ANSA McAl Trading Ltd has once again shown its commitment to the development of sports by lending sponsorship to Team Gillette Evolution cycling club and outfitting them with new kits. President of Evolution Cycling Club, Keith Fernandes, said that, “Team Evolution is comprised of a number of talented senior cyclists and a large number of veteran cyclists, whose enthusiasm for the sport far outweighs the team’s collective talent.
“I would like to thank Ansa McAl for their support and for recognising our talent. Ansa McAl is the premier company that supports sport in Guyana and we at Team Evolution, now renamed Team Gillette Evolution, are very honoured to be chosen to represent the Gillette brand.”
Fernandes went on to give reassurance by stating that “the value and responsibility of this sponsorship is not lost on us and I can assure you that we will carry the name Gillette with great pride and honour.
The company’s Public Relations Officer, Darshanie Yussuf, said that Team Evolution have proved themselves as the No.1 cycling team in Guyana. As such, Ansa McAl, through its Gillette brand, is more than happy to be associated with such high performance and quality – attributes that Gillette is known for internationally.
The team was formed in early 2015 and has become arguably the top cycling team in the country. This is no small feat considering the short space of time they have been in existence.
Team Gillette Evolution comprises strike riders Orville Hinds, Stephen Fernandes, Raul Leal, Akeem Wilkinson, Michael Anthony and Marlon Williams among others.
