Modernised Bank of Ireland Andersonstown branch host ‘meet the team’ event

 

Colleen Casey, Bank of Ireland Andersonstown Branch Manager, recently welcomed customers and representatives from local community and business organisations to take a tour of the newly modernised branch as part of a £7m investment in branches and new technology services in Northern Ireland by Bank of Ireland.

The event provided an opportunity for customers to meet the Bank of Ireland Andersonstown team in the newly modernised premises where they learned about the history of the branch and building from multi-award winning journalist Eamonn Mallie. Guests also heard from two local community organisations who had received support from the Bank’s Begin Together fund.

Paul Doherty from Foodstock spoke about how the organisation was supporting around 500 families each week, helping to empower people out of difficulties, while Gerard Mallon from West Wellbeing spoke about how the organisation is helping people aged three to 93 across the area, with counselling and befriending services amongst others. Both Paul and Gerard expressed their thanks to the bank and the wider community for their help and support.

Speaking at the event, William Thompson, Head of Consumer Banking NI at Bank of Ireland said: “Our branch network is a very important part of how we serve our customers and the community, and we are delighted to welcome so many of our customers and community partners to our newly refurbished and modern branch facility in Andersonstown.

“The team here in the branch provide a warm welcome and great service to all our customers and I encourage everyone right across the community to drop in and see how we can meet their personal and business banking needs.”
