AIB has launched a series of events to mark its recent rebrand from First Trust Bank.
The lender's lagship Donegall Square North branch in Belfast city centre hosted the first in a month-long series of in-branch events.
Over 70 business leaders, organisations and customers joined AIB in Belfast to celebrate its new storefront signage and to hear the latest economic update from CBI Northern Ireland.
Speaking at the event Adrian Moynihan, head of AIB NI said; “We have started the new year and new decade with a new name, new branding but the same great team.
"The rebrand further strengthens our commitment to our customers and the broader Northern Ireland economy, ensuring we can continue to improve our offering and services for our customers.
“It’s clear that it isn’t just our politicians that are embracing a new vision and purpose, our business leaders - who have helped keep the economy moving forward over the past three years - are preparing their own growth plans for the year ahead. We too have that same sense of purpose and by tapping even more into the AIB Group’s wider expertise and specialisms, we will be able to bring our customers even greater insight and tailored support.”
Guest speaker Angela McGowan, director of the CBI Northern Ireland said: “2020 has got off to an optimistic start for both our politicians and businesses through the vision and purpose brought about by the ‘New Decade, New Approach’ agreement.
"AIB is one of a number of member companies that are investing in the city centre and supporting economic development elsewhere, and we hope that with additional fiscal stimulus and smart trade agreements, consumer and business confidence will continue to grow – unleashing further growth opportunities.”
