Ooredoo has been awarded the 2016 People’s Choice Stevie Awards for Telecommunications, winning the popular vote for best telecoms company in an international competition.
The global public vote was conducted over the summer, with the highest number of votes deciding the “People’s Choice” winners across a range of industries. More than 33,000 votes were cast overall, with Ooredoo Qatar receiving the most votes for the telecommunications category.
Fatima Sultan al-Kuwari, director, Community and Public Relations at Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Receiving this award is a great honour for Ooredoo, as it was voted for by the people and because we triumphed against international competition. This award is confirmation that our dedication to our users, country, and services is working. Our thanks go out to everyone who voted.”
The People’s Choice awards will be presented to winners at The International Business Awards banquet on October 21 at a ceremony in Rome, Italy.
Ooredoo has also been nominated for a number of other significant awards at the event, including ‘Social Media Campaign of the Year’ for the Supernet campaign and ‘Telecommunications Company of the Year’.
This is the latest in a series of high-profile awards for Ooredoo, including the ‘Telecoms CEO of the Year’ awarded to chief executive officer Waleed Mohamed Ebrahim al-Sayed at the recently held CEO Middle East Awards.
The 2016 People’s Choice Stevie Awards for Favourite Companies is a highlight award in The International Business Awards, the world’s only international, all-encompassing business awards programme, which is now in its 13th year.
Al-Kuwari: Great honour for Ooredoo.
