Bren Security (Pvt) Ltd, the Sri Lankan partner of the worldwide Securitas AB Group held its “Hard Talk” event for the 12th time at ‘8 Degrees On The Lake’, Cinnamon Lakeside on January 10. Chief Operating Officer, Securitas Asia, Africa & Middle East, Kris Van den Briel was present at the event which was hosted by the Country President/CEO, Securitas Sri Lanka – Major Tissa Aluwihare.
“Hard Talk” is an open forum discussion where clients can express their views and feedback on service. Over the past 25 years, Bren has come to be recognized as the premier security company in Sri Lanka and the main security service provider to the Diplomatic community. Present at the event were Head of EU, Tung-Lai Margue, Ambassador of Egypt, Mohmoud Hisham Assran and Ambassador of the UAE, Abdulhamid A.K. Al-Mulla. The evening commenced on a ‘wild note’ with wild-life enthusiasts and photographers, Raveendra Siriwardena, Milinda Wattegedara and Sadeepa Gunawardena giving an insight into Sri Lanka’s wildlife. This was followed by Stefanie Wege-Aluwihare’s presentation on the planned brand migration from Bren to Securitas, the world’s leading security brand.
Thereafter Major Tissa Aluwihare enlightened the forum on future threat perception, its scope and evolution in recent years, handing over to Mr van den Briel, who briefly spoke on the growing foot print of Securitas. The highlight of the evening, of course, was the actual “Hard Talk”, after which guests gathered on the top deck for another ‘wild treat’ a performance by the electrifying Hikkaduwa drummers, “Elephant Foot”.
