Transition at Dhammika’s Rocell 'smooth'

Nimal, according to those in his clique, was responsible for bringing Vallibel One to be one of the largest conglomerates in Sri Lanka.

But he was rewarded handsomely for his efforts, the senior businessman's camp insists.

The Perera split was in the making, as far back as two years when Dhammika Perera did his large acquisitions such as Amaya Beach, and the stake in Nawaloka and his hotel foray into Maldives without his 'right hand's assistanc., His faction insists that he won't get anyone else 'close' to Nimal in the future as this was a lesson. “He will not get anyone else to execute his acquisitions in the future," a source close to him, added.
