Bank of the Lowcountry, in tandem with the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, celebrated the grand opening of its new Loan Production Office with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday, Nov. 17.
Employees, board directors, chamber members, clients, and community members were invited to enjoy refreshments, explore the new office, and meet the team.
Ian Scott, President and CEO of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, kicked off the ceremony and welcomed Bank of the Lowcountry to the community.
“It’s so important to have community banking institutions like this here in our local economy,” Scott said. “Having local institutions, local people with local knowledge of this region’s economy is critical to make sure that we have a well-functioning local business environment. We are so excited to have Bank of the Lowcountry set up shop here.”
“The official opening of our first office in Beaufort is very exciting,” said Graham Holcombe, Senior Vice President and City Executive for Beaufort. “We look forward to growing our presence with a commitment to personal relationships and providing a true community banking option for those who live and work in the area. I couldn’t be more honored to continue serving our community through Bank of the Lowcountry.”
“We are excited to open our newest office in Beaufort,” Bank of the Lowcountry’s President and CEO Marc Bogan said after the ceremony. “This will be Bank of the Lowcountry’s first office in Beaufort County, but our ties to this community go way back. Carl Kilpatrick and myself are both Beaufort natives, and Graham Holcombe has been in the area long enough to claim Beaufortonian status. We are excited to make an investment in this great community, and we look forward to bringing our style of community banking to the market.”
