Lassana Flora announced that it has refreshed itself with a more vibrant yet sophisticated outlook to cater to every customer’s need as the next step to enhance their ever blossoming brand position and meet the challenges of the future. Creativity, professionalism and freshness – signifying their staff, customers and suppliers - will be their credo – all magnified through the vivacious colours and flower symbols, whilst the company thrives for excellence to ‘Beautify significant moments in your life.’

Amongst the many services that have been planned for the months ahead, in addition to offering exquisite flower arrangements, the Company has expanded into other services  - including providing cake structures, wedding cakes and wedding cards and even gift deliveries such as chocolates, cakes and soft toys to name a few. Lassana Flora offers its services through its five main branches at Nawala, Galle Face Hotel, Moratuwa, Negombo and Kandy, along with its state-of-the-art workshop and cool room facility at its Homagama stores complex.  Today, they are the only wedding florist company in Sri Lanka to use a fleet of freezer trucks to deliver flowers in order to preserve their beauty for a longer duration of time. What’s more, the florist is now expanding into modern trade by opening outlets even in shopping malls and supermarkets – all in order to ensure that their customers will have access to their products and services with greater convenience.

Lassana Flora also offers its clientele the option of ordering flower arrangements via its telephone hotline (011 4402221) as well as its website www.lassanaflora.com. This website provides not only an extensive range of flower arrangements and gift options, but customers within Colombo and the suburbs now also have the benefit of having their flowers or gifts delivered at no additional cost, whilst island wide delivery is available at a nominal fee. In a day and age where being online has become everything, Dr. Lasantha Malavige founder of Lassana Flora stated how beneficial it has been to have a fully fledged website that caters to customers in any corner of the world, be it locals, foreigners or even Sri Lankan expatriates.

“Lassana Flora is the first and only floral company to be awarded the ISO certification in the whole of South Asia,” commented Dr. Malavige. “Such an accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible if not for a dedicated team of co-workers whose individual creativity and consistency makes a significant contribution towards the end product. Our vision is to set a benchmark in excellence in all what we do. Therefore we intend to recruit more dynamic young men and women with a passion for creativity and innovation as management trainees. Our management training program will help them to achieve their full potential as dynamic managers of the future.”

He further added, “One of our biggest strengths is our well talented and professional designers, customer oriented frontline staff and suppliers who have been an integral part of Lassana Flora since its inception. We have constantly introduced innovative designs and different floral solutions and are proud to be the total floral solutions provider for most of the leading international events happening in Sri Lanka.”

In addition to their own nurseries, Lassana Flora recently opened a collecting centre in the Nuwara Eliya Economic centre thereby helping small growers to sell their produce at better prices and in return encouraging community development. This together with other initiatives taken to streamline supply chain management will reduce the post harvest wastage of flowers by 15% and in addition, the quality and freshness of the flowers will be significantly better, Dr Malavige averred. Today Lassana Flora has built its reputation to be the most reliable, innovative and a cost effective florist who is well regarded as a trendsetter by a large number of bridal designers, event planners and customers at large.
