Raising the Bar – Sacos celebrates excellence and innovation

On Saturday 18^th April 2026 SACOS hosted a special recognition event for its Life Assurance Agents and Brokers, celebrating their dedication, loyalty, and outstanding performance over the period spanning 2023 to 2025. The occasion served not only to honour the top-performing agents and brokers for their achievements, but also to reflect on a significant milestone in the company’s journey, while looking ahead to the future of SACOS Life Assurance.

Held at the prestigious Laila Resort at Anse Royale, the event began with a formal ceremony, welcoming attendees to an afternoon of recognition and forward-looking discussions. During her opening address, Chief Executive Officer, Georgette Capricieuse, expressed her appreciation for the continued commitment shown by the agents and brokers, acknowledging the vital role they play in driving the organisation forward.

A particularly memorable moment followed, as Ms. Capricieuse made a special announcement recognising an exceptional individual achievement. Mr. Simon Hoareau, who began his journey with SACOS in May 1999, was honoured for reaching the highest individual sales figure in the recent years—approaching one million Seychelles Rupees.

Reflecting on this achievement, Mr. Hoareau spoke on the importance of Life Assurance and his standing on the benefits it provides, stating: “I firmly believe that Life Insurance is one of the best financial products out there but unfortunately it does not get the publicity it merits…No other financial product simultaneously creates immediate wealth, guarantees financial security for loved ones, and provides a robust long-term investment plan from day one, by simply agreeing to save regularly.”

When asked on his thoughts to those who are interested in taking up a Life Insurance policy, Mr. Hoareau added: “What is there to think about? You don’t play around with your family’s financial security, or your own, so Life Insurance should be a must, not an option.”

When discussing remaining details of the Agents & Brokers’ contest, the theme for 2026 Life Assurance Contest was launched at the event on Saturday by the Head of Department for Life Assurance, Mr. Daniel Belmont. Inspired by Mr. Hoareau’s accomplishment, the theme for 2026 is “Raising the Bar”. This theme is intended to motivate agents and brokers to push beyond their previous limits, challenge expectations, and strive for even greater success in the year ahead. It reflects a collective ambition to grow, improve, and continue delivering at the highest standard.

The event also provided an opportunity to share key developments and upcoming initiatives designed to strengthen collaboration between agents, brokers, and office teams. Head of Corporate Affairs, Marketing, and Communications – Ms. Rudy Rose – took to the stage to share exciting news on SACOS’ upcoming advancements to the company’s services, products, and communications. She highlighted the importance of continually evolving strategies and refining capabilities to ensure the organisation consistently delivers the high standard of customer experience it strives to achieve.

The event provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to connect, reflect, and celebrate the day’s achievements in a relaxed setting. Overall, the Agency Awards ceremony was well received, successfully combining recognition and forward-looking initiatives while reinforcing SACOS’ commitment to excellence, innovation, and the continued growth of its people.
