My husband and I had dealt with the winding up of my parents estate. I had an inheritance bequethed to me. We wished to be able to access same but found that our regular society had closed our local branch. Similarly bank branches were no longer open. We called into your Halesworth branch. The staff were friendly and helpful and I now have two saving a/c's with you. It is important that I am able to communicate by telephone with the staff. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023
