Incentive for Delmege distributors staff

Delmege Distributors [Pvt.] Ltd, a subsidiary of the Delmege Forsyth Group of Companies, offered an incentive of a 3 day all expenses paid trip to Bangkok to their entire staff in the event of the Company's budgeted net profit being doubled, and indeed it was! "We not only achieved the stretched target of doubling the budgeted bottomline, but surpassed it as well", said the justifiably pleased Group CEO of the Delmege Forsyth Group, Dilhan de Silva. This was indeed a commendable performance given the tough market conditions that prevailed for most part of the financial year 2008/2009.

A total of 90 staff members went to Bangkok from the peon right up to the CEO, in what was a rewarding, enjoyable and unifying experience for all concerned.
