Ceylon Plantation Co was one of the earliest companys floated in Ceylon for the cultivation of coffee, cinchona, and later, tea. George Wall took up the acting managership of company on his arrival in Ceylon in 1846, until he went to Colombo in 1850 to open his own business. The office of the company was in Kandy and George Wall took up his residence at Haramby (or Aramba) House which was subsequently occupied by the Kandy Club in the 1890s and is now the Hotel Suisse.
