Ceylinco Life begins work on its own building in Batticaloa
Life insurance leader Ceylinco Life has commenced construction of a
showpiece office building in Batticaloa, to significantly enhance its
presence in this east coast town.
The three-storied building at, Lloyd's Avenue, Batticaloa, will
provide the company with 11,136 square feet of office space, out of
which a third, the entire ground floor, will be a customer service area.
The first floor will be utilised as office space, while the top floor
will have a spacious training room that will benefit staff of the
Ceylinco Life's Batticaloa branch as well as those in nearby branches,
the company said.
The custom built building and the 24 perches of land on which it will
stand are owned by Ceylinco Life.
The building is designed for rainwater harvesting, and will be
equipped with split-type air conditioning, a standby generator and a
comprehensive fire fighting system and is to be fitted with energy
efficient LED and T5 lighting. It is expected to be completed in 14
months.
"Batticaloa has been one of our best performing regions, and this
investment in our own purpose designed office will reinforce our
leadership, while providing customers with a more spacious and
comfortable location to interact with our staff," said Ceylinco Life's
Managing Director and CEO Mr. R. Renganathan, who laid the foundation
stone for the new building.
Ceylinco Life has been present in Batticaloa since 2002 and presently
has five branch offices serving the town and its suburbs.
