In his remarks the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia Hon. Stephenson King said that it was indeed an honour to join WLBL as they made public the announcement of the achievement of Rooster Select. “The high international quality recognition you received is testimony to the emphasis you place on developing products of excellence and for this I commend you and applaud you,” King said. Tessa Mangal who also spoke expressed elation on behalf of the Government and People of Saint Lucia. “Tonight we gather
to celebrate the achievement of your newest brand Rooster Select dark brew which has just won WLBL and Saint Lucia another gold medal. This brings to seven the number of medals won by WLBL over the years. The number of medals won over the years says emphatically that WLBL has succeeded and continue to be motivated to excel,” Mangal said. Brian Louisy said he could not believe that it was just nine months since he took part in the launch of the product at Bay Gardens and joined WLBL in celebrating
their achievement. “It says a lot about Saint Lucia and the potential of our manufacturers and that we can compete in the global market,” Lousiy said. The night however was not just talk but in keeping with a true celebration the music of the Diamond Steel orchestra filled the air, whilst the music of the Derek Yarde Project had the WLBL staff and their guests dancing as they shared in food and drinks, with some Rooster included of course.
