UK High Commissioner visited two companies in Horana

H. E. John Rankin, British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, visited the operations of two UK-based garment companies in Sri Lanka – Coats Thread and Quantum Clothing. The High Commissioner visited the factories of the two companies in Horana town, in order to get an insight into customer-supplier cooperation between the two companies.

This is my first visit to a garment factory in Sri Lanka. I think Sri Lankan products continue to be in high demand in the clothing sector in the United Kingdom, especially with higher end quality products for which it is renowned. I have been impressed by what I have seen here in terms of the quality and the production and labour conditions are great here and along with that the connection between the UK and Sri Lanka continues to get stronger, stated the High Commissioner
