Handelsbanken Chesterfield Expands Team to Meet Growing Demand

Handelsbanken Chesterfield has appointed a new member of staff in response to increasing demand for its local relationship banking services.

Fraser Kirkman joins the fast-growing relationship bank, following his graduation in Business and Management last year. He will be involved in the operational side of the branch, supporting and serving existing customers, as well as welcoming new customers to Handelsbanken’s bespoke approach to local banking.

Fraser commented: “I am delighted to be joining Handelsbanken Chesterfield. What attracted me to Handelsbanken was its focus on close personal relationships with its customers, its reputation for high levels of service and its traditional values. I will be joining a team of experienced bankers who have the power to make decisions that matter to our customers here in the branch. It will be great to start my banking career in my local branch.”

The branch, established in 2012 and located at Spire Walk, has developed a reputation for traditional banking, financial strength and high standards within the local business and professional services community.

Phil Walker, Branch Manager, added: “I am very pleased to welcome Fraser to the Chesterfield branch team. This is a great local story – a local lad who has graduated and chosen to start his Handelsbanken career in Chesterfield. His appointment means that we can continue to meet the growing needs of both existing and new customers in and around Chesterfield, whilst maintaining the high levels of service for which we are renowned.”
