Barbados, January 11th, 2018 – Republic Bank’s new Managing Director and CEO, Mr Anthony Clerk recently shared greetings with customers, associates, staff and guests attending the Bank’s annual Christmas Cocktail event at the Yacht Club, Port St. Charles.
There was much to celebrate as Clerk – who took office in the wake of Republic Bank’s second consecutive Bank of the Year Award from The Banker Magazine – took the podium to address guests at the well-appointed West Coast venue.
Thanking staff and guests for his wholehearted welcome to the helm of Republic Bank, Clerk congratulated the staff of the Bank, and particularly complimented his predecessor, Mr. Ian De Souza on the astute leadership shown during his very successful tenure as Managing Director and CEO.
The new MD and CEO also took the opportunity to acknowledge and welcome two former Republic Bank CEOs including De Souza and Mr. Derwin Howell to the event. He noted that it was indeed a special occasion for the Bank, when including himself, three of four recent Managing Directors could be gathered at one celebration, the only exception being Mr. Robert LeHunte.
Clerk was warmly greeted by guests, staff and customers as he got Republic Bank’s 2017 Christmas festivities off to a rousing start.
