Terry Cutting is the managing director of Relentless Nostalgia Manufacturing which is a company that provides locally manufactured natural juices.
The 26-year-old who is passionate about Climate Change and is an ambassador for HEY Caribbean, said the sponsorship with Adopt A Stop, HEY Caribbean and his business was due to him wanting to raise awareness about the dangers of littering through branding and advertising.
“My company teamed up with Adopt A Stop because they are the ones who have a lot of locations across the island for the procurement of advertising and branding on benches and bus stops and this initiative will branch off into bigger and better things,” he said.
Cutting who is a former student of The Lester Vaughan School revealed that his company will also have chillers at various supermarkets outfitted with climate change messaging. The initiative is a partnership with a governmental organization.
“The fleet of display chillers will be going into various retail locations across the island and they will display messages on the climate crisis and recommendations on the following issues which include but are not limited to generate based climate concerns, health and environmental concerns and entrepreneurship. Being a Junior Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in the HEY Global Parliament as a Barbadian representative, my portfolio is aligned with food security as a climate crisis in itself,” he said.
Reflecting on the unveiling of the sign which bears his company’s name on the outside of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Cutting said that he is honoured to have his small business on the sign in the lone state-owned hospital.
“I feel ecstatic as a young businessman at 26 years old as I see myself as a future philanthropist in the making representing state and the people,” he said. Chairman of the Future Centre Trust and CEO of Adopt-A-Stop Barney Gibbs said that they had seen the interest Terry had for climate change and decided to assist him on his journey.
“We met Terry during a tree planting ceremony on the Barbados Trailway. He expressed an interest in fruit trees, especially proper planting techniques and grafting and other practical issues. We wanted to encourage an entrepreneur who takes such a holistic approach to their product and this bench represents that support,” he said.
Project Administrator at The Ashley Lashley Foundation, Rananko Bailey, said that The Hey Campaign Caribbean and the campaign’s founder Ashley Lashley, were pleased to partner with Terry to aid in efforts relating to the climate crisis.
“The HEY Campaign is always in support and elated to have its ambassadors be part of the solution within the climate crisis. Through this support of Terry, this initiative adds to the work and advocacy within the Healthy and Environmentally Friendly Youth Campaign in its global fight against the climate crisis, more particularly in this case, the reduction of litter and other incorrectly disposed waste that daily attributes to various environmental concerns,” he said.
