Willie Mackie, Managing Partner of the Clydesdale Bank Financial Solutions Centre in Ayr played host recently to a group of 15 students from Ayr College who spent a day learning about business banking.

Presentations were given by Agricultural, Commercial, and Private Banking partners, who gave the students a unique insight into the workings of an Financial Solutions Centre team.

Following a buffet lunch in the boardroom the visit concluded with a tour of the flagship Clydesdale Bank branch situated below the Financial Solutions Centre in Alloway Street.

Jeanette McCulloch, Curriculum Manager, Business Management, Ayr College said: "I would like to thank Willie Mackie and his team for the excellent and very informative visit they organised for our students. This was very much appreciated and will significantly benefit the students’ understanding and awareness of local businesses in and around Ayrshire."

Charity walk

And staff from Clydesdale Bank’s Financial Solutions Centre in Ayr have also taken part in a sponsored walk along the River Ayr Walk.

For most of the team the route was divided into stages covering around 4, 7 and 11 miles.

One of the highlights of the day was achieved by Drew Mackin, Senior Partner Agricultural Business who ran the full 40 miles in one day.

The team raised £785 on the day which was matched by the Bank. A donation of £1,570 was made to the British Heart Foundation.
