GLOBAL COMMERCE EXCELLENCE AWARD

On December 13 (2011) at a glittering event at the Ceylon Continental Hotel, attended by many heads of reputed corporate companies, Micro Cars received the Global Commerce Excellence Award. This was initiated by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka to award companies who have made a positive contribution to the economy during a time of war. Micro Cars was one of the few companies who walked away with this prestigious accolade. Dr. Lawrence Perera Chairman of Micro Cars and Guhasanka- Director were presented with the Global Commerce Excellence Award by Lalith Weeratunga, Secretary the President and Governor of the Central Bank Nivard Cabraal.

Keeping to the vision of the ‘Mahinda Chinthana Idiri Dakma’ these awarded companies have invested largely in both capital and man-power to keep the economy afloat. This act of facing business challenges successfully during such turbulent times has deemed these organizations award-worthy. Commenting on the achievement Director of Micro Cars, Guhasanka stated that “this award has immense value because it is a testament to the resilient sprit and the never give up attitude of the organization. We have invested a great deal during the war times and we were always willing to stand by the government and the Sri Lankan people. Bringing Sri Lanka and the people a bet- ter way of life has always been the objective of the Micro Cars company, and it will be so in the future“. Guhasanka also mentioned that receiving this award has been extremely encouraging it could not have been achieved without the collective effort and positive attitude of the entire staff at the Micro Cars organization.

The Global Commerce Excellence Awards were organized in conjunction of Shippers Academy of Colombo and the Technical Corporation of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, a worthy recognition as these organizations have positively contributed to growth and shifting Sri Lanka to a middle income nation that it is today.
