Ettalong Beach’s Bendigo Community Bank has celebrated the work of its former manager, Peter McKeon, who retired this month after 12 years at the local branch.

McKeon, a long-time Peninsula resident, is from a prominent local family with his father, Bruce Wheels McKeon, running a successful jewellery and watchmaker business in Woy Woy.

McKeon’s replacement, Pat Italiano, is moving to Ettalong from the North Ryde Branch.

Branch director, Kerry Watkins, said Italiano knows the local community “very well.

“He will continue the good work of the bank in supporting the local community through sponsorships, project funding and helping out local causes on the Peninsula,” Watkins said.

“Pat looks forward to meeting local residents and is always available to discuss your financial needs so please drop into the Bank to have a chat to Pat and the staff of Ettalong Bendigo Community Bank.”
