The award was presented to McDonalds at the Customer Service Week awards dinner in Melbourne.
CEO of ICSP and Customer Service Week convenor, Tricia Olsen said that as the survey participants were customer service specialists from a wide range of industries, the peer-based nominations had some kudos.

During ICSP’s International Customer Service Week, businesses and government organisations alike were urged to recognise the importance of customer service by boosting morale, motivating staff, rewarding frontline representatives, thanking other departments for their support, and letting customers know about their commitment to customer satisfaction.
