SINGAPORE. F&B concept Curry Times and regional confectionery retailer Choc Spot were crowned as Top Outstanding Brands at the recent 2017 CEO Asia Conference & Awards, organised by thought leadership platform Influential Brands.
The fifth CEO Asia Conference & Awards took place on 7 November at the Capitol Theatre in Singapore and recognised some of Asia’s captains of industry across 50 industries, including property, banks, airlines, automobile, F&B, healthcare, retail, technology, FMCG and communication.
More than 400 influential Asian C-suite executives from over 100 leading companies across the region attended the event. This year’s theme was ‘The Future of Business in Asia’.
Choc Spot, operated by leading confectionery travel retailer Focus Network Agencies, has 13 stores across Singapore.
Old Chang Kee-operated Curry Times, a favourite for home-style curries, received its accolade in the Local Cuisine category in view of its growth at both Changi Airport and downtown Singapore.
The Outstanding Brands awards segment identifies, features and celebrates growing brands that sparkle and have shown resilience and growth in changing times.
Singapore Productivity Centre is the official productivity partner of Outstanding Brands awards. Other partners include knowledge partner Deloitte Singapore, education partner SIM and official car Rolls – Royce Motor Cars.
Deloitte Southeast Asia and Singapore CEO Philip Yuen said: “We are pleased to be a knowledge partner at this year’s CEO Asia Conference to share our insights on business transformation. The role of the CEO exists at the intersection of the external environment and the internal organisation. In today’s disruptive marketplace, it is not possible for CEOs to shield their organisations from ambiguity.”
