You can bank on this Penny

SHE’S arrived as advertised – bright, positive and ready to make a difference.
The Tewantin Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank has welcomed a new staff member to their Poinciana Avenue premises, with Penny Lucas now on board.
Penny says she’s delighted to be working in Tewantin, accepting the position after moving from Tasmania.
“Having already worked in Community Bank branches in Tassie for the past six years, I’ve have seen the difference we make where it matters most – right here where we live. I’m really looking forward to being part of the many community activities the Tewantin Community Bank branch is involved with,” Penny said.
“In Tasmania, I found the community spirit to be really strong and connected and I already feel that in Tewantin.
“It’s great to be working in a branch that already gives so much back to its community and I find this philosophy a real personal motivator.
“I guess I come from the belief that everyone has to bank somewhere, so why not bank with someone who is giving locals and real say and share in its own future,” she added.
In Penny’s spare time you’ll find her out in a boat, out in the sun or playing some kind of sport. She also love socialising with friends, so it sounds like she’s going to fit in just beautifully in Noosa.
Branch manager, Wayne Hoens said Penny had been a welcome addition to the team.
“Penny has already made such a great impression with our locals and brings with her a strong understanding of our community banking message. We’re thrilled to add such a dynamic personality to town.
“As always with the community bank model, the more our community supports the Tewantin branch the more we can make more vital returns to our community,” Wayne said.
Residents are invited to visit the Tewantin Community Bank branch and meet with Penny and the rest of the team to talk about all your banking needs.
The Tewantin Community Bank branch is located at 105 Poinciana Avenue and is open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am-12noon on Saturdays. You can also call the branch directly on 5440 5289.
