Each year we have been able to increase our MDRT member count, I see this as a monument to the drive, strength and resilience of our sales force who operate in a very competitive market.

“Our sales force is armed with a well-crafted product suit as well as state of the art digital platforms. Further, the array of benefits that we provide them ensures that their personal dreams and aspirations too are fulfilled. Whilst wholeheartedly congratulating each and every one on their performance and success, I take this opportunity to thank the Sales Training and Development Team as well as the Distribution Management and Bancassurance Management teams for a job well done.”

HNBA Chief Operating Officer Lasitha Wimalaratne shared his views stating, “This lifelong achievement is a very significant milestone in the journey of an insurance professional’s career and there’s much hard work, dedication and commitment behind this achievement. As a leading Insurer in the country, our Distribution Management team have always pushed our Sales Force to achieve the impossible and to create a real difference in the industry, and I truly hope that this count would double up next year and I wish them strength, success and confidence to reach much greater heights in their journey.”
