 Whilst
Martins Bank’s Branch at Leeds University does not survive the merger with Barclays, it does enjoy at
least the best part of a decade, serving students. The Bank issues leaflets for students at
nearly all universities in England, and when a specific university branch of
the bank is not on site, students are directed to nearby branches of
the Bank. Here, they can benefit from
the friendly service and advice, that has been a hallmark of Martins Bank’s’
offering to students since Liverpool University Branch was first opened in
1958.

We know that Martins Staff like to
tread the boards, and sing for their supper (see SONG AND DANCE) but it seems Martins Bank and broadcasting might also go hand in
hand, as Leeds University Branch is not far from the BBC in Woodhouse
Lane. BRISTOL
CLIFTON Branch is also close to the BBC
Western Region studios. MANCHESTER HULME Branch is a stone’s throw from the Hulme Hipperdrome where some of
the most iconic Radio Shows of the 40s 50s and 60s were made, and one
Manager at Cardiff is no stranger to making radio and TV appearances both
in English AND Welsh!

The Staff of Martins Bank is, of
course multi-talented, so in 1965, it comes as no surprise to find that Mr
D Greaves, who is Clerk in Charge at Leeds University Branch, is the focus
of attention in Martins Bank Magazine when his achievements in the RAF
voluntary reserve are recognised…

 Flying High!
Mr D E Greaves (Clerk in Charge, University, Leeds) has recently
achieved the Air Efficiency Award in recognition of his service in the
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve.
Mr Greaves, who is a Flight Lieutenant in the Intelligence branch of
the R.A.F.V.R., has also been admitted to membership of the exclusive RAF
1,000 m.p.h. club.
