RLG International

Anchorage, AK – March 9, 2008 – Sincere, honest, grounded and authentic are just a few of the words used in the latest Alaska Tanker Company newsletter (Northern Lights) to describe RLG employees after their voyage on the Alaskan Legend a couple months ago.

The article went on to say. . ."RLG offered that rare opportunity to have on board in our own work environment, coaching, skill building and real time feedback while we are dealing with the real time issues. They bridge the gap from when we leave ELT conferences to actual application, which in some cases could be a couple of months. They are the real deal!"

Five B.C. firms in very different businesses found out Wednesday that they have one thing in common -- they are among the 50 Best Managed Companies in Canada.

The B.C. winners named by Deloitte, the consulting firm, are:

- Coast Capital Savings of Surrey, Canada's second largest credit union and the first full-service financial institution in Canada to introduce free chequing. It is also the best corporate citizen in the financial services industry, according to Imagine Canada, and one of Canada's 50 best employers, according to Hewitt Associates.

- Vancouver's ITC Group of Companies -- the name stands for Integrity, Trust and Commitment -- which specializes in building residential highrises in Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Current projects include the Woodward's redevelopment project in downtown Vancouver.

- Thrifty Foods of Saanichton, the largest private-sector employer on Vancouver Island, now in its 30th year with 19 stores and planning to open its third Lower Mainland store in Port Moody next year. Thrifty pioneered organic produce in mainstream supermarkets.

- Vancouver's RLG International, a performance improvement specialist with 130 employees currently working with companies in Azerbaijan, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Trinidad, Russia, the U.S.A and the U.K. Project managers and their families relocate to client sites to better help companies develop their staff.

- Richmond's uniPHARM Wholesale Drugs Ltd., a pharmaceutical wholesaler owned by 112 independent shareholder pharmacists, including five in Alberta where it started to expand about two years ago. Launched in 1980 as an alternative to drug wholesalers catering to chain stores, the firm now has 51 employees and sales in excess of $147 million.

Deloitte says this year's 50 winners achieved some of the strongest financial results since the program's inception 14 years ago with consolidated sales of more than $8.3 billion in 2006.

The B.C. winners accounted for an impressive 19 per cent of total sales "but it's not just about cash generation for them," said Daryl Johannesen, regional leader for the Best Managed program with Deloitte in Vancouver.

"The real driving force behind the success of these exceptional companies is a collective sense of accomplishment in achieving a vision and defining their own destiny."

Coast Capital is a sixth-time winner of the award which Lloyd Craig, president and CEO, attributes to the 340,000-member credit union's disciplined approach to business and the fact that its 1,760 employees never forget they are operating in an industry that is over-supplied and highly competitive.

"That forces us to be innovative because only if we put a better value proposition on the street can we fulfil our mission, which is providing simple financial help," Craig said in an interview.

In addition to free chequing, Coast Capital has introduced "haggle-free" deposits and mortgages which offer the credit union's best rates to everybody, extended hours in 25 per cent of its 49 branches, and a new "aperio" branch design which is intended to create an open, inviting and friendly environment in which to conduct business.

In addition to Deloitte, the Best Managed program is sponsored by CIBC, the National Post, and Queen's School of Business.
