Leading Australian alternative investment manager and hard-asset investment specialist, Merricks Capital, has been named one of nine leading private Australian companies recognised for their outstanding business performance in Deloitte Australia’s 2023 Best Managed Companies awards.
The Best Managed Companies program identifies and celebrates privately-owned and managed companies across Australia that set high standards of business performance and shines a light on the power of private businesses as innovators and major contributors to Australia’s economy.
The program’s independent judges challenged and evaluated the strengths of the applicants across four key pillars: strategy; culture and commitment; capabilities and innovation; and governance and financials.
David Hackett, Merricks Capital CEO said: “Merricks Capital is delighted to again be named among Australia’s best managed private companies.
“Receiving this award fills us with immense pride and gratitude. It’s a clear acknowledgment of the relentless efforts and remarkable skills of our team. This achievement is proof to us of the boundless possibilities when dedication to excellence and high performance meets innovation.
“We’re thrilled to have been recognised by Deloitte and the Best Managed Companies judges for our strategy, innovation, and capabilities.
Natalie Faull, Deloitte Private lead partner and Best Managed Companies Asia Pacific leader, said: “Our Best Managed Companies program is about celebrating the passion, dynamism, resilience and focus on sustainable growth that typify Australia’s best managed private businesses.
“Just like Merricks Capital, they are purpose-driven, disciplined organisations, industry leaders and significant employers. They are navigating the future with confidence, and setting a very high bar for what success can look like for private businesses in Australia.”
