programme led by Deloitte. The company, which demonstrated superior business performance for an eleventh year, was recognised at an awards ceremony in the RDS on Thursday, 19 September.

This year, Deloitte recognised 129 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland. The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15 billion and provide employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.

A thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, such as a business’ environmental, social and governance standards, strategic planning and talent strategy.

Alan Looney, Managing Director, NCC, expressed his gratitude upon receiving the award: “We are deeply honoured to be recognised as a Best Managed Company for the eleventh time. This prestigious award is a testament to our unwavering commitment and dedication to our customers and partners across all the markets we serve. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our incredible team at NCC, whose passion and hard work consistently ensure an exceptional customer experience.”

Ross Looney, Chief Operating Officer, NCC, shared his appreciation and stated: “I am immensely proud to have joined in January as the third generation of the family in NCC. Being recognised as a Best Managed Company for the eleventh time illustrates the strong relationships we have with our customers and partners. It also highlights the expertise and unmatched professionalism of our team that drives our success and continued growth. I am very excited about what the future holds for NCC.”

Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: “The Irish economic growth story has been extraordinary, and we see this evidenced in the success of Irish indigenous businesses and the confidence shown by Best Managed Companies. Ensuring Ireland’s entrepreneurs and the companies they start get the support they need to grow and scale is crucial.”

A total of 116 companies requalified as a Best Managed Company. 19 of these achieved Gold Standard (four years as a BMC) and 12 achieved Platinum Standard (seven years as a BMC).
