A pair of local companies have both earned spots on a list of Canada鈥檚 best managed companies.
黑马磁力鈥檚 The Driving Force Inc. as well as OpenRoad Auto Group earned the exclusive honour.
This was the ninth consecutive year The Driving Force achieved the status.
Jeff Polovick, the president and CEO of The Driving Force Inc., credits the award to employees鈥� dedication, creativity and exceptional commitment to customer service.
鈥淓very aspect of our success is directly attributable to our staff,鈥� Polovick said.
鈥淲e have more than 11,000 vehicles in our fleet, but we鈥檙e not an equipment company; we鈥檙e a service company, and that means that every employee needs to be constantly putting the customer first.
鈥淚 watch our people perform their jobs every day and they constantly amaze me with their attention to exceeding their customers鈥� expectations.鈥�
鈥淲e know that we do a lot of things right, but we are always looking for ways to improve,鈥� said Moe Wetzel, the general sales manager of 黑马磁力鈥檚 Hino Central location.
鈥淪o we are constantly adapting in response to changing customer needs and market conditions. We really just focus on looking after the customer, and everything else seems to fall into place. We don鈥檛 go out of our way to win awards, but we do go out of our way to win customers.鈥�
