It’s reinforcing that no matter what industry you are in, the path to earning success relies on trust.”

Companies competed for a place in the overall Top 10 Trusted Brands for 2016 with survey-newcomer, Weathertex Australia placing first, Dulux Australia placing second and Bluescope Lysaght placing third.
“The results this year confirm that being socially and environmentally responsible is closely linked to trust. People want to make a purchase decisions that benefit the wider community – that can be seen in this year’s winner, Weathertex Australia whose offering ticks all of these boxes. This is a clear message that Australian’s are looking for quality products and service, but the brands also offering a way for them to make ‘responsible’ purchasing choices will certainly have the competitive edge” said Wilson.
