HNB Life continues to strengthen its position as one of Sri Lanka’s most people-centric organisations, securing the prestigious Company with Great Managers recognition for the fourth consecutive year at Great Manager Awards 2025. 

Seven of its outstanding leaders, Alan Baker, Rangamal Bandara, N. Galagedera, Lalith Hapangama, Ruwan Chandana, Hiran Chandimal and Shanil De Silva, were individually recognised at Great Manager Awards 2025, highlighting the depth of leadership excellence across the organisation.

The recognition comes at a defining moment in the company’s journey, as HNB Assurance evolves into HNB Life, marking a bold new chapter built on a 25-year legacy of trust. 

While the brand steps forward with renewed purpose, its foundation remains deeply rooted in a people first culture that prioritises growth, inclusivity and excellence.

HNB Life Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Lasitha Wimalaratne stated, “Firstly, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our Great Manager Award winners. Being named a Company with Great Managers for the fourth consecutive year is a proud reflection of the strength and consistency of our leadership culture. As we embrace our transformation into HNB Life, this recognition holds even greater significance. As we aspire to grow and reach new heights, it is this strong foundation of leadership that will continue to guide our journey.”

Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer Navin Rupasinghe added, “Our culture has always been our greatest differentiator. This recognition reflects the environment we have created, one where individuals feel valued, supported and inspired to grow. I would also like to extend my sincere congratulations to our Great Manager Award winners, who continue to set the benchmark for leadership within the organisation. As the company moves forward, we remain committed to equipping our people with the right tools, guidance and opportunities to grow, ensuring they not only deliver results but also shape the future of those around them.”
