–Golden Grove man now owner of brand new motor car

AT a simple ceremony last Saturday, folks at Tony’s Auto Spares, at Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara, handed out prizes to the winners of their 2014 ‘Kick Off Promotion.’

Those receiving prizes were the lucky customers whose names had been drawn from a rotisserie when Tony’s conducted a special drawing at its Light Street, Alberttown, Georgetown location on Friday last.

Among the happy winners was the still shocked Marlon Andrews of Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara, who was actually the first to place coupons in the rotisserie when the promotion commenced on June 12, 2014. He has won for himself a spanking new Nissan March motorcar.

Other winners included Avinash Chatterpaul, Sharon Budhoo and Mulchand Persand of De Hoop, Mahaica, who all won hampers consisting of items for the care of their cars.

A special drawing was conducted for the benefit of the media, and Kaieteur News’ Frankie Wilson was the lucky winner.

Speaking at the function, Tony’s CEO, Tony Ramcharran, congratulated the winners and informed them that the promotion was a resounding success. He added that the entity hopes to give out two more cars before the end of 2014.

He said the promotions are actually the company’s initiative to ‘give back to customers’ who have been supporting them over the twenty years of their operation.

Marlon Andrews was elated at his luck. He explained that he has never previously won anything at any commercial promotion, and urged Guyanese to support the entity even as he vowed that he would continue to be a loyal customer of the entity’s.

Andrews’s coupon was drawn on Friday from amongst more than two thousand others that were submitted by customers. And he certainly enjoyed double luck by winning himself a car care hamper as well.
