Sinhaputra counts 30
Sinhaputhra Finance Ltd., reached yet another milestone in the
financial sector having celebrated its 30th anniversary recently.
The Company has braved many storms and has turned out to be one of
the leading financial institutions in Kandy.
Way back in 1978 the concept of the open economy saw ample light for
business establishments to blossom and this caused the birth of
Sinhaputhra Agricultural and Industrial Finance Company Ltd. on November
6th 1978.
Sinhaputhra took its toll under the leadership and guidance of the
late Tissa Wijeyeratne with his story of success and close links with
the business community steered the company to a steady institution as it
stands today.
Over the years Sinhaputhra had a Directorate of vision in the calibre
of the late L.B. Karunatillake, T.B. Talwatte, T.B.H. Dunuwille and a
host of other business magnates in Kandy who were on the Board who
contributed zealously towards the growth and success of the Company.
On May 18, 1987 the Company changed its name to Sinhaputhra Finance
Ltd. Shifting from its original and subsequent offices it is now housed
in more spacious premises at Kandy where it caters to an increasing
clientele. |
