According to Teresa Lourenco, Marketing Manager DUESOUTH, Hugo epitomises what the DUESOUTH brand stands for. “DUESOUTH is extremely proud and excited to have Dan onboard. He is energetic, ambitious, inspiring and adventurous. He has a desire and passion for the outdoors and believes in living life to the fullest like a true Outsider. He is an exceptional role model and through his experience and expertise we believe that he will raise the level of awareness for both outdoor and multi-sport events as well as the DUESOUTH brand,” says Lourenco.

As an outdoor retailer DUESOUTH caters for the modern, hi tech consumer. With thirty-one stores nationwide, DUESOUTH offers a unique range of international adventure brands completed by local brands.

For Dan Hugo, being part of the DUESOUTH brand is an incredible opportunity. “I am really excited to partner with DUESOUTH as I believe that we share the same vision in health, adventure, fitness and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. I am honoured to become what is essentially one of their first brand ambassadors and I am grateful to them for presenting me with this amazing opportunity. I also love the fact that they seem just as excited about this new partnership as I am and I look forward to building on our relationship,” says Hugo.

Dan Hugo can be seen in action at Grabouw Country Club this coming Saturday, 26 February when he battles it out for the coveted title of DUESOUTH XTERRA SA Champion. Athletes competing at this event stand the chance to qualify for the world championship final in Hawaii later the year.
