The Commercial Bank of Ceylon recently honoured 109 employees for 25 years of loyal service at the 2018 edition of the Bank’s annual Seniority Awards ceremony.
Themed ‘Celebrating 25 years of shared prosperity and achievement,’ the gala at the Cinnamon Grand hotel was attended by Commercial Bank Chairman Mr Dharma Dheerasinghe as Chief Guest, the Bank’s Managing Director/CEO Mr S. Renganathan, members of the Board of Directors, and members of the Bank’s corporate and senior management.
Each employee was recognised with a valuable gift and a certificate in appreciation of his or her service.

Members of the families of felicitated staff were invited to the celebrations that followed the ceremony.
Addressing the event, Commercial Bank Chairman Mr Dharma Dheerasinghe commented on how an organisation and its employees can create mutual value in a long term employment and commended the employees for their loyal service. Lauding the employees for their exemplary service, the Bank’s Managing Director Mr S. Renganathan also thanked the families of all staff members for supporting their loved ones to achieve this monumental feat.
