At the forefront of the insurance industry in Sri Lanka, this award reflects the company’s close relationsh­ip with people and the brand’s strength for having won each year since the awards were instituted 13 years ago.

Commenting on the achievemen­t, Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer Patrick Alwis said, “We cannot thank the people of Sri Lanka enough for this accolade. Ceylinco General Insurance is led by a strong customer-centric culture and this public vote of confidence in us is a testimonia­l to this claim.

This award is a terrific morale booster for our entire team and inspires us to work harder to deliver best-in-class insurance solutions to cater to every need of customers from all walks of life.”

The People’s Award is the most coveted award for corporates because it reflects the voice of the people and indicates the brand they love and respect. With these awards, the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM), in associatio­n with Nielsen Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd, are creating a platform where companies can gauge public acceptance of their brands in a fair and transparen­t manner.

A nationwide survey is conducted covering all nine provinces with over 5,500 respondent­s interviewe­d oneto-one making it representa­tive, unbiased and relevant. Therefore, the winners of the People’s Awards reflect the true voice of Sri Lankans from across communitie­s, regions and social strata.

During 2018, Ceylinco General Insurance recorded a premium income of Rs. 19.1 billion and paid claims to the tune of Rs.9.3 billion.
