The best brands and services across 27 categories were honoured at the annual AsiaOne’s People’s Choice Awards 2015 held at the M Hotel’s Banquet Suite on April 30.

Over 250,000 votes were cast during the three month voting period which saw AsiaOne readers voting for 251 nominated brands across the 27 categories. Two new categories, Best Online Retailer and Best Brunch Restaurant, were introduced this year to reflect the changes in consumer trends.

AsiaOne editor Mr. Adrian Tay said: “The choices made available to consumers are endless. Our readers have done the legwork for consumers by nominating and voting for the best in choice brands and services, saving consumers’ time and making it easier for them to narrow their search.”

During the awards ceremony, DBS and Singapore Airlines were also inducted into the Hall of Fame, an award given out to brands that have been voted the best in their category for five years in a row. Past Hall of Famers include Carousel and Singapore Institute of Management (SIM).

Mr. Alan Lim, Area Vice-President, Singapore of Singapore Airlines said: “We’re both proud and humbled at the unwavering support of our customers throughout the years. These awards are a confirmation of our commitment to service excellence, and we will continue to pursue that.”

AsiaOne also announced its partnership with social service organization Students Care Service (SCS) at the awards ceremony. The tie-up, forged as part of AsiaOne’s corporate social responsibility efforts in the year of its 20^th anniversary, will see both entities working together to boost publicity for SCS.

Ms Rae Mok Rui Wen, SCS Manager, Community Partnership, said: "It is our hope that through the sharing of their stories they would be able to affirm themselves, inspire others and provide encouragement for SCS in the work that we do. We hope that these stories will increase the public's awareness of the emotional and psychological needs of children and youth, and provide support for them and the work of children and youth organisations like SCS."
