Blue Mount commend Union Assurance

Blue Mount tea factory located in Thanthriwela, Pinnawela Balangoda was burnt out in its entirety this year - a fire suspected to have originated through the dryer in the factory.

The owner of the factory, H.M. Chaminda Hirikumbura had insured the factory with Union Assurance since 2001, for a sum of Rs.34.5 million.

Hirikumbura was a dejected man. But having paid his premium regularly since the year 2001, barely seven years later, Hirikumbura, through the insurance cover he received a massive Rs.33,950,000.00 for the fire razing his factory and all machinery to the ground.

“I renewed my insurance cover with Union Assurance in 2007, and I am pleased that I have selected Union Assurance as my preferred insurer compensated for the loss incurred on account of the fire at the factory.

As a result I have been able to restart my business by investing on another factory almost immediately with the money I received through my insurance cover. Naturally, I have insured the new factory too with Union Assurance.

Their service was excellent and prompt and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them,” Hirikumbura declared. He went on to say that he intends restoring the burnt factory in the near future.

Union Assurance, and their Ratnapura regional staff on their part, carried out an assessment on the fire.
