Union Assurance General (UAG), now under the corporate umbrella of Canadian-based Fairfax Financial Holdings, successfully concluded its Annual Awards Ceremony for the year 2014 recently at Waters Edge.

When setting out to compete in the commercial arena, it takes the fittest to survive and succeed, to command and conquer. In essence, we are warriors at war. This year’s event, which was conceptualized along the lines of warriors in a battlefield and themed ‘Dare to be Extraordinary’ was intended to convey this message.

This ceremonial event awards the topmost achievers of the UAG sales force by recognizing their efforts and dedication to surpass the company’s objectives. Moreover, the infusion of international experience and knowledge from Fairfax has given UAG new direction and renewed vigour enabling the staff to excel within the industry.

With a total of 66 award winners including 49 sales staff and 17 service champions, the event recognized and rewarded exceptional or rather extraordinary individuals that surpassed all boundaries and challenges to prove themselves the best of the best.

General Manager Marketing and Distribution Nihal Handunge commented, “Our employees are our greatest asset and we truly appreciate their efforts. Of all our employees, this flagship event is meant to recognize and reward the very best staff members who have excelled in delivering high-quality advice and service, thereby creating benchmarks within UA for others to follow.”

The event was attended by Fairfax Asia Ltd Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Ramaswamy Athappan, members of the board of directors, senior management and employees.

The apex award – Champion of Champions was awarded to Corporate Business Development Unit Senior Manager Eric Upashantha, while the Best Branch and Best Region awards were picked up by the Galle branch and Kandy region, respectively.
