Our Story
Nearly Five Decades of Purposeful Enterprise.
From Humble Beginnings to National Prominence
Jaysons Holdings was founded in 1977 by Mr. Vasantha Jayasuriya with a clear and enduring ambition to build enterprises that create lasting value for stakeholders, employees, and the communities they operate within.
Over nearly five decades, the group's growth has been guided by a consistent philosophy disciplined diversification, prudent capital allocation, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. These principles have remained constant across market cycles, sector expansions, and generational transitions.
Today, Jaysons Holdings operates through a portfolio of subsidiaries and brands spanning real estate, hospitality, manufacturing, construction materials, and digital commerce each managed with the same standards of operational integrity and long term thinking that have defined the group since its founding.
A Message from Our Founder
"When I established this enterprise in 1977, my aspiration was straightforward: to build businesses that would endure, that would create meaningful opportunities for the people within them, and that would contribute positively to the society in which we operate."
"As we look ahead, I am confident that the foundations we have laid, the values we uphold, and the talented individuals who comprise this organisation will carry Jaysons Holdings toward its next chapter of purposeful growth."
