Bangkok--11 May--Hill & Knowlton
DHL, the world’s leading express and logistics company has recently been voted as one of Thailand’s as well as Asia’s most trusted brands in the ‘Airfreight/Courier Service’ category at the 11th annual Trusted Brands Awards 2009, organized by Reader’s Digest, the world’s largest selling monthly magazine. In recognition of its market-leading position, the company has received a Gold Award in Asia, in addition to a Gold Award in the same category in Thailand.
DHL has also garnered five other prestigious awards as Best Express Operator Award, Best Road Haulier Asia, Best Contract Logistics Provider, Best 3PL and Best Lead Logistics Provider at the Asian Freight & Supply Chain Awards (AFSCA) 2009, hosted by Cargonews Asia, one of Asia’s leading freight industry publications.
This is not the first time that DHL has received multiple acclaim. The company has scored four Platinum awards in Asia and six in Thailand since 2004 in the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand Awards and has won the Best Express Operator Award at the Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards for the 22nd time.
These prestigious accolades are testament to the strength of DHL’s brand among consumers who see the company as one which is trustworthy, credible, innovative, delivering high quality and value, and understanding their needs.
“Established in the Asia Pacific for over 40 years, DHL has established a strong presence in 42 countries and territories in the region. The Reader’s Digest Trust Brand Awards and Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards are an affirmation of the trust that consumers place in DHL. We take it upon ourselves to continually live up to the expectations by delivering the best quality service, at competitive prices, and constantly innovating to stay ahead of the curve,” said Dan McHugh, Chief Executive Officer, DHL Express Asia Pacific.
These awards represent that DHL registers top-of-mind awareness among consumers. This year Reader’s Digest asked 8,000 survey respondents to nominate their most trusted brand across various categories and industries, while Cargonews Asia polled more than 12,500 readers to select the best service providers in over 40 industry-specific categories.
Chananyarak Phetcharat, Managing Director, DHL Express Thailand and Indochina, said, “With DHL’s global and local strong presence, consumers do not only recognize us for our service excellence but also notice us through other powerful mediums. For example, DHL has been the Formula One (F1) Global Partner and Official Logistics Partner since 2004.
It is also the Official Express and Logistics provider of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Asian Champions League in Asia. In Thailand, DHL has been supporting Bangkok Lions Rugby Football Club activities for six consecutive years.”
