Organized by
The National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka
Akin to the lotus that blooms in all its glory above the impure muddy water whilst remaining unsmeared the Business Excellence Awards Trophy is created by Dienge for the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka to honour those Sri Lankan business houses who have excelled in their fields of business. The tiered base symbolizes the initial ascent of the business ladder from the formative stages of a company’s life where an input of much dedication and hard work would have been observed. Rapid growth would have followed to the upper levels of the ladder in terms of quality and fame as denoted by the pillar of the trophy. The pillar tops out to an inverted set of steps where the landing depicts stability. This supports an intricately handcrafted lotus blossom with hand-embossed petals of traditional motifs. The inverted set of steps is created to symbolize the stupendous effort needed to rise to the very top akin to climbing an overhang of rock on a mountain face. The summit contains the aforesaid lotus bloom in all its splendour denoting the purity, prosperity and fame and glory that the business houses who have reached the highest levels of excellence enjoy. This brochure too was developed on the same concepts as the awards trophy by Dienge whose forte is conquering territories in creativity be it designer jewellery, precious artifacts, oil paintings and art enhanced photography. The services of Dienge are personalized and customized to suit the individual needs of the clients.
