Of his promotion, English says "While our region faces unprecedented growth over the next few years, there has never been a stronger need for a true community bank like Queensborough. Our locations and experienced team of bankers is perfectly suited to help area businesses and individuals prosper, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead this group.”
