I had an opportunity to work with Rukshan for 2.5 years. Rukshan was an asset to our team and has always worked in a professional manner. Rukshan is very friendly, hard working, respected and liked by his colleagues. Rukshan has always had a can do attitude and always willing to help. During his time with NNR he helped other departments including Customer Services and did a wonderful job. Rukshan learnt our system very quickly and was able to find new and faster ways of doing tasks. Overall it was a pleasure working with Rukshan and I wish him and his family all the best.
