HANDELSBANKEN held a Spring Ball at the Golden Lion Hotel in Northallerton, recently.

Held in aid of the Pendragon Community Trust, it raised more than £5,500.

Handelsbanken's Northallerton branch opened in April 2016 with the commitment to offering a high quality and personal service to both corporate and individual customers, through building long-term local relationships.

David Thompson, branch manager at Northallerton, said: “As a local relationship bank, we want to be an active part of the local community.

"In the last two years, the Northallerton branch has supported a number of initiatives and we were proud to hold our first charity ball supporting a fantastic Northallerton charity, The Pendragon Community Trust.

"An enjoyable evening was had by all of the 160 customers and members of the local professional community that attended. More importantly we were able to raise over £5,500 for the charity.”
