BY P&N BANK GENERAL MANAGER, ANNA PEARCE

I’m pleased to announce the establishment and launch of our new P&N Bank Brand Advisory Council, which honours the commitment made to members as part of the merger with bcu in 2019.

Our new P&N Bank Advisory Council will comprise experienced professionals from the WA community who will meet with me quarterly offering their experience, unique skill set, networks and standing within the community to:

  • help leverage the P&N Bank brand strategic opportunities
  • optimise the prosperity, reach and profile of P&N Bank in WA
  • positively influence and advocate for P&N Bank and its members. Our first quarterly meeting is scheduled for the end of July.

Your new Advisory Council

It’s my great pleasure to introduce you to the following inaugural P&N Bank Advisory Councillors, who have been selected for their leadership experience and the alignment of their diverse skill sets with our strategic direction.

Your P&N Bank Advisory Council will comprise Dr Brian Handley (Chair), Lorna MacGregor, Catriona Linney and Mark Glasson, each bringing experience spanning the bank/credit society, education, health, insurance and community services industries.

Dr Brian Handley

An active board member, Brian is an experienced university lecturer, presenter, facilitator, consultant and trainer who brings with him a wealth of banking and marketing knowledge. Brian has experience at a CEO, Board and Chairman of the Board level over many years including a term as Director of UniCredit.

Lorna MacGregor

Lorna has over 20 years’ experience in senior positions in strategic development, operational management and change planning, with organisations such as Landgate, member-organisation HBF and City of Perth. She is currently the CEO of Lifeline WA (a community partner of P&N Bank) and is a director of the WA Association for Mental Health.

Catriona Linney

A Senior Marketing & Digital Consultant, Catriona has a decade of experience working with various major brands to develop transformative digital strategies. With a deep understanding of digital technologies, Catriona brings a unique skillset, with her ability to deliver successful, customer-centric solutions and digital transformation to organisations.

Mark Glasson

Mark is the CEO of Anglicare WA and has over twenty-five years’ experience across a range of human services, including service delivery to families and children, community development, public policy and services to offenders. An active board member, Mark has held senior executive positions for the Government of Western Australia and worked in local government and community organisations.

I believe this highly experienced group will provide unique insights, networking opportunities and high-profile advocacy as we work to advance P&N Bank’s presence in WA.

I’m very much looking forward to working together with my fellow Councillors over the next 12 months as we focus on growing the brand and further enhancing the customer experience offered to our members.
