More Than a Ride: Why We Bet on Our People

October 13, 2025

We at pickUP were proud to sponsor De Bajan Travellers national team to compete at the FEMUNDO World Domino Championships, held in Barbados last month (September 24-27). The moment was made even sweeter when our very own pickUP driver, Carlos Hinkson, was voted MVP.

Sponsoring our driver and his team was not a one-off shout-out. It’s a statement about how we see our members: as partners, community leaders, and ambassadors. Here’s why that matters to us:

  • Empowerment breeds excellence. People who feel supported go further, both on the job and beyond.
  • Community trust grows when we invest locally. Backing a local player on the world stage shows we put our money where our values are.
  • Mutual wins = better service. Recognition and development lead to happier drivers, safer rides, and stronger customer experience.
  • Long-term thinking beats short-term cuts. Sponsorships and development build loyalty and reputation that last.

We’ll always bet on our people, because when drivers shine, the whole community rides higher.
