Owners of Access Engineering yesterday in a value adding exemplary gesture gifted a 15% stake of the company to its employees.
The ceremony to announce and award the shares at Waters Edge yesterday was emotionally charged with even Access Group Chairman Sumal Perera breaking down in tears during his speech.
Perera, announcing the founder shareholder’s decision to gift 15% of their shareholding of the company to the management and staff of Access Engineering, showed his sentimental side yesterday and had to pause a few times, wipe the tears rolling down his cheek and then continue speaking during an event held at Waters Edge.
