As a fitting prelude to the May 1, celebrated worldwide every year as‘International Workers Day’, Crysbrobrought together 900 members of theirstaff andmanagement, to a grand celebration at their Head Quarters in Gampola recently.

Organised by the Crysbro Employees Welfare Society, this was a fun-filledoutdoor event with a festive atmosphere, while offering awards, prizes, gifts and tokens, entertainment by popular artistes, together with exciting activities for all, culminating in a grand dinner celebration. As Crysbro Group’s breeding centres, processing plants, factories, mills and farmlandsare dispersed across many parts of the island, workers from these areas were transported to the venue and back, adding to their enjoyment and fond memories of the celebrations.

Crysbro Day was graced by the Managing Director of Crysbro Group, Mr. Mohamed Imtiaz, members of the Board of Directors, senior management and well-wishers.

Adding a unique touch to the celebrations was the welcome accorded to the invitees by members of the ‘Adhivasi’ community or Veddha’s as they are popularly known, who were specially brought over to performtheir traditional dance at the event.

The highlight ofCrysbroDay was the presentation of brand new houses to members of the staff, who were chosen after a careful evaluation by theCrysbro Employees Welfare Society, who undertook field visits and carried out needs-assessment.

Four employees received new houses, while another Nine were provided financial assistance to carry out renovations to their homes. Since 2013, Crysbro has offered, as outright gifts, 15 new houses to its employees, with another 22 receiving cash for carrying out renovations.
