Long service team members being felicitated at CDB Annual Awards 2014/15


Celebrating its milestone two decades in operation as a highly successful corporate steward and financial services industry leader, Citizens Development Business Finance PLC (CDB) gave its credo of stakeholder responsibility true meaning when it felicitated the loyalty and dynamism of team members who have undoubtedly been the axis of its successful journey.

Felicitating those who have been with CDB for over 10 years or more, the company places its team as the raison d’etre behind its success, crediting them with unparalleled dedication, unmatched service mindset and most of all an unwavering need to innovate, which has undoubtedly given CDB a competitive edge. As mentioned by CDB Managing Director/CEO Mahesh Nanayakkara at the gala felicitation ceremony where 20 team members received a unique 20th anniversary memento, “CDB’s journey of two decades denotes a passion and commitment that only a highly motivated team can give unreservedly. They have aligned themselves to ensure that CDB’s vision that is centred on the cornerstones of entrepreneurship, innovation and elevation of stakeholder lifestyles, is realised. To us, this makes up the heart and soul of what CDB is all about.” For the past 20 years, the CDB team has been an inherent part of positioning CDB as a formidable player within the financial services industry, achieving its mission of enriching people’s life through extension of financial services by a people driven business approach built on human emotions, human passion and human spirit. Hence, to recognise, honour and express gratitude for their industriousness, innovative capabilities and unmatched excellence in everything they do, the felicitation ceremony also included other rewards for team members whose passion and loyalty to CDB remains unmatched. 

Thirty six team members, excluding management who have completed 10 years of service, were presented with a foreign tour, in addition to funding assistance being extended to their spouses and children to join them on this holiday. As such, a total of 79 team members and their families enjoyed a fun-filled tour of Malaysia recently.
