Nations Trust Bank recently held the Magnus Awards 2016 amidst glitz and glamour at The Kingsbury Colombo’s Balmoral Ballroom recently. The theme of the Magnus Awards 2016 was ‘Game Changer’ and its purpose was to recognise and reward individuals and teams that found the courage to disrupt the established order, change the game and deliver excellence.

Eleven prestigious awards in 11 competitive categories were handed out at the ceremony, which was followed by a gala evening of cocktails, fellowship and a sumptuous dinner. Entertainment items throughout the evening kept the audience transfixed, most notably a beautiful and moving rendition of a popular song sung by the staff of Nations Trust Bank, with a ‘game changing’ twist. Entertainment acts by Nadro and Umaara also added flare to the evening.

Speaking at the event, Nations Trust Bank CEO Renuka Fernando said: “Today innovation, excellence and synergy are the key drivers of success in the marketplace. The only way to foster these qualities is to create an environment in which people are unafraid to excel and actually rewarded for doing so. That is why we host the Magnus Awards. Also, nothing brings a team together quite like an evening of colour, entertainment and camaraderie. This evening has been a great success and I think we all had a great time. While I congratulate all the winners, I encourage the rest of my team to seek to aspire to the principles for which these accolades stand and to work definitively towards achieving our collective goals.”
