Viatel Technology Group has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies 2024. Viatel demonstrated superior business performance for the fourteenth year and was recognised as a Platinum company at an awards ceremony in the RDS on Thursday 19 September.

This year, Deloitte recognised 129 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland. The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15 billion and provide employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.

A thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, such as a business’ environmental, social and governance standards, strategic planning and talent strategy.

Commenting on the award, Paul Rellis, CEO, Viatel Technology Group said:

I’m incredibly proud that we have been part of the Deloitte Best Managed Company Awards for 14 years, and once again, we are a proud winner. Thank you very much to Deloitte, we look forward to many years of success ahead.   

Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: “The Irish economic growth story has been extraordinary, and we see this evidenced in the success of Irish indigenous businesses and the confidence shown by Best Managed Companies. Ensuring Ireland’s entrepreneurs and the companies they start get the support they need to grow and scale is crucial.”

Cathy Bryce, Managing Director, AIB Capital Markets, said: “AIB is proud to be the new lead sponsors of Ireland’s Best Managed companies. One of AIB’s core ambitions is to support Irish companies and their management teams in sustainable growth and development, something which is fully aligned with the goals of the BMC programme.”

A total of 116 companies requalified as a Best Managed Company. 19 of these achieved Gold Standard (four years as a BMC) and 12 achieved Platinum Standard (seven years as a BMC). Fexco won the Family Business Award in association with the Family Business Network.

Viatel Technology Group would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our team, customers and partners who help us to continue to grow.
