In the Frontliners category, Amila Withanaarachchi, Madushanka Prabath and Buddika Kodithuwakku were awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze awards, respectively.
The biggest achievement of the night was Amila Wijeratne winning the Silver award for the best territory manager across all industries.

We have clinched the Gold in the Territory Manager and Frontliner categories for three consecutive years. We have claimed eight awards in total this year as well and these awards are clear sentiment of the sheer commitment and the outstanding performance of our sales team in the healthcare industry and beyond when Amila Wijeratne stole the Silver award for the best territory manager across all product and service industries.
