DYXnet Group CEO Wing-Dar Ker said: "We are delighted to receive this award for the second time since 2016,especially as my team worked so hard to meet such demanding judging criteria for the Gold Award."

He added: "As a responsible corporation,we understand how small steps made by us could represent major leaps of progress for the community in which we do business. And we take great pleasure in helping to make the Internet more accessible and effective for citizens with special needs."
