About Us
Our History
In 1979, this company began its operations in a small office on Flower Road, primarily functioning as Insurance Agents of the Government Insurance Corporations in existence then. In 1988, the liberalization of the Insurance Industry paved the way for the company to operate formally as Insurance Brokers and we were amongst the very first companies getting an Insurance Broking License.
From its beginnings in a small office using a handful of staff, today Senaratne’s operates from a suite in the Liberty Plaza, Colombo 03. Our highly trained staff includes 3 people who are Chartered Insurance Brokers. We were the first company in Sri Lanka to have been investigated by Lloyd’s of London and found to be a suitable organization to act as a Lloyd’s Cover holder.
Thus, in 1988 we were granted the status of “Lloyd’s Correspondents” in Sri Lanka, which speaks for our professionalism and experience in insurance. Unfortunately in actual practice, it was not possible to give meaningful effect to this prestigious appointment by reason of the insurance regulatory terms applying in Sri Lanka.
We also provide international healthcare services on behalf of BUPA International as well as AVIVA International.
