Meanwhile, the host club will be led by Chairman Alex Gitau, in the hunt for top honours.
Tugee said: “Without doubt, we will be offering fabulous prizes for the winners and unique performers.’ However, what is most important is that the tournament creates the opportunity for us to deepen our interactions with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.”
He added: “While the focus on the day is on friendly competition, SEACOM’s future-minded objectives mean we’ll also be listening and building relationships so that we can better deliver seamless and cost-effective business solutions across the region.”
