Union Assurance PLC recently held the Mid-year Awards 2021 to honour its top achievers. Over 300 employees in the Agency cadre, Bancassurance and corporate sales divisions were recognised during the event for their exceptional performance.

Chief Executive Officer Jude Gomes commended the award winners for delivering exceptional results. “Their achievements are particularly remarkable given the fact that 2021 was a challenging year,” he said. According to Gomes, the team keeps aiming higher and in the process is creating greater interest for Life Insurance in Sri Lanka.

Union Assurance Chief Distribution Officer Senath Jayathilake said the success of the top achievers was due to their professionalism and service excellence. “Their commitment and dedication are truly laudable. I’m extremely proud of our team. They have shown that persistence and hard work are the hallmarks of success,” he added.

The awards were presented in the five categories of bronze, silver, gold, diamond and platinum. The winners were categorised based on their performance in terms of FYPN (First Year Premium New), NOP (Number of Policies), Premium Persistency and annual award winner production for leader categories. The ceremony was a virtual event and was enlivened with a performance by musical artist Falan Andrea.
