Best Oilfield Equipment Manufacturer 2025 In the face of shifting global energy demands and the race for resource efficiency, Southeast Asia’s manufacturing powerhouses are sharpening their edge. Precision, adaptability, and innovation are not optional – they are tools for sustained success. Stepping into the spotlight is Schoeller-Bleckmann Vietnam Co. Ltd. (SBVN), a high precision manufacturer for large complex products processing high-alloy nonmagnetic high corrosion resistance steels. We found out more about the company’s endeavours from General Director – Mr. Paul William Mclaughlan, as SBVN is named in the South East Asia Business Awards 2025. SchoellerBleckmann Vietnam was founded in 2008, born to offer an Asia Pacific-based manufacturing solution to global oilfield customers. The company moved into its custom-built premises in September 2009, based in the Province of Binh Duong, Vietnam, north of Ho Chi Minh City. During late 2013, SBVN undertook its first major expansion, increasing its production area to nearly 100,000ft2. A further expansion, completed in June 2025, brought the total production space to more than 120,000ft2. This journey has been significant for SBVN, allowing the company to offer globally competitive pricing strategically located in the Asia Pacific region, while providing the assurances and experience expected of the global SBO AG. Today, the company stands as a leading high precision manufacturer for large complex products made from high-alloy, nonmagnetic, corrosion resistant steels. These include components for measurement while drilling, logging while drilling, and rotary steerable tools, made possible by the availability of special nonmagnetic steel provided by the SBO Group. SBO has been leading in highprecision manufacturing for decades, globally renowned for producing and processing high-strength, nonmagnetic steel grades for the oilfield and various industries. Southeast Asia is a booming region for manufacturing, with many foreign companies now migrating to the country as foreign direct investment increases with each quarter. Many entities now see Vietnam as the ideal cost-effective location for manufacturing, while becoming less dependent on various other global suppliers. Reflecting on these developments, Paul told us: “The challenges from this are developing and hiring highly technical skilled people for our industry, but there is a huge opportunity for the future. Vietnam will be the next global leader, for sure.” Well-equipped to lead the charge in industry advancement, SBVN shares the fundamental principles of all within the SBO Group, comprising partnership; integrity; innovation and continuous improvement; diversity, trust, and empowerment; entrepreneurial accountability; sustainability; and value creation. These values guide SBVN’s daily cooperation with each other, and its interactions with business partners, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. They make it clear to each member of the team what SBVN stands for and are anchored to the company’s policies. The manufacturing market is saturated, chock-full with emerging entities striving to succeed. SBVN shines in this market for its unrivalled offering – a one-stop solution manufactures to the client’s requirement. With its Austriabased intercompany SBPT serving as its raw material supplier, SBVN is continually in possession of stock material. Unlike other competitors, who must order their raw materials and wait up to six months for delivery, SBVN can remain on the ground – ready to react to the various needs and demands of its valued clientele, a position Jun25188 that stands as a great source of pride for the team. “We are all proud of each other and what we can deliver; we are all focused on the journey to get better, learn from our mistakes, and become stronger every year,” Paul told us. “The last six years have been an unbelievable journey for SBVN, the biggest challenge and constraints being the impact of COVID-19 and the industry downturn in 2020. This tested our incredible staff – remaining fully operational, with over 60% of our valued employees living on-site for over 100 days is nothing short of remarkable and shows the true testament, resilience, and commitment of our employees. Nothing was going to stop our valued employees from serving our valued customers.” Paul cites SBVN’s corporate culture as the very heartbeat of the organisation, reflecting its values, beliefs, and collective behaviours. At the core of this culture is a commitment to inclusivity, respect, and collaboration. Within this culture, transparency and open communication are fundamental, empowering each employee to share ideas, express concerns, and contribute towards shared goals. Continuous learning and development are encouraged, with opportunities for growth and advancement at every level. The company fosters an environment wherein every voice is heard, and diversity