He steered our bank through exciting<br />

challenges and opportunities.<br />

Saint Lucia’s longest standing financial institution, 1st National Bank St.<br />

Lucia Limited, was quite happy 30 months ago, when it announced it<br />

had appointed Andy Delmar as its new Managing Director.<br />

Delmar, a Saint Lucian with 23 years of experience in the Caribbean<br />

banking and financial services sector at the time, took the helm at the<br />

bank on January 3, 2014.<br />

(Then) bank President Dr. Charmaine Gardner, said Delmar’s<br />

appointment came at a time when the bank had strategically realigned<br />

its structure and operations.<br />

The late Andy Delmar was appointed Managing Director<br />

in the 75th year of the bank’s history.<br />

Dr. Gardner also highlighted the historicity of the event, saying “It is no coincidence that in our 75th year, we<br />

have selected a new managing director to steer our bank through this current period of exciting challenges<br />

and opportunities. This is a significant part of our proactive market strategy to preserve growth despite the<br />

highly competitive global market.”<br />

Delmar brought to 1st National Bank a wealth of professional expertise and experience in the key areas of<br />

retail banking, sales, small business, home financing, product management, marketing and personal banking.
