CEO

Our unique culture is key to the success of Cambridge
& Counties Bank. Our people are actively involved
in leading initiatives beyond our products and
services; including charity engagement, leading
green initiatives, and community social events.
They underpin our passion to make a positive impact
on society and the communities in which we operate,
and I was delighted this was recognised in our B Corp

certification received last year.
The unwavering commitment, energy, and expertise
of our people, coupled with strong relationships and
focus on customer service, represent the essence of
our culture and purpose, and I extend my enormous

thanks to everyone across the Bank for their significant
contribution to making positive economic, social and
environmental impacts.
