George Steuarts & Co Chief Executive Officer – Consumer Paddy Weerasekera said, “We are extremely happy to partner with P&S, a reputed and well established organisation. Dambulla is a city where there are a lot of visitors both local and foreign tourists and we see good potential for us to offer our range of products.
