BMICH Director General Sunil Dissanayake retired from the services of the organisation on July 31, reaching retirement age.
He was appointed as Director General in May 2015 and helped the BMICH reach great heights in management and operations.
The organisation achieved its highest revenue in history in 2019. 
“We maintained our profit margins with stringent cost management strategies and built our customer base despite severe competition and also upgraded the facilities to meet world-class standards,” Dissanayake said. 


“Though we went through difficult times from April 2019 to August 2022, we did not experience any financial loss,” he said.  “My association with the BMICH began in 1976, when I was appointed as Manager of the Banquet Hall, during the fifth non-aligned summit conference. 

At that time, I was a hotel Manager at The Lake (then Hotel Seruwa) in Polonnaruwa and was handpicked for the post by the then Prime Minister Sirima Bandaranaike,” said Dissanayake.
