BE FORWARD Business Awards in Singapore
On July 10, 2025, BE FORWARD CO., LTD., a leader in cross-border e-commerce, hosted its inaugural
BE FORWARD Business Awards in Singapore, aimed at celebrating the success of outstanding second-hand car dealers and companies engaged in export-related operations over the past year. This year’s event drew a significant turnout, with 33 companies represented and a total of 83 participants.
Since initiating trilateral trade in Singapore in 2018, BE FORWARD has seen a remarkable growth trajectory, establishing the nation as a crucial sourcing location. The company’s rapid expansion can be largely attributed to the invaluable partnerships it has developed with local suppliers and collaborators. To express gratitude and acknowledge their contributions, BE FORWARD has been hosting this awards ceremony since 2022.
The awards program featured 13 special categories, including best sales performance for the top three dealers, as well as newcomer awards and recognitions for achievements across various related sectors. The trophies were presented by CEO Hirokazu Yamakawa, who expressed heartfelt appreciation to the participating companies, stating, “The strong partnerships we share have laid the foundation for our success in trilateral trade. I have great expectations for our continued collaboration and mutual growth.”
The thriving market in Singapore has allowed BE FORWARD to consistently achieve strong performance metrics, with May 2025 marking the company’s highest sales and unit numbers to date. Through this awards event, BE FORWARD aims to deepen trust and relationships with local dealers and associated stakeholders, driving their efforts towards continuous record-breaking results.
