Freisenbruch-Meyer Group's Sharon Donowa has become the first Bermudian to be awarded membership into the exclusive London Life Executive Club.

The senior sales adviser achieved significant sales figures and a 95 percent persistency rate so far in 2010 to qualify for membership in the Canadian financial services company's club to benefit high-performing staff.

London Life provides retirement and investment, insurance, mortgage, group benefits and savings plan products.

The privileges of club membership include global recognition, attendance at the 2010 Insurance and Investment Strategies Summit in Montreal, priority handling of all clients enquires and a monetary rewards card.

Freisenbruch-Meyer offers life insurance products through London Life, itself a subsidiary of The Great-Wall Life Assurance Company, which along with its subsidiaries serves the financial security needs of more than 12 million people across Canada.

James Leman, vice-president of group employee benefits at Freisenbruch-Meyer, said: "Sharon has certainly been an integral part in the development of our life product.

"She is a joy to have on our team and her enthusiasm and dedication to her job are second to none. We are proud of her accomplishments and it comes as no surprise that she has been awarded membership into the London Life Executive Club."

Ms Donowa said: "The most interesting part of my work is developing a sound relationship with the clients and guaranteeing their needs are met.

"Most people are not taught that life insurance is a part of their complete financial planning and only think of it after a life-changing event, but it is an important part of a family's financial security at every stage of life.

"This accomplishment is a reflection of my commitment to our community to ensure that every family in Bermuda has obtained life insurance."
