We are excited to announce that Tarpon has requalified as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies for 2008. The Best Managed list was released across Canada this morning in a special edition of The National Post. As a requalified member, Tarpon will hold the Best Managed designation for another year. This is a tremendous achievement and is something that we can all be extremely proud to share.

The Best Managed program is administered by four well-known sponsors: Deloitte & Touche, CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post, and Queen’s School of Business. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the caliber of their management abilities and practices. The Best Managed designation symbolizes Canadian corporate success: companies focused on their core vision, creating stakeholder value and excelling in the global economy. We, at Tarpon, are honoured to accept this award for the second consecutive year.

We would like to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication. Without your commitment, we would not be recognized as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies. Congratulations everyone.
