Zuidnatie awarded Best Managed Company Gold label for the fifth consecutive time

Antwerp, 31/5/2024 – Zuidnatie was reconfirmed as a Gold laureate in the Best Managed Companies programme last night at the gala event in Brussels. The Best Managed Companies programme tests participants each year against a globally tested framework. It recognises private companies that translate a clear strategy, strong competences and commitment to the business into solid financial results.

Best Managed Companies is jointly organised by Deloitte, Econopolis and KU Leuven to recognise success, strong leadership and entrepreneurial spirit of impactful Belgian companies. The independent jury has once again recognised Zuidnatie for its outstanding business presentations and may carry the quality label again for the fifth year in a row. Throughout the process, companies are guided by a Best Managed Companies coach from Deloitte Private who challenged Zuidnatie to reflect on its strategy, operational and financial processes.

“It is an honour that we have once again received the Gold label and remain a member of this exclusive community of high-performing Belgian private companies. Our recognition as Best Managed Company, five years in a row, proves that we have strong assets to guide us through difficult times, and face the challenges of tomorrow.” Stéphanie Feys, Managing Director Zuidnatie

Zuidnatie’s executive committee received the recognition during a ceremony at the Deloitte Gateway building (see picture). As every year, Zuidnatie celebrated the win with all its employees. This year they chose ‘golden’ ‘smoutebollen’.

Bruno Peelaers, Partner Deloitte Private and Best Managed Companies Programme Leader: “All the laureates continue to impress us with their strong and sustainable growth, even in the midst of changing market conditions. They show great flexibility, adaptability, and always stay one step ahead of their competitors. Moreover, they have proven that their management teams can steer the organisation through challenging times while focusing on the development and well-being of their employees. These companies foster innovation, talent and diversity, making them true leaders in their sector.”
