Second place was not good enough for a local Scotiabank branch.
In 2014, the Scotiabank Langley main branch in Langley City was ranked second among all branches of the financial institute within the North Coast and Fraser Valley District.
The district consists of 27 branches and there are five branches in British Columbia.
But in 2015, they made the jump to number one, being recognized as the top Scotiabank branch in the district, second in the entire province and sixth among the 1,000 or so branches across Canada.
“We set the bar pretty high and we went into 2015 with one goal in mind and that was for our branch to be the best of the best,” said Jayson Burden, the branch manager.
“Our commitment to our Scotiabank standards was key, providing a friendly and professional environment while demonstrating a true willingness to assist and be efficient in the services we provide.”
“It is genuinely a true honour to be recognized as the best of the best.”
“Our staff continue to show strong engagement and development while being operationally sound and generating strong financial results while helping our customers become better off,” he added.
“This award is an accomplishment we are extremely proud of and share our Best of the Best win with our customers.”
The branch celebrated its 46th anniversary at the Langley City location earlier this month (March 2).
Burden said they are proud to be part of the downtown Langley City community.
“This achievement would not have been possible if it were not for our loyal Scotiabank customers who continue to support us in the downtown Langley corridor,” he said.
In two weeks (April 9), the branch staff will be volunteering at the Sources Super Gala at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club.
“Community involvement is extremely important for Scotiabank and our staff,” Burden said.