is celebrated, driven by the recognition that unique perspectives are the catalyst for innovation and success. Alongside this, SBVN understands that happy and fulfilled employees are equally essential to the company’s success. Through various programmes, flexible work arrangements, and support systems, SBVN has created an environment that enables employees to thrive – both personally and professionally. What’s more, SBVN is also sure to promote strong team dynamics and giving back to the community, utilising various team-building activities to strengthen bonds across employees, promoting collaboration, trust, and communication. From fun outings to teambuilding exercises to engaging workshops, SBVN creates ample opportunities for its team to connect on personal and professional levels. “Above all, our corporate culture is characterised by a sense of camaraderie and teamwork,” said Paul. “We believe in supporting each other, lifting one another up, and celebrating our collective achievements. Whether it’s through teambuilding activities, social events, or simply lending a hand, we cultivate strong relationships and a sense of belonging among our employees. Our culture is not just what we do; it’s who we are, guiding our actions and shaping our identity as a company.” “Our culture is not just what we do; it’s who we are, guiding our actions and shaping our identity as a company.” With such a cohesive internal culture, the team at SBVN is more than prepared to meet any
APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025| 5 challenges head-on and maintains a close eye on the market for emerging developments. The most significant rising trends of the past year have included the rising demand for faster order turnaround, the emergence of enhanced tooling designs, and increasingly complex technical specifications. With streamlined access to raw materials via SBPT, SBVN slashed delivery lead times and gained the competitive edge. The company doubled down on machinery and bespoke tooling innovation, while investing in its team – attracting seasoned talent and nurturing in-house expertise. This multipronged approach transformed challenge into opportunity for SBVN, positioning the company at the forefront of the global oilfield landscape and also ensuring it is ready to expand into new markets beyond O&G. Over the years, SBVN’s vision and foundation has remained solid due to its various success factors, comprising its valued employees; effective communications; ability to adapt to change; financial stability; quality; technology; high complex performance products; on-time delivery; and compliance, to name a few. 2024 was a recordbreaking year for the company, as SBVN elected to focus more on product quality as its customers’ expectations continue to climb. As SBVN charts its course for the future, the company’s vision extends beyond mere expansion to encompass sustainable growth, innovation, and enduring success. Its expansion roadmap outlines strategic initiatives aimed at diversifying offerings, penetrating new markets, and strengthening SBVN’s global presence. Through meticulous planning and thoughtful execution, SBVN aims to position itself as a leader in the oilfield equipment manufacturing industry, while remaining agile and responsive to the changing dynamics of the energy market. Following the success of 2024, SBVN entered into 2025 with a new drive. The company successfully completed its Phase 3 expansion at the end of April 2025, followed by a Grand Opening Ceremony held in June. This expansion significantly enhances SBVN’s production capabilities and allows the team to introduce additional product lines to its offerings. Despite ongoing economic challenges impacting many regions and industries, SBVN remains confident in its ability to demonstrate strong resilience and is well-positioned to seize new opportunities when the market rebounds. Central to SBVN’s future direction is the implementation of a robust succession plan, one that ensures continuity and leadership excellence for generations to come. SBVN recognises the importance of nurturing talent, cultivating leadership skills, and empowering individuals to realise their true potential. By identifying and developing the future leaders from within its ranks, SBVN is sure to lay the foundation for a seamless transition and sustained organisational success. “As we embark on this journey, we remain guided by our core values, our integrity, and our commitment to excellence,” Paul shared. “Our future direction is not merely about expansion or succession, but about building a strong legacy of innovation, resilience, and enduring impact. With a clear vision, strong leadership, and a dedicated team, we are poised to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, driving our company towards a future of continued growth and prosperity.” Contact: Paul William Mclaughlan Company: Schoeller-Bleckmann Vietnam Co.

APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 6 AtrustedpartnerinfertilitywellnessinSingapore,BabiesBlissspecialisesinholisticservicesdesigned to support and empower women across every stage of the fertility journey. Whether it is massaging prenatal moms between week 20 and week 36, offering post-natal recuperation for post-delivery moms, or even delivering post-miscarriage recuperation for women who have unfortunately miscarried, Babies Bliss delivers its natural, evidence-backed services with compassion. Angelia Ng, the leading fertility specialist behind the company, caught up with us for more. Fertility journeys can be emotional, unpredictable, and exciting all at once, necessitating an environment where couples hoping to conceive are both heard and supported. During this vulnerable time, Babies Bliss works with the utmost honesty and integrity, ensuring the women it sees feel safe and empowered. Recognising that trust is essential in achieving this, the company builds its relationships based around respect and empathy. Welcoming couples at various stages of their fertility journeys, Babies Bliss works with those preparing for IVF or egg freezing to those nearing full-term pregnancy and beyond. Whilst its services may be holistic, there is a particularly strong focus on fertility massages, which are designed to help women facing infertility by increasing their chances of a successful conception. This is especially useful for women undergoing fertility treatment, as they often place a tremendous amount of stress on themselves, causing hormonal imbalances. Thus, the abdominal and back massages performed by Angelia and co. become a natural solution to not only boost fertility, but to strengthen the immune system and improve a person’s overall wellbeing. This diversity represents Babies Bliss’ aim to help women reconnect with their bodies and move forwards with confidence. “We recognise that fertility is not just a medical issue. It’s deeply connected to emotional, mental, and lifestyle factors. That’s why we integrate mind-body practices and stress support into our services.” As for what sets Babies Bliss apart within the fertility massage niche, one of the most important things it does is to stimulate improved circulation to the uterus, cervix, and the rest of the abdominal/pelvic bowl. This improves egg health, as it allows the body to deliver a supply of fresh, oxygenated, and nutrient-rich blood to the area. Angelia and her team’s expertise also sees them break down scar tissue and adhesion, allowing the body to cleanse itself of old blood/tissue. In many cases, as mentioned above, these massages have helped women who have previously struggled to conceive with IVF find success – be it through the process itself or sometimes even naturally. One example of this comes from an anonymous client who shared her story with IVF and Babies Bliss, beginning when she and her husband began proactively working towards conception in 2019, after failing to conceive naturally. Coming across Babies Bliss during research on how to increase the chances of IVF working, the client found Angelia’s name featured across a host of forums and IVF chat groups. During their consultation, Angelia was upfront and honest with the couple, explaining what she could offer and making sure that the couple were happy to proceed. Fast forward a few years and the couple were writing their testimonial during the third trimester of their first pregnancy – remarkable given the mother was 47 years old by this time. “Thank you, Babies Bliss! We are now looking forward to starting our own journey towards parenthood. For those experience infertility issues now, pleasure be positive and open to exploring all options which might help!” Of course, on the back of this, it is worth mentioning that there are no guarantees these massages will help a couple conceive, as there are many factors behind infertility and it is impossible to ensure results 100% of the time. However, the optimism embodied by Angelia and the team, coupled with their proven results and age-old techniques, make these fertility massages highly beneficial for women. Again, even those not preparing for pregnancy can benefit, with these massages improving menstruation issues and wellbeing. Lauded as the best fertility wellness specialist in Singapore, it is with great pleasure that we recognise Babies Bliss with a well-deserved spot in this programme.

APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 7 Businesses worldwide sit on a goldmine of exclusive data – but many still struggle to translate it into actionable insight. This inability to extract meaningful analysis can stall strategic decisionmaking and block measurable growth. FYT Consulting bridges that gap, delivering hands-on data analytics training that empowers clients to spot opportunities, mitigate risks, and fuel sustainable success. As the firm is recognised in the South East Asia Business Awards 2025, we caught up with Co-Founder and Principal Consultant Derreck Yuen to learn more. Since 2013, FYT Consulting has been equipping professionals with the confidence and skills to use data meaningfully in their roles, regardless of their technical background. This specialist firm focuses on building practical, sustainable data and AI capabilities within individuals and organisations, as well as supporting organisations in embedding data-driven and AI-enabled thinking into their culture, strategy, and workforce planning. Across its operations, FYT Consulting’s work is grounded in five core values: integrity in analysis with honest, databacked insights to support clear decisions; practical solutions, with all teachings and recommendations actionable and realistic; end-to-end skills, focusing on the full data value chain; empowerment through building long-term capability, not dependency; and collaboration, always working closely alongside its clientele to co-create success. FYT Consulting serves an array of clientele, including mid-career professionals seeking practical upskilling, alongside corporations and public sector organisations that strive to make better decisions with their data and adopt AI wisely. At its core, FYT Consulting aims to empower each client it serves, enabling them to think critically, ask the right questions, and apply data and AI solutions that deliver real-world impact. Its services span a broad range – from analytics and AI productivity workshops to strategic workforce planning, HR analytics advisory, and AI-driven job redesign. These solutions are delivered directly through the firm’s FYT Analytics Academy and also through trusted training partners across both Singapore and