TULLOCH has been recognized for overall business performance and growth with the prestigious 2023 Canada's Best Managed Companies award.
Now in its 30th year, Canada's Best Managed Companies remains one of the country's leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues of $50 million or greater for innovative world-class business practices. Hundreds of companies compete for this designation annually in an independent process that evaluates management abilities and practices.
This is TULLOCH’s first year winning the Best Managed award. To attain this designation, TULLOCH was evaluated on its leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, governance, and financial performance.
"I am thrilled that TULLOCH has been chosen to receive this prestigious award. Our goal at TULLOCH is to build a people-first culture while providing integrated planning, surveying, environmental and engineering solutions delivered by happy and motivated experts. That motto is embedded in how the company is managed at every level. We pride ourselves in providing meaningful jobs with strong career trajectories for all our employees," stated Mark Tulloch, CEO.
"We want to build an organization where everyone loves their job, and their leaders care for them. So that's why we exist as an organization. This remains our guiding principle and is the foundation of everything we do."
Canada's Best Managed Companies is one of the country's leading business awards programs recognizing innovative and world-class businesses. Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel comprised of representatives from sponsors.
The 2023 Best Managed Companies winners share common themes, such as having people-centric cultures, implementing effective ESG strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.
TULLOCH stood out from other candidates for its commitment and success in executing its strategy, leadership, and management performance, establishing a team culture, and emphasizing employee talent development.
TULLOCH was selected for making significant advancements in innovation, consulting, planning, and monitoring. Canada's Best Managed Companies offers this award to TULLOCH as an acknowledgment of its business and management success.
"It has become increasingly important for businesses to foster collaborative workplaces where employees are empowered to make valuable contributions to their organizations," said Lorrie King, National Co-Leader of the Canada's Best Managed Companies program and Partner, Deloitte Private.
"This year's Best Managed winners, including TULLOCH, embrace a people-first mentality, enabling employees to cultivate important capabilities and integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives into their core strategy. By prioritizing employee wellbeing and championing professional development, these companies are harnessing their talent pool's fullest potential and in a stronger position to attract the talents needed to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead."
"CIBC is proud to sponsor Canada's Best Managed Companies, a program that has been celebrating leading organizations that are working towards building a better future for the past thirty years," said Blair Cowan, Executive Vice-President, Head of Commercial Banking and Real Estate CIBC.
"Companies such as TULLOCH, which successfully deliver innovative solutions for longer-term growth and investments, are a testament to our country's high standards of excellence."

Know the Lay of the Land
TULLOCH's 400+ employees travel over 4 million km annually to job sites across Canada.
TULLOCH operates in a roughly 2,000-kilometre stretch between Ottawa and the Manitoba border and throughout Alberta. According to CEO Mark Tulloch, running a multifaceted engineering business that covers a huge swath of northern Ontario means this isn’t cubicle engineering—TULLOCH employees travel long distances between projects and are sometimes the only engineer for a significant distance.
“Besides being willing to travel, you must be a jack-of-all-trades in the north,” says Tulloch. “You can’t be a specialist. People will rely on you to do all sorts of things that might otherwise fall to multiple people.” That’s the reasoning behind one of TULLOCH’s core values: giving freedom and responsibility to every team member. Being a generalist means operating with considerable autonomy. This company thoroughly understands its geographic situation and leverages its workforce accordingly.
