Once again, Sentinel Security Inc is on board with the Berbice Cricket Board. This time is by providing substantial sponsorship for the Berbice Cricket Board fund raiser “Caricom Championship” 2015.

Representative Trevor Ramdeholl receives sponsorship cheque from Mrs Priyta Rampersaud, Manager Berbice area for Sentinel Security Inc.

At a simple presentation ceremony held recently, Mrs Priyta Rampersaud, Manager of the Berbice Branch and sister of Executive Director Mrs Noreen Gaskin said that her company is always willing to help the Berbice Cricket Board in its effort to promote the noble game of cricket. The release stated that Sentinel Security Inc is impressed with the work of the board, hence their willingness to assist whenever the opportunity presents itself. They are also committed to the task of moulding young cricketers in our country and making them better and rounded individuals.
Speaking on behalf of the BCB, Trevor Ramdeholl thanked the security firm for their generous donation and promised that the company will enjoy good mileage for their money. He added that the tournament will be well run with transparency and accountability. Funds from the sponsorship will cover the cost of advertisement, pay for the music and a stipend for the gate attendants. The board is calling on companies and private individuals to support the security firm so that they can continue to make tangible contributions to the communities in which they operate. The board also called on other sponsors to come on board. Special thanks was expressed to Mrs Noreen Gaskin, Executive Director of the company and a good friend of Berbice Cricket.
