David Nicholson, group director, Halifax Community Bank says: “We intend to shake up the High Street with new and existing offers that challenge the norm, and we need a brand to match that.
“Our people are at the heart of our success, so it was only natural for us to continue to let our colleagues bring our brand to life. Our people are proud to work for this bank and want to show that pride once again.”
