Exceptional results like this, come from great leadership, vision and team spirit,” he said.

“The year behind us was a tough one with many challenges. It takes great people to achieve great results. We need to drive together as one organisation, as a team with passion and determination, and thereby deliver superior results. Let’s forge ahead, let’s stick to basics, let’s excel and emerge victorious, true to our theme. Without the support of all departments we cannot reach our goal. As one family and as one team we will excel and be a bigger and better organisation next year,” Fonseka added.
