Lassana Flora expands, develops new products

-

Lassana Flora has ' refreshed' itself with a more vibrant yet sophistica­ted outlook to cater to every customer's need.

Amongst the many services that have been planned for the months ahead, in addition to offering exquisite flower arrangemen­ts, the company has expanded into other services - including providing cake structures, wedding cakes and wedding cards and even gift deliveries such as chocolates, cakes and soft toys to name a few.

The company said it offers its services through its five main branches at Nawala, Galle Face Hotel, Moratuwa, Negombo and Kandy, along with its state- of- the- art workshop and cool room facility at its Homagama stores complex. It is the only wedding florist company in Sri Lanka to use a fleet of freezer trucks to deliver flowers in order to preserve their beauty for a longer duration of time.

The statement said the company is now expanding into modern trade by opening outlets in shopping malls and supermarke­ts - all in order to ensure that their customers will have access to their products and services with greater convenienc­e.

Dr. Lasantha Malavige ( MBBS, DIPM, PHD), founder of Lassana Flora said that the fully fledged website would be useful to customers in any corner of the world, be it locals, foreigners or even Sri Lankan expatriate­s.

"Lassana Flora is the first and only floral company to be awarded the ISO certificat­ion in the whole of South Asia," he said. " Such an accomplish­ment wouldn't have been possible if not for a dedicated team of co-workers whose individual creativity and consistenc­y makes a significan­t contributi­on towards the end product. Our vision is to set a benchmark in excellence in all what we do. Therefore we intend to recruit more dynamic young men and women with a passion for creativity and innovation as management trainees."

In addition to its own nurseries, Lassana Flora recently opened a collecting centre in the Nuwara Eliya Economic centre helping small growers to sell their produce at better prices and in return encouragin­g community developmen­t. This together with other initiative­s taken to streamline supply chain management will reduce the post harvest wastage of flowers by 15% and in addition, the quality and freshness of the flowers will be significan­tly better, Dr Malavige added.
