Ruwan Chandreen of International Distillers Limited Sri Lanka, recently bagged the Gold Award at the National Sales Awards (NASCO) organized by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM). The NASCO award recognizes outstanding sales personnel who have made a significant contribution to their respective companies.

"I am grateful to work for a company that is always supporting its employees to reach their fullest potential," said Ruwan. He credits his success to the comprehensive training and development programs offered by the company, which allow employees to reach their full potential.

"My journey at International Distillers has been special because they provide a supportive and encouraging environment for employees to grow and develop their skills," said Ruwan. "The training programs are comprehensive and tailored to the needs of each employee, which allows us to perform at our best and achieve our goals."

According to the company's Chief Sales Officer, Mr. Rohan Chularatne "At IDL, the company believes that its employees are their greatest asset. We are committed to providing them with the resources they need to succeed, including ongoing training and development programs. Ruwan's recent award is a testament to the effectiveness of these programs and to his hard work and dedication to the company."

International Distillers Ltd has a strong culture of employee development and empowerment. The company provides its employees with ongoing training and development opportunities. This investment in employee development has paid off, as evidenced by Ruwan's recent award.

The fact that an employee of IDL won the Gold Award is a testament to the company's commitment to nurturing and promoting its employees. “To succeed in any industry, companies must constantly innovate and evolve to stay on the cutting edge. — and that entails helping employees continuously develop professionally. Employee development is an essential component of IDL’s corporate culture. “We prioritize training new skills and keeping our employees up to date on industry best practices. Rather than only developing a skill set for a specific function, this comprises increasing employees' talents and knowledge so that they can grow in their overall career path,” Chief People Officer of IDL, Mrs. Anuradha Wickramasinghe said commenting on Ruwan’s achievement. 

International Distillers' dedication to employee development is just one of the many reasons why it is a leading company in Sri Lanka. By investing in its employees, the company is able to maintain a competitive edge in the market and provide its customers with the highest quality products and services.
