The Managing Director Barclays Bank, Mr. Rakesh Jha hosted fellow industry captains and diplomats to a Johnnie Walker whisky mentor-ship as part of the Barclays Bank Consumer Rewards Program that was launched earlier this year.

The guests included key stakeholders like the US Ambassador to Uganda Deborah Ruth Malac, Indian High commissioner Shri Ravi Shankar, NSSF MD Richard Patrick Byaruhanga, South African High commissioner Prof.Maj. Gen Solly Mollo among others.
The team was taken through a mentorship session on how to appreciate and take their whisky by the Johnnie Walker Brand Ambassador, Marcus Kwikiriza.
“Our platinum credit card holders have been hosting their associates for whisky mentorship sessions like the one we have had today,” said Rakesh Jha, Managing Director Barclays Bank Uganda.
Rakesh Jha explained that customers who use their credit cards for purchases earn points and those who have accrued most points will be rewarded with whisky mentorships.
“Johnnie Walker is about a constant pursuit for success as our ‘Keep Walking’ mantra goes. This is a perfect partnership with Barclays who will be rewarding their premium customers with an icon of progress,” said Anettte Nakiyaga, UBLs, and Head of Whisky Portfolio.
