As part of its continued effort to expand its reach and advocate financial advocacy in
Sri Lanka, Mercantile Investments and Finance PLC, recently opened the doors to its
80 th branch in the picturesque setting of Nuwara-Eliya. The branch opening carried
great significance for Mercantile Investments, because of its relationship with the
iconic Grand Hotel Nuwara-Eliya. The prestigious heritage hotel is owned and
operated by the Nuwara-Eliya Hotels Company, which is an associate company of
Mercantile Investments.
The launch event was held under the auspices of Mr. Gerad Ondaatjie, Managing
Director of Mercantile Investments, Mr. Laksanda Gunawardena, Chief Operating
Officer, Mercantile Investments and other senior members of the management team.
A few customers and other distinguished guests from the local community were also
present. The fact that the 80 th branch was also opened in the same city as the hotel,
was both a meaningful and celebratory moment for the group. Many officials from the
Grand Hotel also attended the event, creating a vibrant atmosphere that reflected
collaboration and progress.
As always, the new Mercantile Investments branch in Nuwara-Eliya, will offer the
gamut of trusted financial services, including Leasing, Gold Loans, Fixed Deposits
and Children’s Savings, each designed to meet the requirements of individuals,
families and business in the area. With a legacy built on innovation and customer
growth, the company continues to expand its reach across the nation, while staying
true to its mission of providing inclusive, accessible and reliable financial solutions to
communities from all walks of life.
The Nuwara-Eliya branch both reflects the company’s strategic growth and
reinforces its deep seeded connection within the associated companies as it
continues to support financial empowerment, and regional development.
