Families and supporters of the finalists flooded the Stabroek Market Square to support their favourite contestants. During the first leg of competition, the contestants battled through several challenges. The second leg of competition comprised cake eating, dunk that junk, balloon blow up, question and answers on GTT’s plus sized promotion and a sing off battle.
Quadrupling his competitors’ votes with help from the public was Fernandes. He also scored ample points in the obstacle challenges which led to him emerging the winner.
After being announced the winner of the BMW X1, Fernandes who was elated expressed, “I feel very deserving. I placed my best foot forward and this is the reward I am reaping now. I am just thankful to GTT for affording me such an opportunity and I promise to take good care of the vehicle and drive responsibly.”
An overjoyed Fernandes drove off in his new BMW X1 with his wife and son who both shared his sentiments. However, with the “do more” company everyone left a winner. Copping the second prize was Sean Charles from Agricola, East Bank Demerara. He won for himself $150,000.
Shinella Charles who placed third took home $100,000, followed by Rahamut who walked away with $50,000.
Senior Marketing Executive at GTT and Event Coordinator, Tashandra Inniss, said, “This has been one of the most successful events coming out of GTT. We have managed to meet our targets while still supporting our customers. We are extremely happy about the outcome and we cannot wait for the next big thing.”
Partnering on the promotion with GTT was Guyoil Company which handed over one year free supply of Super 95 Gas to the winner of the BMW X1.
Marketing and Sales Manager at Guyoil, Jacqueline James, said the aim of the partnership was to make the winner’s life relaxed for one year. The car also comes with one year free insurance.
“Guyoil is always about giving back to its customers, not only its corporate customers but our residential customers as well. We look forward to doing more joint partnership with GTT in the future.”
