Guest speakers, awards evening and more.

This year, Betta Stores Retail (BSR) took its national conference to Colombo, Sri Lanka. With over 250 delegates, it was the largest conference on record for the BSR Group.

BSR chief marketing officer, Adrian Mitchell told Appliance Retailer, “The event was a wonderful opportunity to take time away from our businesses and reflect on the journey we have embarked on to get to this point. Whilst also keeping a keen eye on what we need to achieve in order to remain ‘fit for the future’ – the theme of our conference.”

There were presentations from the BSR senior management, as well as advice from guest speakers including Darren Palmer, Lisa Curry and Mark Latham. Local Sri Lankan icons, Dananjaya Hettiarachchi, 2014 World Toast Master Champion and Merille Fernando, founder of Dilmah Tea.

The awards dinner celebrated the success of the past 12 months and recognised members for their efforts over the year.
