Talent was on abundant display when non-executive employees of
Brandix took to the stage to showcase their proficiency in singing and
dancing at the finals of two spectacular talent competitions conducted
recently by Brandix.
Men and women from the Group's manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka
sang their hearts out for the 'Brandix Gee Tharuwa' (Brandix Singing
Star) while others brought the stage to life as they danced for the
Brandix Narthana Tharu (Brandix Dancing Stars) at the Sugathadasa Indoor
Stadium.
Conducted with the aim of inspiring the workforce, encouraging
employees to harness their talent and building team spirit, the two
competitions saw six troupes of dancers shortlisted to perform at the
final round of the dancing competition from 22 teams that participated
in the early rounds.
The finals of the singing competition were contested by the four best
singers chosen from 300 who entered the contest.
More than 5,000 from Brandix factories in Sri Lanka, India and
Bangladesh were present to cheer them on, as the finalists wowed the
accomplished professional artistes on the panels of judges with
sparkling performances that were the high point of the 5th annual 'Rasadiya
Mangalya' of the Brandix Group - a day-long celebration of sporting
prowess, work performance and aesthetic talent.
