HUTCH is truly a brand that focuses on customers' needs and it is synonymous with the recent 4G network expansion that benefitted a wider customer base. I am looking forward to actively engage with HUTCH subscribers in planned activities including knowledge sharing sessions and interactive workshops.'
Hutchison Telecommunications Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, the local subsidiary of Hong Kong based CK Hutchison Holdings Limited has emerged as a 'force to reckon' among other mobile network operators in Sri Lanka.
