Asia Asset Finance PLC recently opened its new Training and Development Centre in Kurunegala, marking a defining investment in the company’s most powerful asset: its people.
At a time when financial institutions are increasingly judged not only by size, profit or reach, but by governance, ethics, service quality and public trust, the new centre carries a deeper message. It signals that the future of financial services will not be built by systems alone, but by people who are trained with purpose, guided by values and committed to responsible service.
The Kurunegala Training and Development Centre has been designed as a dedicated learning hub to support induction programs, residential training workshops, management development sessions and continuous professional training. It will enable Asia Asset Finance PLC to shape employees from the beginning of their journey, helping them understand the company’s culture, values, ethical standards, operational discipline and long-term career opportunities.
With training areas, accommodation facilities, dining and kitchen facilities, office and administration spaces and support facilities, the centre is positioned as a long-term strategic asset.
The new facility is also expected to support employee retention and engagement by giving new recruits a structured pathway to grow within the organisation. More importantly, it will reinforce governance, compliance, internal controls and ethical responsibility, areas that are central to protecting customers, shareholders and the reputation of the financial sector.
Commenting on the opening, Roshan Gunasekara ,Chief operating officer of Asia Asset Finance PLC, said: “This centre represents our belief that sustainable growth begins with people. As Asia Asset Finance PLC expands across Sri Lanka, we must ensure that every employee carries the same values of integrity, responsibility, service excellence and customer care. This Training and Development Centre is not simply an investment in infrastructure; it is an investment in the future character, capability and strength of our organisation.”
As Asia Asset Finance PLC continues to grow across leasing, gold loans, fixed deposits, mortgage loans, business finance and other customer-focused solutions, the opening of this centre sends a powerful message: strong financial institutions are not built only with capital, branches and products. They are built with character, discipline and people who believe in the purpose of the brand.
Backed by 55+ years of legacy in Sri Lanka’s financial services sector, an asset base of over Rs. 50 billion, a Fitch A+(lka) rating, a growing 120 branch network and the strength of being the only Sri Lankan subsidiary of Muthoot Finance, one of India’s largest and most respected financial services groups, Asia Asset Finance PLC continues to strengthen its position as a trusted licensed finance company.
