“It is truly an honor to be recognized again as a US Best
Managed Company,” said Troy Taylor, chairman and chief executive
officer of Coke Florida. “Our success formula is rooted in
investing continuously in our operations, striving to be our
customers’ best partner, focusing on providing a great working
environment for our associates, and supporting the communities
where we operate.”
Private companies selected for the US Best Managed recognition
are evaluated on four areas, strategy, execution, culture, and
governance and financial performance. “Coke Florida is extremely
proud of the culture it has developed in the short nine years it
has been in business. Positive feedback from the company’s recent
engagement survey was highlighted in the application,” David Cross,
senior vice president, human resources and administration for Coke
Florida shared.
“One of our stated goals is to be an employer of choice across
the state of Florida. We know that to achieve this, consistency
matters. Being recognized over the last three years is a proof
point that reinforces our commitment to our associates, our people
leaders, and the culture we strive to create. It’s achievements
like being recognized as a US Best Managed Company that show we are
on our way to being a best-in-class company.” Cross added, “It
takes great leaders, committed associates, and the right
investments in their capabilities and development to truly sustain
this type of performance and be recognized three times in our nine
years of existence.”
