Bupa Insurance to expand SL operations

A press release announced that Ceynergy Insurance Brokers took a step forward with the soft launch held to re-introduce the Global Insurance Giant, Bupa Global Insurance into the local market.
Three consecutive mini events began with the presence of Angus Slater, MD Hong Kong, International Markets, Lee Mathews, Head of Sales, for South East Asia and Australia and Richard Jackson, Head of Intermediary South East Asia at an interactive workshop followed by lunch at the newly constructed Shangri La Hotel, Colombo.

The workshop focused on the local team of Ceynergy agents and was conducted by Bupa with the intention of equipping these individuals with the high standards of being a part of Bupa Global.
With hopes of facilitating a better and smoother claim procedure to the client, the second event which was ‘High Tea’ at the Kingsbury, Colombo saw the heads of both Bupa Global and Ceynergy Insurance interact with the local health care providers, in order to give them better knowledge of their range of services while clarifying their queries in relation to the products and services.
Another first as the opportunity was extended to existing clients who had the invaluable experience of sharing concerns and ideas directly with a leading global health care provider.
