Leeds has a combined
Trustee and Investment Department based at Martins Bank’s District Office
28/30 Park Row. We have very few details about this department, and only a
few extremely short pieces about some of the staff published in Martins Bank
Magazine.
Using
information from the Martins Staff Database, we were able to find that this
office was opened in September 1936 by Mr H Elphee who remained there until
moving to Liverpool Trustee Dept in 1949.

In Service: September 1936 until 21 November 1969
