David Motley, President of Colonial Savings, said the growth of the company's consumer and business banking services prompted the addition of Davis and Combest to the staff. "In the past few years, we've seen more consumers and small business owners switch from the huge national banks to institutions like Colonial Savings which is family-owned, financially strong and focused on serving the needs of people in the communities of North Central Texas," Motley said. "They have discovered that we offer all the products and technology they need but we deliver a better, more personal banking relationship. They prefer doing business with a bank invested in the local area, with local decision-making and support. Brent's experience is exactly in line with our goals, and we are extremely pleased to have him on our team. His strong commercial banking experience and experience in the DFW market will be invaluable as we serve more customers."
