Award is our way of recognising the businesses that share our ideals and offer products and services that improve their customers’ lives. Good businesses can truly be consumer champions. By treating customers fairly, businesses will be rewarded for their efforts with more confident consumers helping to drive growth in the economy.”

The Which? Awards ceremony took place on the 17 June 2015 in central London and was co-hosted by TV presenter Steph McGovern and Which?
