Hugh Ross has billboard erected in his honour at birthplace by Banks DIH
World acclaimed Bodybuilder, Guyanese Hugh Ross, returned to the village of his birth at Eversham, Berbice where a billboard was erected in his honour by local beverage giants Banks DIH Limited.
Ross, who was crowned Mr. Universe in 2010 and currently holds the Masters Over-50 title at the NABBA World Championships he won last June in Ireland, interacted with pupils and teachers of his alma mater, Eversham Primary School during his brief visit to the village on the Corentyne Coast.
International Bodybuilder Guyanese Hugh Ross (with cap) admires the new billboard mounted in his honour at Eversham, Berbice in the presence of Banks DIH Sales and Marketing Executive Carlton Joao and pupils of Eversham Primary School.
The bodybuilding icon who resides in the United States is also the recipient of Guyana’s fifth highest national award, the Medal of Service (MS).
Ross called on the pupils of the school to be disciplined, study hard and to show respect to their elders.
The 90 odds students and teachers of the school were overwhelmed to see him and acting head teacher Neomey Stewart extended a warm welcome to Ross and the visiting party on behalf of the school which has been in existence since 1910 although it is now housed in a building constructed in 1996.
Inscribed on the billboard sponsored by Banks Malta Supreme are the words – “The Village of Eversham salutes Mr. Universe 2010 Mr. Hugh Ross – A proud Berbician.”
Ross is a goodwill ambassador for Banks Malta Supreme, Banks DIH’s non alcoholic malt energy drink.
Carlton Joao, Sales and Marketing Executive of Banks DIH Limited said that Hugh Ross is the perfect ambassador for Malta Supreme because of his healthy lifestyle. “We are extremely pleased to have Hugh Ross partnering with us,” said Joao.
Also present at the ceremony were Banks DIH Communications Manager Troy Peters and Berbice Branch Manager Reginald Matthews and Sales Manager Joshua Torrezao.
