HNB Assurance kicks off 2025 with New Year Business Launch celebrating Advisor Distribution Channel

HNB Assurance recently held its New Year Business Launch for 2025, celebrating the outstanding progress of its Advisor Distribution Channel throughout 2024. The event served as a platform to honor high-performing managers while reflecting on key achievements from the past year. Among these notable accomplishments were a remarkable 23% growth in New Business Premiums (NBP) and an exceptional performance in Gross Written Premiums (GWP), which exceeded 6 billion LKR.

Addressing the forum, Lasitha Wimalaratne, CEO of HNB Assurance, stated, “2024 was a fantastic year for us. Our growth in NBP and GWP shows how committed and capable our Advisor Distribution team is. These achievements motivate us to keep pushing boundaries and set new benchmarks in delivering exceptional customer-centric solutions and services.”

“As we step into 2025, we need to operate with empathy and care, because at the end of the day, we are not just selling a product, we are delivering a promise of protection and peace of mind. This will help us build trust and by earning trust and endorsement through our actions and commitment, we can strengthen our relationship and build long-term loyalty with our policyholders. Let me assure you that this mindset, combined with our ability to adapt and innovate, will enable us to sustain and accelerate the incredible growth we have maintained in recent years.”

Harindra Ramasinghe, Chief Business Officer, Advisor Distribution Channel, sharing his thoughts at the forum, said: ”What we have accomplished over the years is not the result of an individual’s effort, but rather a testament to the power of our teamwork. Every step we take and have taken is a combined effort, which includes everyone from our SBU Heads, Zonal Managers, Regional Managers, Branch Managers, Underwriters, Training Staff and our sales team etc. Each of you play an essential role in driving our success. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to every member of the team for their hard work and contribution.”
