A joy to support

Oct 7 2008 by Sue Scott, Evening Gazette

WE’RE delighted to support The Journal’s 25th North East Business Executive of the Year Awards. These awards highlight and recognise the exceptional achievements of business executives across the North-east who are driving success across the region.

Despite the messages of doom and gloom in the national media, there is much to be confident about in our regional economy.

Voted Bank of the Year for the fourth consecutive year at the Real FD/CBI FDs’ Excellence Awards, Lloyds TSB is privileged to be part of this community. We have invested in the region by establishing a local team which understands the needs of local businesses. And with our new Corporate Finance specialists in Newcastle, we can now offer our national expertise with local insight.

As we head towards the end of 2008, we’re determined to promote and sustain local businesses. Customers are at the heart of our working relationship, and we pride ourselves on offering a tailored service by understanding our customers and their markets.
