So Team Jamaica, Team Trinidad and Tobago also shout out to Team Barbados so its a pleasure to be here with the athletes. This is all under our campaign, if really fits, be unstoppable.”

Bhatti also spoke about BTC’s sponsorship of Blake Bartlett. “He’s a fantastic person. He’s a wonderful team player in sales for us and to find out that he’s an athlete at this level I couldn’t say no. I had to support him in any way I could.”

The Chief Executive says BTC will continue to support sporting events in the country. They are currently sponsoring regattas and will have additional events in the second half of the year. He said, “sports is an important part of what we do, we know it touches a nerve and is so meaningful, so big a part of nation building and community development and athletes.
