Alliance Group offers ‘one stop lifestyle store’ for home and officeware

Alliance Group launches Alliance Space:

The Alliance Group, a public quoted company with over half a century in the financial services sector, launched Alliance Space, a one stop lifestyle store catering for both home as well as office interiors.

“Space Homeware and Space Officeware will offer the discerning customer a range of high quality products and services which include all types of furniture and accessories, bathroom ware, tap fittings; in fact the entire range of products required when setting up your home or office”, said Deputy Chairman and Joint Managing Director, Alliance Group Romani de Silva.

Chairman Alliance Group, Pratapkumar de Silva said that in their half century of operation they had served over three generations of customers who had placed their trust in the Alliance Group. This unique range of products and services he said is also backed by the reliable business experience of five decades.

Romani de Silva said that the brand new Alliance Space Homeware showroom at D.S. Senanayake Mawatha, Colombo eight, stocked world renowned brands which included Index furniture from Thailand, Kalevit sanitaryware from Turkey and Ottone Meloda designer tap fittings from Italy.

“These world-renowned brand names incorporating a vast selection of models from designer high end to mid level value are now on offer at Space Homeware, promoted under the tag line of ‘Creative Homes for Better Living’, where our customers can mix and match their requirements to suit their individual homes and lifestyles”, said Romani de Silva.

He went on to say that customers had the added advantage of being able to avail themselves of Space financial services provided through Alliance Finance. A wide variety of easy payment schemes are available for all purchases where payments can be made over a period of 24 months. Corporate customers can also pay for complete turnkey interior projects in monthly instalments without burdening their cash flows.

Assistant General Manager Alliance Space Homeware, Raveen Kulendra, elaborating on the Space logo, said it symbolised creativity and making maximum use of available space. “It turns around any particular space and creates a whole new ambience. It also involves adopting our concepts in using our designer products as well as easy payment schemes, to create an interior that suits each and every individual customer and that is the concept of Space Homeware”.

Through this novel concept Alliance Space Homeware offers customers a complete fully equipped bathroom has comprised of the sanitaryware, tapware and tiles on easy payment terms. The showroom has many different models of complete designer bathrooms on display to suite different budgets. This is the first time in Sri Lanka that a customer can buy a complete bathroom on 24 instalments. As most home builders experience cash flow difficulties towards the end of the construction period of the house, it is believed that this unique scheme will offer great value to home builders in Sri Lanka enabling them to go in for the design of their original choice without compromising on the quality due to cash flow restrictions.

“We could also handle work such as lighting, cabling, partitioning, etc. through our Associate Company Alliance Business Solutions”, said Kulendra. Our furniture and accessories have also been utilised for mock up apartments by condominium projects such as Ayu, Hedges Court and Green Path Residencies.

Yet another service offered by Alliance Space Homeware is that any customer who makes a purchase of over Rs. 250,000 could make use of the Space interior advisors who would offer them advice on how best to decorate furnish their homes entirely free of charge.

For this purpose Alliance Space has two full time Interior Designers as well as working relationships with some of the leading Interior Designers in Colombo.

“In addition we also have a dealer network of about 40 retailers islandwide who are handling Ottone Meloda tap fittings and Roca-Kale sanitaryware,” added Raveen.

Romani de Silva said they would soon be introducing the re-branded Alliance Space Officeware range at yet another showroom, which would include high end, durable ‘Artak Design’ and ‘Bluepower’ branded furniture, with Space Officeware too offering turnkey interior design solutions and corporate easy payment schemes for large turnkey projects.
