Modern Beauty named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies
CALGARY, June 13 - Modern Beauty was recognized for its industry-leading performance, its global business practices, and its sustained growth by receiving the Gold Standard winner in 2024. Celebrating over 30 years, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies. To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities, and innovation, governance and financial performance.
Modern is the largest privately-owned company in the Canadian beauty industry. Our family-owned business of 38 years has built a team with an integral network of 79% women, while also committing to the principles of inclusion and diversity.
At Modern, we pride ourselves on being a leader in the industry by offering the most recognized and innovative product lines, while focusing on the importance of education to inspire our clients and grow their businesses. We are constantly finding new ways to incorporate the latest technology into our work environment with a focus on providing a seamless experience for our loyal clients. Our business strategy at Modern Beauty is to embrace the ever-changing market and look for ways to stay ahead. By doing so, we are able to adapt to these changes, which is fundamental to our business’s success.
Modern is committed to giving back to our community. In 2013, the “Beauty of Giving'' was founded in honour of Byron Thompson, a beloved member of the Modern Family who passed away from ALS. Through this program, we partner with one of our brands to feature a product where 100% of the proceeds go to a chosen charity. To date, we have raised over $750,000 for many Canadian charities, including ALS Canada, Breakfast Club of Canada, and the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing innovative and world‑class businesses. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent evaluation process. Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests.
Exploring new avenues for the advancement of tomorrow, this year’s Best Managed winners displayed courage, resourcefulness, and creativity,” said Derrick Dempster, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies Program. “We’re extremely proud to highlight the impressive achievements of companies such as Modern Beauty in a rapidly evolving business world. Their exceptional accomplishments leave you feeling inspired, celebrated, and connected."
The 2024 cohort of Best Managed companies share common themes such as having a people-centric culture and accelerating operational digitization.
