Charles Gamage joins board of LCB Finance

Lanka Credit and Business Finance PLC Ltd appointed Charles Gamage as a Director of the company on October 15, 2025. 

Gamage pioneered the establishment of the Galle Co-operative Hospital, functioning as its General Manager and subsequently was appointed as Chairman of the board of directors of the hospital, which position he holds to date.  

From a humble beginning as a dispensary, he contributed his administrative skills towards expanding services and operations of the entity, resulting in creating the fully -fledged Galle Co-operative Hospital that exists today to serve specifically those in medium and low-income groups in the Galle district. 

His contribution involved construction and provisioning of required land and building space to accommodate wards, provisioning of specialist consultation services, cardiac unit, operating theatres, incentive care units, a diagnostic centre consisting of MRI, mammograph and spinal X-Ray facilities and laboratories, backed by the required skilled medical analysts, nursing staff and supporting services. 

Gamage is one among the initial Directors of Ruhunu Development Bank to be appointed by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka and is also a Director of Galle District Co-operative Rural Bank for the last three years, Director of Sri Lanka Federation of Co-operative Societies, Consultant to the Union of Co-operative Societies and member of the Meepawala Sanasa Society.

The board of directors of the company could benefit immensely by the availability of his 30-year experience in the co-operative sector, NGOs and from his administrative skills, in achieving the ambitious business expansion plans, specifically aimed at expanding the business volumes of the company with the co-operative sector establishments, operating in the catchment areas, served by the company’s branch network.
