The Barbados Defence Force in partnership with Sol Barbados Limited received a donation of 11,000 litres of fuel, with a retail value of $28,000.00 BBDS. Sol in its commitment to the Barbadian community and especially in these unprecedented times, continues to be a true-friend and corporate citizen in the fight against COVID-19. This fuel donation will assist the BDF to facilitate the distribution of care relief packages to vulnerable households in Barbados.

In response to the donation, Chief of Staff, Colonel Glyne Grannum stated, “For many years, Sol Petroleum (Barbados) SRL has been one of the Barbados Defence Force’s (BDF) foremost strategic partners. Loyal to their mission, values and promise in the fuel industry, the Sol Group has continuously contributed to the BDF’s mobility on land and at sea. During our fight against the unseen enemy, COVID-19, Sol understood and demonstrated their ability to be a team player and in the true sense of nationhood, made a considerable donation to augment the BDFs capabilities.  As I continue to lead the Force, I am truly comforted to know that in the face of many unknowns, the BDF has the necessary partners and corporate support to be effective”.
