Thereafter, the company was re-named as Browns Hotels and Resorts Limited and is an aggressive player in the domestic leisure sector under which are Eden resort & Spa and Dickwella Resort & Spa and Green Paradise, Dambulla.
Browns Investments is an investment vehicle which has business interests in manufacturing, constructions, plantation, leisure and hydro power.
