COMPANY BRIEFING THE BUSINESS CHAIRMAN

Blue Diamonds Jewellery Worldwide (BLUE) Manufacture and export of diamond studded gold jewellery. Mr.W. G. B. M. Ranaweera- has experience in International Trade and Fund Management, Corporate treasury Management and Diamond Industry. Recorded a loss of Rs 14 Mn during the year ended 31 March 2011 compared to a loss of Rs 20 Mn in the previous year. However during the previous year there was an exceptional sales return of Rs 39 Mn which reduced the net revenue. Plans to use Sri Lankan coloured gemstones and imported coloured gemstones in order to minimise production cost. Plans to enter into new markets such as Russia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Increasing prices of gold and diamond and lack of qualified and trained staff remain issues.
