For Samsic to win a Brilliance Award for our cultural transformation is recognition of the hard work carried out across the company. Winning among global industry leaders reassures us we’re on the right path, driving innovation and inclusivity.
For me and the whole team at ServiceMaster Clean AAA, winning multiple Brilliance Awards in 2025 means a great deal. Being awarded CEO of the Year is very rewarding, and the judges’ recognition is a huge honour.
