Keells Food Products enjoy record sales

Keells Food Products PLC enjoyed record sales during the past festive season with its 'Keells Chicken Meatball Curry', the newest product to its fast growing portfolio and the first such innovative product of its kind introduced to the market.

CEO Keells Food Products PLC Asitha Samaraweera said, "The feedback from consumers was that it was full of flavour and a welcome addition to any meal.

This was more especially so when relatives or neighbours dropped in.

Affordably priced, Keells Meatball Curry comes in 400g cans with enough for the whole family and brings the best of traditional Sri Lankan chicken curry. "What also makes Keells Chicken Meatball Curry unique is that it is easy-to-stock, even in non-refrigerated conditions and is a product that can be quickly served with minimum preparation for breakfast, lunch or dinner, thus bringing convenience to busy Sri Lankan lifestyles.

These pre-cooked, seasoned and succulent meatballs captured public imagination and interest with their "easy to cook - heat and eat" option which proved to be the key indicator for its success this past festive season," Samaraweera said.

The first to introduce a product of this nature, Keells Food Products has won the faith and confidence of thousands of Sri Lankans across the country with its 25 years of trusted operations in the food industry.

Keells Food Products is also the only processed foods company which maintains SLS and ISO Quality Management Systems and HACCP Food Safety Management System.

Ceylinco Family Savari winners chosen

The Ceylinco Life insurance conducted the grand draw of its 'Family Savari' promotion in Colombo last week, selecting 20 people from five families for an all-expenses-paid dream cruise on a luxury liner, and 2,400 from 600 families for a full-day's outing at the Leisure World theme park.

A data base of about two million numbers, representing nearly 400,000 policyholders who qualified for the mega promotion was searched within seconds and the winners chosen by a random number generator, bringing a potentially life-changing experience closer to five families from Uragasmanhandiya (Galle District), Matale, Kandana, Homagama and Kegalla, who will fly to Singapore in February for their luxury cruise. The 600 families that won an all-expenses-paid outing at Leisure World including transport to and from the theme park, were selected ensuring that at least two families from every town and village covered by Ceylinco Life's 150 plus branches would be among the winners. The outing at Leisure World is schedule to take place in March this year.

"The Ceylinco Life Family Savari promotion is logistically one of the largest activities entailing direct interaction with customers ever undertaken by a corporate entity in Sri Lanka," said Chief Executive Director of Ceylinco Life Rajkumar Renganathan.

"It gets bigger, more ambitious and reaches a wider group each year, and is a unique example of our affinity with our huge policyholder community," he said. Covering policyholders whose policies were active as at December 31, 2008, new policyholders who purchased life insurance between August 1 and December 31, 2008 and persons who have or who opened Ceylinco Retirement Accounts (CRA) during the five months of the promotion, the Family Savari is intended to generate greater awareness of and interest in life insurance in market segments as yet unprotected through insurance, reward existing policyholders for keeping their policies active and provide an incentive to others to revive and maintain their policies.

In previous Family Savari events, Ceylinco Life provided an all-expenses paid holiday for 258 people in Singapore, a day's outing at Leisure World for 1,600 people, a three-day camping adventure with helicopter rides thrown in for 200 people, and an excursion to the Elephant Orphanage at Pinnawela.

For the purpose of the promotion, a winning family is defined as the policyholder, spouse and two children. If the policyholder is unmarried, he or she can nominate three other immediate family members.
