Five businesses won their very first Roy Morgan Research Customer Satisfaction Award including Clothing Store Jeanswest,
Hardware Store Mitre 10, Home Internet Provider Orcon, and Car Manufacturer Volkswagen. The final Customer Satisfaction
newbie, Gas Provider OnGas, outdid 2012-2014 champ Nova Energy – which instead scooped Electricity Provider of the Year
for the first time!
Air New Zealand scored a rare double: the airline not only continued its streak as the top Domestic airline, but finally
pipped Emirates to claim International airline too.
Take Note last won back in 2012, but returned to claim the 2015 crown. However, other businesses made sure not to rest
on last year’s laurels: Coffee Shop Robert Harris, Furniture/Electrical Store Noel Leeming, Sports Store Kathmandu and
Supermarket New World each built on their victories in 2014 to make it two-in-a-row.
Five businesses completed the hat-trick in their categories: Financial Institution TSB Bank, Quick Service Restaurant
BurgerFuel, Department Store Ballantynes, Home Phone Provider Trustpower, and Shoe Store Hannahs (which now has four
Awards overall).
Three businesses were awarded a fifth consecutive award: Kiwibank for Major Bank, 2degrees for Mobile Service Provider,
and Apple for Mobile Handset.
Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan Research, says:
“Now in its fifth year, the Roy Morgan Research Customer Satisfaction Awards have proven to be the definitive annual
record of the local and international businesses most consistently satisfying their New Zealand customers.
“Customer Satisfaction is one of our most closely watched measures. Most of our clients follow not just their own
results but also those of their competitors very carefully. In this age of social media, the immediacy of communication
means you cannot get a better marketing message than a recommendation from a satisfied customer.
“We are thrilled that so many of last year’s winners proudly displayed the achievement in advertising and company
announcements. We look forward to seeing how the 2015 winners, especially first-time champs, let the world know about
their achievement.”
