Raffles celebrates 24 years of excellence

Raffles, founded by Tony Bohoran in 1999, marks its 24th anniversary as a leader in Sri Lanka’s banquet and catering industry. Starting from one man’s commitment to deliver unparalleled excellence, the brand has remained resilient against all adversities, including the recent economic crisis and pandemic. After a successful rebound in the 2023 financial year, Raffles now looks to expand its horizons to new avenues, marking a new chapter for the legacy Tony has created.

“We started out with just me and one employee in a 500 square foot space, and we’ve come a long way since then,” Tony Bohoran reflected. Today, Raffles is among the leading player in the food and beverages sector, all thanks to his never-ending commitment to constantly innovate, delivering on Raffles’ promise of dedication, professionalism, excellence, quality and great value. “It’s the core of everything that we do, and the reason behind the long-lasting customer relationships we’ve developed in the past.”

“In a word, ‘Resilience’ is the best word to describe last year, but 2024 will be a year of ‘Exploration,’” shared Tan Bohoran from Raffles’ Board of Directors, revealing Raffles’ entry into hospitality management, focusing on hotels and restaurants as the brand prepares to celebrate 25 years in 2024. As part of this new beginning, the brand welcomes newly appointed CEO Upul Gamage. With over four decades of experience in the hospitality industry, his oversight will help Raffles navigate in their brave new adventure.

Sharing his excitement to join and be part of, “this momentous point of Raffles’ journey,” Gamage commended the dedication and hard work of all who helped elevate the Raffles brand. “24 years of Raffles is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all.” He shared that the brand’s exploration in hospitality management begins with a 40-room hotel in a stunning location at scenic Dambulla, the first of many exciting highlights for 2024.

Taking on new challenges while delivering uncompromising excellence, Raffles is poised for growth, taking on new directions and adventures. Tony Bohoran’s legacy and Raffles’ journey of growth and exploration continue, promising a bright future for the renowned brand.
