KAMPALA, Uganda — Old Mutual Life Assurance celebrated a year of sustained business growth during its 2025 Agency Awards, recognizing the sales force and managers responsible for the company’s recent success.

The ceremony, held at the Mestil Hotel, focused on the resilience and dedication of agents who have driven the firm’s expansion.

Each of you plays a pivotal role in shaping the success of Old Mutual Life Assurance, and your dedication does not go unnoticed, Kimathi told the attendees.

As part of an evolving reward structure designed to support continued growth, the company transitioned from its traditional grand prize vehicle to a cash award of 6 million Ugandan shillings for the top-performing agent. Other high achievers received international travel packages to Zanzibar and Türkiye, alongside household items and other cash incentives.

The Journey to the Industry Award, which highlights the next generation of business drivers, was awarded to Norah Nakaweesi for new agents and to Rashid Kizito and Grace Nakitende for experienced agents.

Top qualifiers for the international travel delegations included Norah Natumanya, Ruth Tumwijukye, Philip Kasule and Rashid Kizito. The company also recognized the impact of its bancassurance division, honoring Sandra Asiimwe of Pearl Bank as lead generator and Lydia Namulondo and Anita Twikirize of Centenary Bank as top bank service officers.
