Commenting on the significance of the new customer centre, Rodrigo elaborated on the special relationship which the bank had developed with businesses and retail customers in the town.

“I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable development that has taken place in the last few decades which speaks volumes for the enterprising people of Nugegoda who have made this town one of the most sought after locations in Colombo for work and living. 

“HNB is truly privileged to have partnered you in achieving your dreams and have no doubt this landmark building with a fully equipped Digital Banking and Priority Banking Centre is testament to our commitment for the future,” he stated.

 “We are very pleased that HNB has been able to complete its strategic relocation. Already we can see that the new premises has ample parking space and this is certainly a significant improvement over the previous location. Over the last 25 years, our company has had the distinct pleasure of working closely with HNB and in that time we have grown from a relatively small business to one which now generates turnover in excess of Rs. 1 billion. At every step along the way, we have received invaluable support from HNB. Even when negotiating, they have always sought to reach a result that is a win-win for both sides and we wish them every success and look forward to working with HNB in the future as well,” Polycrome Electrical Industries CEO Pradeep Kahawalage stated.
