Speaking at the Kickoff Session, Group Executive Deputy Chairman of MTD Walkers PLC, Mr. Jehan Amaratunga said:

The sustained investment in large infrastructure projects will continue to drive revenue growth for us and we expect to leverage on our strength as the only infrastructure developer able to perform the entire spectrum of infrastructure development activities to continue beating the industry growth numbers.
We have forged ambitious growth plans, and to realize these plans, we need to operate with a holistic view of projects and align the organization to maximize the profit conversion of this spectacular revenue growth. The creation of shareholder wealth through this programme and other initiatives already underway will reflect on our share price over the next few quarters. He elaborated that MTD Walkers PLC is pleased to work with MTI Consulting and MTI’s Bahrain-based CEO Hilmy Cader who have impressive credentials in Strategic Planning, both in Sri Lanka and the region.”
