Elephant House is a household brand in Sri Lanka, a brand that we have lived with over the years and one that we will continue to live with. It is certainly pleasing to see how the brand has developed over the years. I would like to thank CCS for the support the company has shown towards the Sri Lankan capital market and wish the company 
continued success.”
