The Hong Kong Jockey Club has been honoured with the Hall of Fame Gold Award in this year's “Most Favourable Hong Kong Brands” awards, the sixth year in a row it has earned gold award recognition.  This consumer-driven honour acknowledges the Club's achievements in providing world-class horse racing, sporting and betting entertainment, as well as making charitable contributions for the betterment of Hong Kong for more than a century.

Expressing his delight with the award, Chief Executive Officer Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges reiterated the Club’s long-time commitment to providing customers with innovative, value-for-money experiences, noting that it applied the same top-quality standards to its community contributions.

“We are committed to be a customer-centric organisation and connecting our businesses and charitable operations more closely with the community we serve,” he emphasised.

Organised by China Enterprise and Credibility Association (Overseas) Ltd, the award is aimed at boosting Hong Kong tourism by showing appreciation to outstanding Hong Kong brands.  Each year Mainland consumers and visitors to Hong Kong between December and February are invited to cast votes for their favourite Hong Kong brands.  The Club has consistently gained strong public support, winning the Gold Award in the Integrated Entertainment Services category for five consecutive years from 2005 to 2009.

Founded in 1884, The Hong Kong Jockey Club has become one of Hong Kong's best known and respected organisations, providing the public with world-class sporting entertainment as well as being the city's major non-Government community benefactor, now donating more than HK$1 billion a year to charitable and community projects.  It has been a part of Hong Kong through good times and bad, sharing the city's growth and development with its people, and is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for future generations.
