GLOBAL HEMP GROUP ANNOUNCES RAMSEY DOUGLAS APPOINTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Vancouver, BC -- (October 3, 2023) -- GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (“GHG” or the “Company”) (CSE: GHG / OTC: GBHPF / FRANKFURT: GHG) is pleased to announce that Ramsey Douglas has been appointed Director of the Company.

Ramsey Douglas is a UK professional based in London, whose passion lies in conquering the dynamic challenges of the business world and firmly believes that success in business is a collective effort, driven by the strength of the team.

Since 2017, he became involved in the CBD industry when it was in its infancy in the United Kingdom. Recognizing the need for stability and quality, Mr. Douglas, as Managing Director, spearheaded the World CBD Awards, with the clear mission; identify the world's finest CBD brands through rigorous scientific evaluation and full traceability to the source. This enabled him to partner with some of the world’s leading brands, developing a global contact base, together with establishing relationships with some of the leading media agencies globally with the objective to get clearly defined messages out to mass markets.  

Concurrently, Mr. Douglas helmed United Hemp Alliance, a global CBD distribution company, that sold raw materials right through to finished products. In addition, he has been following the medicinal cannabis space for the last several years to understand the global landscapes, legalities, growth potentials and potential gaps in the market. Having been in the CBD space for the last 6 years, medicinal cannabis was the next generation, and an industry that his group had aspirations of entering and had been building in the background. 

In late 2022, he set his sights on the growing medicinal cannabis sector and looked at innovative ways in which his group could enter the space, and how they could help people with non-addictive alternative medications, without the stigmas being attached. They then set about understanding the biggest disconnect across the medicinal cannabis space, being education, and put a plan in place on how they could address this on a global level. 

With industry pioneers entering the fray, Ramsey saw a wealth of opportunities at the industry's dawn, fueled by the strong global relationships that had been cultivated, the solid team and advisory board that they built, and lessons learned from the CBD sector, they created a company CannoV8, a company to take advantage of this opportunity.

Prior to his entrance into the CBD industry, Mr. Douglas’ professional journey began in the corporate realm, where he navigated the intricacies of global IT manufacturing, across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). During that time, he led diverse sales channels, overseeing delivery, and shaping marketing and sales strategies, with the overall objective being to outwit the competition across the focus market areas.

“I am very much looking forward to joining Global Hemp Group and bringing a wealth of global contacts and opportunities across both the medical and distribution markets.” said Ramsey Douglas
