Diageo has been named Britain’s Most Admired Company 2018 by Management Today. As well as winning the overall award, Diageo also won category awards: Quality of Management, the Beverage Sector and Corporate Governance.

"We’re delighted to be named Britain’s Most Admired Company 2018 by Management Today. This is the fourth time Diageo has won the accolade, since the ranking was first established in 1990," says Diageo.

Recognising the dedication of Diageo employees

Britain’s Most Admired Company (BMAC) is created by asking Britain’s largest companies and leading employers across 24 sectors to peer review each other using 12 criteria. The research is carried out by third part organisation. 

Diageo received the award at a ceremony in central London, where Ivan Menezes, Chief Executive and Mairead Nayager, Chief Human Resources Officer accepted it on behalf of the company.

"This award is recognition of the hard work and dedication of our 30,000 colleagues around the world who are all making Diageo a stronger, better performing company. We are focused on delivering consistent performance, while bringing our purpose to life at work and in our communities; by creating a positive role for alcohol in society and through our work on inclusion, diversity, skills and empowerment," says Diageo CEO Ivan Menezes.

"While we have a lot more to do, we’re proud to be building a company for the long-term and intend to fly the flag for great British exports on the global stage for decades to come."
