The general insurance industry of Sri Lanka is a highly-competitive industry and is often threatened by adverse economic conditions and natural catastrophes. The efforts and dedication of our sales teams have helped in establishing the brand in the market within a short span of time and I’m extremely pleased about the results showcased during the previous year.”

Addressing the gathering, HNBA and HNBGI Managing Director/CEO Deepthi Lokuarachchi said: “The agency force of HNBGI consists of outstanding and competent sales professionals across the country and within a short span of time we have been successful in strengthening our footprint in the general insurance market. Our other units such as broker teams and takaful teams too have done exceptionally well and together have been able to put on a great performance which we are celebrating today in this very beautiful manner.”

HNBGI Chief Business Officer Jude Benjamin thanked all sales teams for their constant and tireless efforts to strengthen the ‘HNBGI’ brand name in the market, stating: “Our rapid growth is a result of the steady performance of our agents and sales teams and the emergence as an innovative general insurance provider.”
