Access Group of Companies is one of the fastest growing Sri
Lankan corporate entities, with it's core business and
growth primarily deriving from trading activities,
infrastructure development projects and engineering
services.
The Group represents prestigious International Companies
throughout Sri Lanka and Asia in a wide area of business
activities.
Since inception, the company has been highly successful in
securing major projects for infrastructure development of
Sri Lanka, funded by Agencies such as Japanese OECF, World
Bank and ADB etc.
In addition the Group has the franchise for many
World-renowned brands for domestic sales.
Having had intensely close relationships with leading
Japanese trading companies, it's long-term objective and
growth is based on the same principles of the Japanese "Sagashosa"
vision.
The company draws its strength from its core management
group consisting of six group directors and other divisional
heads working as separate Departments and Companies. They
are treated as completely separate entities and given the
freedom to work on their own initiative and be responsible
for decision-making in their areas of business. The
resulting strength of each unit thus contributes to the
overall strength of the Group.
The Company has a well-developed sense of corporate
citizenship. The Group takes a great interest in the
personal development of it's staff and their families and
promotes sports in Sri Lanka giving special emphasis for the
development of sports in the outstations.

Whenever I reflect on the past 10 years' history of the
Access Group, which I had the privilege of founding, I must
confess to a sense of surprise and wonder.
When we started in 1990, our main goal was definitely to
survive as a new business entity and ensure the livelihood
of those who had faith in me.
The success and growth of Access during its first 10 years
is just reward for the dedication, commitment and
perseverance with
which we have pursued our business objectives. Although
different reasons may be attributed in different forums, it
is my firm belief and conviction that the 3 main reasons for
the success and growth of Access are its people, people and
people.
We started a company as a simple concept and today stand as
one of the most dynamic and progressive business entities in
Sri Lanka. What we have achieved up to now would be more
than enough for most companies. But it definitely is not
enough for Access. Frankly it does not surprise me. Some of
the best human resources in the country are available at
Access; their energy and adventurous spirit would, I
believe, sustain the same level of growth even in difficult
global conditions.
Our short term and long term goals remain the same. While
consolidating and making existing enterprises even stronger,
we shall continue on an aggressive growth plan of entering
vital new businesses and markets with innovative products
and services.
Today we are a recognized force in many areas. Plans of
expanding even more are made with the supreme confidence
that we would succeed in every Endeavour we undertake. Ten
years ago I would not have believed it, but at the end of
the next 10 years I can assure you I would not be surprised.
I have seen this company do too many amazing things to be
surprised in the future. While I cannot wait to see what we
will do next, I can assure you as the Founder, what you can
expect from Access in the future is definitely more than
perfection, something closer to magic and miracles.
God Bless Access
