Walters Group Retains Platinum Club Status as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies


Toronto, Ontario, Canada – May 9, 2023 — Walters Group is a 2023 winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, retaining its Platinum Club status for the third year and its Best Managed designation for eight consecutive years.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies. To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities, innovation, governance, and financial performance.

“Being named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies and maintaining our Platinum Club status is a testament to our incredible team and the partnerships we have built with our clients,” shared Peter Kranendonk, Chief Executive Officer of Walters Group. “We are extremely honoured and grateful to our team and partners for all we have accomplished.”

Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing innovative and world‑class businesses. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent evaluation process. Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests.

The 2023 cohort of Best Managed companies shares common themes such as having a people-centric culture, targeting effective ESG strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.

“To become a Best Managed Platinum Club winner is a huge accomplishment,” says Lorrie King, partner at Deloitte Private and co-leader for Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “Companies such as Walters Group who attain this high standard of excellence demonstrate consistent resilience, versatility, and strategic acuity. Year after year, they thrive in a competitive, rapidly changing market. This year’s winners should take pride in attaining this prestigious award in recognition of their significant and ongoing contributions to Canada’s business landscape.”
