A Thorold company has been praised for its business practices and entrepreneurship.

Book Depot made the list of Canada's Best Managed Companies, a private initiative sponsored by the business sector, receiving recognition for its 'overall business performance and sustained growth.'

Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel comprised of representatives from program sponsors in addition to special guest judges. 

"2021 Best Managed companies share commonalities that include (but are not limited to) enabling a remote workforce, making employee health a top priority, acting with an increased sense of purpose and social responsibility and a significantly heightened focus on cash flow," said a statement from the campaign.

“We are honored to receive the prestigious Canada’s Best Managed Companies award during a year that is truly unlike any other. We are proud to join a select group of Canadian companies who have inspired us with their leadership in areas of innovation, strategy, and culture,” said Wilf Wikkerink, CEO of Book Depot in a statement. 

“We express our deepest thanks to the entire Book Depot family, our valued clients, and our many partners who have placed their trust in us for so many years.”

Book Depot has been in business for over 35 years.
