Data Electronics Recapture the Deloitte Best Managed Award


8th March 2010, Data Electronics, one of Ireland’s leading providers of IT outsourcing and managed services, has been named a winner of the Deloitte Best Managed Companies award following ceremony and symposium at the Burlington Hotel, Dublin which was attended by the Taoiseach, Mr Brian Cowen T.D.

Data Electronics was one of 22 indigenous Irish companies to re-qualify for the award which is the first of its kind in Ireland to recognise the remarkable achievements and sustained growth and success of a business with revenues over €5 million.  The Deloitte Best Managed Awards Programme, in association with Bank of Scotland (Ireland), recognises indigenous Irish companies across the island of Ireland which are operating at the highest levels of business performance.

The independent judging panel, chaired by Denis Brosnan, reviewed a broad range of criteria including strategy, capability, commitment, financials and growth potential across all key functions of the business. Given the turbulent economic environment, the judging panel recognised that business and management success can no longer simply be measured by increased sales, profit or turnover.  For that reason, a holistic view of the companies, their performance in relation to their peers, and the industries that they are operating in was considered in order to determine management success.

Speaking at the announcement Maurice Mortell, CEO, Data Electronics, said, “We are delighted to have been selected once again for this award.  It recognizes not only our strong financial results, but the focus we place on corporate excellence in every area of the business.  Excellence is something we strive for every day and in everything we do.  This is a real testament to the hard work and dedication of all of the team at Data Electronics.”
