Ceylinco Life builds branch in Jaffna

Ceylinco Life has opened a custom-designed office on company-owned land at Kannathiddy Road, Jaffna.

The 30th Ceylinco Life branch to be located in a company-owned building, the branch will be home to 32 sales consultants and eight sales supervisors working under the head of branch.

Ceylinco Life Managing Director and CEO, R. Renganathan recalled that when the company opened its original Jaffna branch in May 2002, it was staffed with just one sales supervisor and 10 sales consultants.

Over the years, Ceylinco Life had set up seven more branches in the district -- two in Nelliady, two in Atchuvely and one each at Chunnakam, Chavakachcheri, and Manipay, and today serves its populace with eight Branch Heads, 42 Agency Supervisors and 201 sales consultants, Renganathan said.

"All of them are well-trained and earn above average incomes. Many of them have their own modes of transport and have built their own homes. We as a company are happy that we have been able to make this contribution," he said. "It is also our intention to further expand in the Jaffna district."

Renganathan also outlined some of the community projects carried out by Ceylinco Life in Jaffna, including the construction of classrooms for three schools at Eralai, Jaffna and Velanai , the donation of a tube well to a school for special children in Kaithady, and a road safety education program for 27 schools.

On the day of the opening of the new Jaffna branch, the company donated medical equipment to six hospitals in Jaffna, Atchuvely, Annaikottai, Tellipalai, Chavakachcheri and Point Pedro.
