Toronto, ON, Canada (MAY 9, 2023) – RIghtsleeve, Canada’s largest corporate branded merchandise distributor, is proud to announce that it has been named a 2023 Platinum Club winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.

Canada’s Best Managed Companies is Canada’s leading business awards program, recognizing excellence in private Canadian-owned companies. Hundreds of entrepreneurial companies undergo a rigorous application process each year, but only the best are awarded this prestigious designation. Platinum Club winners like Rightsleeve are businesses that have maintained their Best Managed status for seven years or more.

“We are exceptionally proud of maintaining our Platinum Club designation again this year,” said Rightsleeve CEO, Mitch Freed. “Our team is committed to building on our long-standing reputation of excellence in customer care and innovation, and this recognition signifies that we are continuing to head in the right direction.”

To achieve Best Managed status, companies undergo a rigorous application process. They are judged on core business criteria across four pillars - Strategy, Capabilities and Innovation, Culture and Commitment, Governance and Financials - by an external panel of judges.

“This award celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit, determination and innovation of the private business community in Canada, and we are proud to be named alongside the other exceptional winners,” said Freed. “We join them in working to build a better, more equitable, and more sustainable future for all.”
