Reaffirming its position yet again as a leader in corporate excellence, Brown & Company PLC was honoured at the prestigious Best Management Practices Company Awards 2025. Conducted by the Institute of Chartered Professional Managers of Sri Lanka (CPM), the conglomerate was recognised with double accolades under ‘Twenty Outstanding Companies’ and as the winner in the ‘Trading & Manufacturing’ category held at the Monarch Imperial recently.

This achievement is a resounding testament to the Company’s unwavering commitment to management excellence, innovation and visionary leadership. The award selection was preceded by a rigorous evaluation process by an esteemed panel of judges, who assessed participating companies against globally recognised benchmarks in strategic management and operational performance.

“To sustain and thrive for one-and-a-half centuries is no small feat. It takes resilience, strategic foresight and above all, robust management practices. Brown & Company has weathered multiple economic cycles, political changes and market evolutions — emerging stronger each time, thanks to its agile leadership and consistent adherence to best practices in governance and operations. Furthermore, receiving these accolades in our 150th year of operation adds profound significance to a sustained legacy cultivated over decades, aptly captured in its brand promise, ‘A Heritage of Trust.’ These recognitions continue to synergise us in our journey towards the next century of impact, transformation and leadership” said Director/CEO, Thamotharampillai Sanakan.
