Toronto, ON — Pitbull Energy Services was recognized for its industry-leading performance, its global business practices, and its sustained growth by receiving the prestigious 2025 Canada’s Best Managed Companies award.
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.
“To be recognized as a Best Managed Company is a true honour, and it reinforces what we already know internally—that we are building something exceptional” says Sami Hayek, Founder & CEO. “From our people-first culture to our bold investments in safety, training, expanded services and Indigenous relations, this recognition is a testament to the grit, innovation, and heart that every Pitbull employee brings to work every single day.”
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.
The 2025 cohort of Best Managed Companies shares common themes, including fostering a people-centric culture, implementing a strategic company framework, investing in innovation and technological advancement, and maintaining financial resilience and strong corporate governance.
Together, these practices strengthen the Canadian economy by promoting sustainable growth, enhancing competitiveness, and cultivating a thriving business ecosystem.
“Over the past year, companies such as Pitbull Energy Services have continually adapted and successfully responded to challenges, seized new opportunities, and leveraged industry leading competencies to maximize their investments and drive sustainable growth,” said Derrick Dempster, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “These winners have set the standard of excellence for Canada’s business ecosystem by demonstrating a strong commitment to strategic transformation, talent and workforce development, and technological and business adaptability.”
