Meridian Bancorp : Mobile Branch Grand Opening Ceremomy

East Boston Savings Bank (EBSB) hosted the grand opening ceremony of their new Mobile branch at their headquarters in Peabody on Wednesday, June 1. Guests and employees were greeted by Chairman, President and CEO, Richard J. Gavegnano as he drove the Mobile branch into the parking lot, where its arrival was well received.

The new Mobile office will be the 31branch added to the list of East Boston Savings Bank locations. Unlike the current branch locations, the Mobile branch will be traveling throughout Greater Boston. 'We are very excited about getting the Mobile branch out there on the road and in the fore front of our communities and customers. This is another great example of our initiative and focus, which is to continue to expand our footprint within Greater Boston and grow the EBSB franchise' said Gavegnano.

The Bank announced the appointment of Beth MacBrian as the Assistant Vice President, Branch Manager of the new Mobile Branch. Beth brings several years of banking experience to EBSB, most recently from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Credit Union, where she held the position as Branch manager and previously at the Digital Federal Credit Union as Branch Manager for over 10 years. 'Beth's management experience and commitment to exceed expectations in challenging positions, makes her a terrific leader for our Mobile Branch. We believe our prospective and current customers will benefit from her professional experience and her focus on customer service' said Gavegnano. Beth will oversee all branch operations, and diligently work to introduce the Mobile branch to various communities, while helping to build long-lasting business relationships with customers.
