We are proud to announce that for the 14th consecutive year, Paladin Security has been recognized as a Platinum Member of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.
To celebrate this achievement, we share a message from our CEO, Ashley Cooper, reflecting on its significance.
“In 2012, when we first won this award, it was a nothing short of a remarkable achievement. Our organization was a fraction of the size that we are today, but our formula for winning in the marketplace remains the same: to deliver the highest quality security programs in the industry through exceptionally trained security officers.
This award is not earned by one leader, one team, or one moment in time; it results from relentless focus, the unwavering dedication of our people, and the constant, meticulous care we bring to our work every day. This honour speaks to the culture we have built together at Paladin, and to the consistency with which our teams continue to deliver for our clients, support one another, and drive our business forward.
Our Best Managed Companies distinction can be attributed to three core reasons that have driven our success from day one.
-
- First, we set high standards for our performance as a team, emphasizing accountability, continuous improvement, and doing the right thing, even in the most demanding of circumstances.
-
- Second, we maintain an uncompromising focus on our mission which makes strong commitments to both our clients and our people. We have a serious job to do, and every decision is rooted in protecting people, property, and our communities. To fulfill this mission, we adapt and innovate to deliver the highest quality of security services.
-
- Third, we invest in our people, capabilities, and sustainable growth. Last year, we invested over $27M in training, reflecting our belief that high-quality results correspond to the growth and development of our people. Further, by reinvesting in technology, infrastructure, and innovation, we continue to strengthen our organization to be even more capable in the future.
Thank you to our entire Paladin team for making this achievement possible, and to our clients and partners for the trust you place in us. Together, we will continue striving for excellence and to set new benchmarks in our industry. This recognition inspires us to continuously improve, innovate, and lead with conviction for the years ahead.”
This year, Paladin Security celebrates its 50-year anniversary. As a homegrown Canadian company based in Burnaby, BC, Paladin now has operations coast-to-coast in Canada and the United States, with 100+ offices and 35,000 employees.
