Rayush Wijeyaratne who has been at Event Management Pvt Limited (EPPL) for over a decade, takes over the reins as Managing Director of this thirty-year old company.

Having joined EPPL in 2011 post his degree in Business from London School of Economics, while overlooking operations of the company founded by his father Roshan in the early 1990s, Rayush took the lead in adding tech-innovations into the complete look and feel of event production. 

“I am excited to be handing over the company I founded to the second generation, which is truly a proud moment for me,” says Roshan Wijeyaratne who will continue as Director of the company, to extend support and share his wealth of experience. 

Having navigated the company through some of the most difficult times in Sri Lanka’s history but never veering from his commitment to ultra-professionalism not just in the events he produces but also in his attitude, discipline, detail orientation and creativity, Rayush has added the vital component of the next-gen tech feel into the EPPL portfolio.  

Renowned for producing events to international standards which has also seen its client portfolio gain the addition of a leading global and local corporate to achieve sustained growth, EPPL has produced over five thousand events ranging from corporate events, award ceremonies, conferences, product launches, fashion shows and gala events to innovative hybrid events, visual experiences, concerts and festivals.  

 “This is a big step for the company but I know my team is ready to take the next leap. I look forward to leading the company as we continue to raise the bar to provide our clients innovative, purposeful and engaging productions that will support their business goals.”
