"This accolade truly demonstrates the dedication and commitment of the entire team that has participated in the success of Gallagher Estate since its opening," he said. Key performance areas at which the magazine looked when choosing its winners for the best managed and top performing companies, were empowerment, corporate governance, financials and operational efficiency and innovation.