Malaysia. FYT Consulting’s trainers are all ACLP and HRDF certified, enabling the firm to deliver quality learning experiences to clients across the region. What truly distinguishes FYT Consulting isn’t just the breadth of its services – but how those services are designed and delivered. The firm takes a human-centred approach to its operations, electing to not only train people to use tools but help them develop the mindset, skills, and judgement to make sense of data and AI in real work settings. Whether through relatable examples in workshops or hands-on consulting engagements, FYT Consulting focuses on sustainable change – not broad training for quick fixes. This philosophy underpins FYT Consulting’s growing role as a strategic transformation partner for South East Asian organisations. Rather than offering generic AI solutions, the firm helps clients identify the right AI for the right problems – delivering measurable transition roadmaps and developing the workforce needed to execute them. This includes practical consulting, strategic workforce planning, and capability development – delivered not just at the leadership level but at the working level, where change really takes root. That holistic focus has also shaped how FYT Consulting responds to emerging trends. In response to the rise of generative AI raising new questions and uncertainties, the firm has launched AI productivity workshops and job redesign services that help clients to understand the difference between task-level automation and job-level transformation. It shows them how to map out work processes, identify what AI can augment, and redesign roles to elevate human strengths, such as judgement, empathy, and critical thinking. “We also emphasize that dataanalytics remains a core skill,” said Derreck. “Especially when combined with the right AI prompts and tools like language learning models. Our programmes now help professionals to integrate these capabilities for greater productivity and insight.” Looking ahead, the remainder of 2025 will see FYT Consulting playing a more strategic role in helping organisations navigate two major shifts: the rapid rise of AI and growing global market uncertainty. These accelerating forces are pushing businesses to rethink traditional workforce models – shifting towards leaner, more agile teams powered by the right AI tools for the right problems. But, for FYT Consulting, this evolution is not just about technology; it is about people. Through tailored consulting services, measurable AI roadmaps, strategic workforce planning, and targeted reskilling initiatives, FYT Consulting is uniquely equipped to guide clients through this transition. As Derreck concluded: “In short, our future plans aren’t just about more training – they’re about enabling transformation. We’re scaling our consulting and advisory services in parallel with our learning offerings to help organisations make the final leap into a truly AIready workforce.” Contact: Derrick Yuen Company: FYT Consulting Pte Ltd Web Address: www.fytconsultants.com Best Data Analytics Business Partner 2025 AIS-May25038

However, as Kenji told us: “Our goal is not merely to provide a service — we aim to be a longterm strategic partner in talent acquisition, committed to delivering quality matches that foster sustainable growth for businesses and fulfilling careers for individuals.” Reeracoen’s commitment to this can be seen through The Reeracoen Way, a set of six core values paving the way for the relationships that the agency builds – relationships built on trust and a brighter future where happiness is the mutual pursuit. These values, which encompass the agency’s intrinsic value of ‘one for all’ as well as the respect, positivity, and drive to grasp opportunities and tackle challenges it embodies, are part of something bigger: Reeracoen’s dual mission.

The agency also publishes the likes of hiring guides and industry reports targeted at both HR professionals and C-suite executives, and members of its team were recently interviewed by local outlet ChannelNewsAsia to comment on topics surrounding recruitment trends in Singapore and how organisations can close workforce gaps. Regarding these trends, Kenji noted that the team here have observed three defining shifts pertaining to the recruitment landscape of South East Asia: the rise in job scams, evolving workforce aspirations, and growing demand for agile and inclusive recruitment. In response, it has not only launched an awareness campaign tackling job scams but also surveyed more than 12,000 workers across 12 economies in the region to find out more about their goals, as well as having curated diverse talent pools to support new hiring models. With these initiatives in tow, Reeracoen is set to spend the rest of 2025 working towards deepening its impact as a thought leader in the region. As for exactly what this looks like, in the short term, the agency is nurturing transformation through datadriven storytelling – seen through initiatives such as publishing its APAC Workforce Whitepaper, leading regional discussions on sector-wide issues, and boosting its brand’s visibility. In the longer term, Kenji told us: “Our strategy at Reeracoen Singapore Pte Ltd remains centred on building a recruitment ecosystem that is not only efficient, but also guided by ethics and datadriven insights. We’ll continue to evolve our services to support employers adapting to hybrid and agile workforce models, as well as workers seeking purpose, flexibility, and growth. We believe recruitment is a human business – and our goal is to be the agency that businesses and jobseekers turn to when they need guidance, not just resumes.” Company: Reeracoen Singapore Pte Ltd Web Address: https://www.reeracoen.sg/ AIM-May25016
APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 9 May25038 VODKA57 is an esteemed producer of ultra-premium craft spirits of extraordinary quality, renowned for its historical heritage, artisanal passion, and sustainable innovation. Its meticulously handcrafted spirits are a celebration of tradition and dedication, delivering a refined and unforgettable drinking experience. The company believes that exceptional spirits begin with the finest ingredients, carefully sourced, and meticulously crafted using techniques passed down through generations. Nowadays consumers of spirits and alcoholic beverages are increasingly parting away from mass-distilled spirits as higher demand is posed on refined tastes and appreciation for authenticity. Handcrafted, sustainable, environmentally responsible, and sophisticated products are becoming the most sought-after qualities. This shift toward craft beverages is fundamentally altering the spirits landscape, with the demand for medium craft distilleries increasing significantly. This trend affects both small and major spirit producers driving more attention to sustainable production, certifiable suppliers and provenance. According to recent reports, consumers are increasingly preferring quality drinks over quantity, as well as more enhanced experiences in the onpremise channels. Premium spirits have become synonymous with craftsmanship and exclusivity, matching a highly demanding drinking culture in recent years. These premiumization features enable craft spirit makers to reach new high-end target consumers. Many producers are attempting to differentiate themselves from competitors with unique flavour characteristics, sophisticated distillation and filtration process, and high-end quality ingredients. Spirit producers are emphasizing on handcrafted and authentic products. New approaches such as the “from the field to the bottle” are now more common, where producers fully manage all manufacturing phases, from harvesting to bottling. Distillers are increasingly recognizing that ingredients selection, as well as original and proprietary grinding, mashing, and fermentation methodologies, have a substantial influence on the creation of distillate with individuality and character. Furthermore, the adoption of more traditional distillation process, in synergy with advanced filtration and refinement, further influence the quality of these finished products. This is how small-batch production does enable craft distillers to experiment with rare ingredients, resulting in unique range of formulations, aromas and taste profiles. Anticipating these shifting into consumer behaviors and market tends, VODKA57 fully embraced the handcrafted philosophy, already at the core of its family legacy. Nestled in the heart of Switzerland, within the pristine UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, its centuries-old distillery embraces the time-honored art of small batch production. Each bottle VODKA57 creates captures the essence, character, and complexity that define its legacy, reflecting its unwavering commitment to quality and precision. Its distillery is exceptionally located in Escholzmatt region at an elevation of 852m (2,795 ft) in the hearth of the Swiss Alps and is immersed in the UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere Reserve, a highly regulated and protected area encompassing over 39,000 hectares of Swiss valleys and mountains, reaching altitudes of 2,350m (7,710 ft). UNESCO Biosphere Reserves are learning places for sustainable development. They are sites for testing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and managing changes and interactions between social and ecological systems, including conflict prevention and management of biodiversity. They are places that provide local solutions to global challenges. Biosphere reserves include terrestrial, marine and coastal ecosystems. Each site promotes solutions reconciling the conservation of biodiversity with its sustainable use. As recognition of its dedication and passion, VODKA57 ultra-premium handcrafted and bespoke spirits have received extensive international accolades including Europa Vodka of the Year 2024 and Switzerland Vodka of the Year 2025 and recipient of the Monde Selection Gold Award and Superior Taste Award accreditations.

APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 11 May25295 Marking a decade next month since it was first established, Jetters Incz. Pte. Ltd. was founded on the back of a shared vision to revolutionise Singapore’s drainage industry. The company has carved out a niche for itself over the past ten years as a result of the comprehensive suite of services it delivers relating to waste management, with the innovative approach it takes to solving the country’s specific waste and drainage challenges having positioned it at as a significant player in the industry. On a mission to establish itself as the premier – and therefore only – solution to the waste and drainage concerns of its clients, Jetters Incz. is working towards an environment where this entire industry is improved through a process encompassing service excellence and a forward-thinking approach. The company’s focus on this foundational process is unwavering and the lifeblood of every service it delivers, from rodding and flushing to desilting, biotreatment, and more generalised plumbing solutions such as repairs and inspections. “Beyond our core drainage services, we provide encompassing plumbing solutions including piping works covering repair, disposal, and installation, alongside survey and inspection services, CCTV pipe inspection, and thorough leakage surveys.” Aside from setting it apart in a crowded industry, Jetters Incz.’s pioneering ethos is seeing that both the current and future challenges of waste and drainage are accounted for and worked towards. This is important in the company continuing down its current path of becoming a leader in both the waste management and environmental services sectors of Singapore, a goal shared by every member of the small but dedicated team. Comprising a choice selection of young drainage specialists keen to disrupt, the youthfulness of Jetters Incz.’s team is in no way a sign of inexperience, as the wealth of knowledge and experience they share in the market is the foundation of the leading solutions the company delivers across the likes of F&B outlets, hotels, and shopping centres. The pursuit of perfection drives this team to go above and beyond for these clients, and no job is too big or too small for them to take on and integrate into their collective of transformation. As a spokesperson for the company told us: “Our client base represents some of Singapore’s most prestigious organisations across multiple sectors, spanning commercial real estate, hospitality, and food and beverage. We are privileged to serve as the main contractor for numerous honourable organisations. Here, we provide our complete range of drainage solutions across its extensive mall network, supporting its commercial building maintenance requirements.” The proven track record the team have for collaborating with esteemed organisations and chain outlets alike throughout Singapore has resulted in Jetters Incz.’s reputation as the onestop shop for drainage solutions in the country. Thus, on the back of this, clients in the aforementioned industries benefit from not having to engage with multiple service providers to achieve their environmental aims. In a country as highly urbanised as Singapore, where sustainability is key, this level of efficiency is invaluable and changes the game.

APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 12 Guided by the belief that estate planning should celebrate an individual’s uniquity and the dynamics of their family, Magis Legacy affords every client a personalised journey complete with an estate plan tailored to both the current and future chapters of their life. From will-writing services to guidance with lasting power of attorney (LPA) or even developing robust business succession strategies, this trusted estate planner delivers its legacy-planning solutions to an array of clients, with the common link between them being the pursuit of something ‘more’ than a traditional will. Magis Legacy specialises in the provision of comprehensive estate and legacy-planning services for individuals and families alike in Singapore. Primarily serving professionals, business owners, and other such highnet-worth individuals, the company is renowned across the region for delivering thoughtful planning grounded in its values – all whilst reflecting the unique dynamics, life goals, and desired legacies every family is built upon. “Our goal is simple: to help our clients love their loved ones for longer – by ensuring their wishes are honoured, and their families are protected, empowered, and prepared.” As for how these values – clarity, compassion, and integrity – shape the company’s work, they are the foundation of an ethos that estate planning should be a conversation and not a transaction. For example, the injection of clarity into a notoriously-complex sphere sees clients empowered to make confident decisions, whilst compassion sees human connections made and paves the way for the company’s trusted reputation. Integrity then underpins the entire process, ensuring the team always act in their clients’ best interests. Going one step further and exploring exactly what this looks like, by asking difficult but necessary questions such as “what kind of legacy do you want to leave?” and “how will this decision impact your children, not just legally, but emotionally?”, Magis Legacy sets itself apart by focusing on the people behind the paperwork. This not only positions the company as a reliable partner in some of life’s most personal moments, but it demonstrates the value it can add in the lives of those in everevolving cosmopolitan hub that is Singapore. Despite a growing awareness of the importance of estate planning in Singapore, many in the country are still delaying the process due to the widely-held belief that it is either too complicated or something exclusively for the elderly or abundantly wealthy. On a mission to change this, Magis Legacy is prioritising education to ensure that legacy planning is presented in a more accurate light: as a relevant, accessible service for now. Shifting the public’s mindset around legacy planning is no easy task, and this trusted estate planner recognises it is an aim that can only be achieved by focusing on both the technical precision and emotional nuance inherent in legacy planning. Thus, the team here support one another across these areas, enhancing their knowledge of the sector whilst also improving how they serve the real, human needs of a rapidlyexpanding client base. The work Magis Legacy is proudly spearheading in this space has resulted in the emergence of some industry-defining trends over the past 12 months or so, be it the growing demand for the likes of LPA and will-writing services amongst younger clients, more business owners prioritising succession planning, or parents recognising the need for specialised estate planning to ensure their children access longterm welfare and financial stability. Capitalising on the shifts that it has helped usher in, the shortterm future of Magis Legacy is geared towards expanding its corporate outreach programme – which sees conversations had around estate planning and in-house clinics delivered concerning workplaces and professional networks. A company representative added: “We also intend to deepen our partnerships with the likes of special-needs advocacy organisations, so we can extend our specialised estateplanning services to parents and caregivers navigating these unique challenges.” Finally, the company’s longerterm plans revolve around adopting a more proactive approach to aligning its services with national initiatives such as the My Legacy vault: a platform created by the Singaporean government to help individuals plan their end-of-life matters. This similarly offers the likes of will-writing information/tools and LPA support, so Magis Legacy’s support will only help to bolster both its output and its impact. Going beyond the documents and technicalities usually stopped at by its competitors to deliver a service that is intentional, trustworthy, and deeply rooted in the human connection, Magis Legacy is a testament to the fact that estate planning is about preparing those closest to us for a life after we have gone. This may seem like a scary thought, but with this legacyplanning expert, the process has never been more clear or compassionate.

APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2025 | 13 Outstanding events are the ones that feel truly effortless. But behind every smooth experience lies a maze of decisions, deadlines, and details – expertly navigated with quiet precision. Event management isn’t just about logistics; it is about trust, timing, and the ability to turn chaos into celebration. One company renowned for this ability is Carnival Empire, a pioneering force in the events industry committed to delivering exceptional entertainment, hospitality, and event services. We took a closer look, below. Carnival Empire was founded in 2019, by Founder and CEO Jayden Chen. Before establishing the company, Jayden was a performer who loved to make people smile through his craft as a magician. Over time, however, Jayden recognised an unsettling development growing behind the scenes; there was a rising number of events being mismanaged by event companies often overpromising and underdelivering. Through his position as a performer, Jayden saw firsthand how clients were left stressed, disappointed, and struggling to mitigate the issues that should have never been theirs to fix. Believing there had to be a better way to navigate this overly complex landscape, Jayden was driven by a desire to not only deliver magical performances but magical experiences, from start to finish. To this end, he established Carnival Empire – an event company built on trust, attention to detail, and an unfaltering dedication to the client experience. From day one, Jayden has steered Carnival Empire with the vision of seamless execution no longer merely being the goal, but the standard. This vision is reflected in everything Carnival Empire does – from corporate functions to weddings, private parties to large-scale productions. Today, Carnival Empire delivers not only events, but experiences crafted with care, executed with precision, and remembered for all the right reasons. The company provides exceptional event management services to a range of the top local and international companies, such as McDonald’s, Singtel, Singapore Airline, Alibaba, Lazada, DBS Bank, Great Eastern, Singapore Food Agency, and Propnex – Singapore’s most prominent property company, to name a few. Across its operations, Carnival Empire prides itself on going the extra mile to ensure every event exceeds expectations. Since its inception, Carnival Empire has upheld the core values of problem solving, responsibility, initiative, detail, end excellence – encapsulated within the PRIDE framework. These values guide the company’s approach, establishing the Carnival Empire team a trusted partner for every event it serves and ensuring that clients receive maximum value for every penny spent on their event. To achieve this mission, Carnival Empire provides clients with everything needed to create a memorable event – from carnival games and entertainers to equipment rentals. With over a decade of combined experience in the event planning industry, the company has developed a comprehensive suite of services that cover each stage of the process, from concept to curtain call. This includes providing event emcees; decorations; balloon sculpting and workshops; a variety of carnival food stalls catering to a wide range of dietary preferences and requirements; and an extensive array of rental services, such as carnival games, arcade machines, bouncy castles, ball pits, and inflatable games, prize redemption machines, tentage, event furniture, and platform stages. At its core, the company is on a mission to establish itself as the leading choice for those seeking memorable events, recognised for delivering outstanding and innovative experiences that inspire an over-90% client return rate. This has been Carnival Empire’s mission from its inception and has allowed the company to grow and scale its operations as it grows in repute, always ensuring to deliver no less than 100% client satisfaction with each project it undertakes. This mission has been a key driver behind Carnival Empire’s sustained success, directly demonstrated in its unrivalled five-star rating on Google. One client wrote: “It was a pleasure working with Jayden and the team from Carnival Empire! The Squid Game concept was brilliantly executed – from the immersive balloon and venue décor to the finishing touch of sticker magic by Signarama Eunos. The added plus to all this was the smooth and efficient way that everything came together. I’m looking forward to working with Carnival Empire again!” While another reported: “I have used Carnival Empire for multiple events over the last few years, and they have been such a great event support. I can trust that my event will be ran without any problems when I am working with Carnival Empire. The team is very efficient and responsive, all event staff are professional, friendly, polite, and arrive on time. I highly recommend Carnival Empire without any reservations. They are indeed the go-to if you are looking for affordable and responsive event support.” Contact: Jayden Chen Company: Carnival Empire Pte Ltd Web Address: www.carnivalempire.sg Best Event Entertainment & Management Company 2025 – Singapore May25245
