Virginia Company Bank's Mark Hanna
with Joe Harrow.

Nearly a decade ago, Mark Hanna went searching for insight as the personal insurance rates offered through a former employer were projected to double. He turned to Ken Johnston, a former colleague now working for Middle Peninsula, hoping to get a second quote to help put the new employer-based package into context. The research and guidance that he got back from Ken and Joe Harrow far exceeded Mark's expectations. Not only did they find much more favorable rates, but they also took the time to answer his questions and provide true guidance. "I switched all of my personal insurance over to Middle Peninsula because of the very thorough customer service they provided," says Mark. "It was great that they found me lower rates, but what really stood out was the time and attention they paid to my specific needs."
What began as a personal need for Mark has evolved into a solid business relationship. Mark joined the Virginia Company Bank as President and CEO just before it opened in 2005. When he reached out to Middle Peninsula, the two organizations soon recognized that they were well suited to serve each others banking and insurance needs. Both organizations pride themselves on being fully engaged in the local community, enabling them to better address and support the needs and aspirations of their clients. Says Joe Harrow, "When I was first introduced to the Va. Company Bank I liked that their decisions could be made locally, that they were growing and working to support the local community, and that they had an impressive Board. On top of that, they are competitive and easy to work with."
The bank focuses on serving small, locally owned businesses and professional practices, with flexibility in lending services, deposit products and personal banking packages that are tailored to their clients.
Fully based on the Peninsula, the Va. Company Bank currently has 31 employees with offices in Newport News and Williamsburg, and a brand new Hampton office. For a few more months, the Va. Company Bank and Middle Peninsula Insurance share an office building in Williamsburg as the bank prepares to move into its new office on Richmond Road.
