Nations Trust Bank recently hosted a workshop for over 110 stakeholders of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) from the Kadawatha region to enhance their business knowledge and skills.
The event was held at the Galadari Hotel in Colombo and the keynote speaker at the event was business development guru, Wayamba University Senior Lecturer Dr. Aminda Perera. The subject matter of the keynote address was ‘How SMEs can best position themselves for growth and how they can differentiate themselves from competitors in their relevant sectors’.

Meanwhile, Nations Trust Bank also conducted another seminar for customers of its Kuliyapitiya, Wariyapola and Giriulla Branches who are engaged in the coconut industry. More than 110 stakeholders attended this event, which was held at the Sirimali Royal Dawn Hotel. The keynote speaker at the event was Industrial Service Bureau Director Neelakanth Wannianayake. He spoke about the present state of the coconut industry, challenges and opportunities.

We take this opportunity to thank all our SME customers and their guests who participated along with the speakers at the events, whose insights were highly valued and appreciated.”
