Commenting on the event’s purpose and objectives, C. W. Mackie PLC Executive Director Mangala Perera stated, “As this year’s annual sales conference concluded successfully, I would like to recall more or less, five years ago when the Scan Products Division functioned as a small business unit within the C. W. Mackie PLC group. Today, the Scan Products division has come a long way within a short period of time thanks to the efforts of our sales team. We are proud to have become the group’s source of steady profit by contributing over 50% of total group profitability. This is indeed an achievement and it is a relief to have a dedicated sales team such as ours. This event also stands as a platform where we can recognize our accomplishments of the last financial year, reassess progress, analyse any drawbacks to determine new targets for the next year and focus on working towards achieving our goals.”
