The Guyana Beverage Incorporated (GBI) under its Fruta Brand has signed with Tucville based club Fruta Conquerors for the 20th consecutive year during a simple but significant ceremony yesterday at the Red Cross Headquarters, Eve Leary.
The multi-million dollar deal will include uniforms and several pieces of training equipment for the various levels with the Elite League club.
Samuel Arjoon, Commercial Manager of GBI, said, “GBI’s sponsorship of Fruta Conquerors over the past 20 years is one that should be measured beyond the usual commercial advantages of goodwill within the community, media exposure, increased sales and brand awareness.”
According to Arjoon, “Sponsorship for us at GBI does not mean just money but focus on the development of young people and our communities; Building skills and capacities of the individual player.”
Similarly, Andre Noel, Category Manager-Juices expressed praises for the club’s (Fruta Conquerors) contribution to the country’s football landscape, adding, the club and the company has one similar objective, which is to nurture the talents of Guyanese at all levels.
He further affirmed the company’s commitment to the Tucville institution which is heavily geared towards youth development, positing that the entity is looking forward to the continued success of the club.
Meanwhile, Fruta Conquerors Vice-President Colin Gittens revealed that club will be undertaking numerous infrastructural development projects such as improving the playing area, lighting systems and modernizing the club house.
