Since 2019, The Coralisle Group Ltd. (CG), and its newest addition CG United Insurance Ltd. (CG  United), have been proud sponsors of the Cricket West Indies team. During the first year of  sponsorship, CG organized a competition at the Super50 Cup in January 2020 called “Gear Up for Wellness.” Participants used stationary bikes to compete to win a grand prize of two round trip flights  to the UK, accommodation, and tickets to see the Windies play in London. One of those winners was Wesley Mosely, a then 14-year-old local Barbadian who is a self-proclaimed superfan of the men in maroon.  

In a scenario that’s been repeated countless times, the pandemic struck and future planning for all organizations that included travel or sport evaporated. This included the grand prize that Wesley  Mosely had won in the “Gear Up for Wellness” challenge.  

Aiming to keep the promise made, the leadership team at CG made the commitment to honour the  prize as soon as it was possible to do so when travel was safe and the match schedules were no  longer reactionary to the uncertain effects of spread of Covid-19. 

Earlier this month, and almost three years later, CG was able to coordinate and deliver on their promise, sending Wesley, now 16-years-old, to meet the Windies players and watch them play India  in the fifth and final T20s at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida.  

Wesley reports “the first-hand experience of getting to meet some of the West Indian cricketers I look up to and admire was truly an amazing experience. Some of the things I enjoyed most about this trip to Florida was getting to interact with some of my favourite players, such as Nicholas Pooran and  Jason Holder and meeting other West Indian cricket fans.” He concludes “I could not have asked for a better trip than what I had experienced in the 4 days I was in Florida with CG United.” 

Naz Farrow, CEO of Coralisle Group Ltd. notes, “as a regional insurer that’s been in business for over  60 years, it has always been imperative we keep the commitments we make to our clients, staff and  in this case, prize-winners. We are thrilled Wesley was able to enjoy this experience and will continue  to keep our promises, supporting the people and communities in which we live and work.”
