TORONTO — Mary Brown’s Chicken has been recognized as one of the 2023 Canada’s Best Managed Companies, winning the award for the fifth consecutive year. The brand holds the exclusive Gold Standard designation, given to companies for four to six consecutive years.
Canada’s Best Managed Companies program spotlights the top privately owned Canadian companies. The program involves a meticulous evaluation process that examines a company’s management skills and practices in areas such as adaptability, strategic planning, employee wellbeing and customer relationships.
Mary Brown’s was also chosen as the 2023 Canadian Franchise Association’s Outstanding Corporate Citizen Award recipient, based on its community involvement, including its sponsorship of BGC Canada (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs), providing $335,000 in relief support for Hurricane Fiona victims as well as hundreds of food drops to front-line workers during the pandemic.
