Six sales professionals from Ceylinco Life, Sri Lanka’s life insurance market leader, have earned national recognition for their performance, winning six awards at the 2026 National Sales Awards of the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM).
The awards recognise the achievements of Ceylinco Life’s sales team across three categories, with the winners representing the Company’s Wennappuwa, Middeniya, Negombo and Nugegoda branches.
Lasitha Fernando of the Wennappuwa branch won a Silver award in the Territory Manager category, while J.A. Rathnasiri of the Middeniya branch secured Silver in the Sales Executive category and K. D. L. N. Inoka of the Negombo branch received a Merit award, also in the Sales Executive category.
In the Frontliner category, Rashmi Suraweera of the Negombo branch won Bronze, while Kumuduni Rathnayaka of the Nugegoda branch and Sherman Rukshan of Colombo Special Sales Branch each received Merit awards.
The SLIM National Sales Awards recognise high-performing sales professionals for their achievements and contributions to their organisations, setting benchmarks for excellence in sales at a national level. The 2026 awards program brought together sales professionals from 20 industry categories, with awards presented across nine designations spanning frontline sales, sales management and sales support functions.
The awards are determined through a competitive evaluation process in which nominees are assessed against defined criteria, with judges’ scores determining the level of recognition awarded. Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit awards are presented where entries meet the required standards, meaning that recognition is based on demonstrated achievement rather than simply on participation or finalist status.
