Key highlights from the evening
Hayleys Mobility Ltd., the mobility arm of Hayleys Fentons Ltd., hosted an exclusive cocktail evening featuring former All Blacks Captain Kieran Read on 28 April at its OJ Flagship Store at Altair Towers, Colombo.
The event brought together clients, stakeholders, and partners to mark the company’s growing role in international rugby, combining sport leadership, and premium mobility experiences.
The key highlight was an intimate podcast recording with Kieran Read, who shared reflections on leadership, discipline, and the demands of international rugby in conversation with Shanaka Amarasinghe. The podcast recording has since been made available through the YouTube channel of Hayleys Mobility.
Hayleys Mobility served as the Official Automobile Partner for the New Zealand Under-85kg rugby team’s two-Test series against the Sri Lanka Tuskers, a tour taking place across April and May 2026, played for the prestigious Sir Graham Henry Trophy.
As part of this partnership, Hayleys Mobility will also serve as Kieran Read’s personal automobile partner throughout his tour. He will travel to official engagements in the refined OMODA & JAECOO vehicle range, offering comfort, safety, and a seamless opportunity to experience Sri Lanka’s scenic landscapes.
This partnership builds on Hayleys Mobility’s ongoing support for rugby in Sri Lanka, moving from schools-level initiatives to national-level engagements.
Hayleys Mobility’s vehicle portfolio, including the OMODA & JAECOO, embodies the very spirit of rugby, dynamic energy, resilience, and the capability to perform across diverse terrains. This natural alignment positions Hayleys Mobility as a strong advocate for the sport, both on and off the field.
