GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the leading pharmaceuticals and vaccines company in Sri Lanka, has felicitated 19 employees for loyal service to the company at the 2012 edition of its annual Long Service Awards.

The employees honoured this year included four that have completed 25 years at GSK, as well as seven with 20 years of service, six who have completed 15 years and two who have notched up 10 years.

Addressing these employees and their family members at the gala event at the Mount Lavinia Hotel, Stuart Chapman, Managing Director of GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Sri Lanka, stressed on the importance of commitment, not just of the employees, but also their immediate family members, to individual career success.

“GSK is grateful to you for the many years of hard work, passion and loyalty and for your role as champions of the company’s values,” he said. “We also value the support your family has extended to you over the years of your service to GSK.”

Handsome commemorative plaques and other rewards were presented to these long standing employees at this ceremony. Apart from their contributions to the company, these awards recognise commitment to the company’s mission to enable people to ‘do more, feel better and live longer.’

GSK and its predecessors have been doing business in Sri Lanka since the late 1930s. A world leading pharmaceuticals and vaccines company, GSK is the only pharmaceuticals company to tackle the three “priority” diseases identified by the World Health Organization (WHO): HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
