NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 2 LEPCCU 55TH ANNIVERSARY FEATURE “PEOPLE HELPING people!” This is the mantra upon which our noble movement was established. Today, I stand as a proud member of the Lascelles Employees & Partners Co-operative Credit Union Ltd family to celebrate our 55th anniversary. History saw us as an employee-based credit union, serving the financial needs of persons within the Lascelles deMercado Group. However, through technological advancement, regulation and members’ needs, there came a greater demand to improve the complexity and sophistication of our credit union to grow and to keep pace with rapid global changes. These demands were met through the ambition, resilience, and dedication of all our trusted and dedicated business partners, diligent board of directors and volunteers, sterling predecessors, and dedicated staff. On behalf of the board of directors, management and staff, and volunteers of the Lascelles Employees & Partners Co-operative Credit Union Ltd, I would like to say thank you to everyone for 55 rewarding years. As we look to the future, we continue to prioritise the needs of our members and work towards remaining as their “friendly financial institution of choice”. “Wi likkle, but wi tallawah!” OWEN DILLON President Lascelles Employees & Partners Co-operative Credit Union Ltd ‘Wi likkle, but wi tallawah!’ TODAY MARKS a major milestone for the Lascelles Employees & Partners Co-operative Credit Union Ltd family as we celebrate 55 years of service to you. Fifty-five (55) years ago, Lascelles Employees Co-operative Credit Union Ltd was established and registered as an employee-based Credit Union under the Lascelles deMercado Group. Our Bond of service has propelled us from those humble beginnings to where we stand today, as a giant-sized Credit Union serving over 6000 members, and asset size of over $1.3 billion. This exciting journey has seen many twists and turns, but we have never been diverted from our mandate – to provide the best service and support to our members. To all our business partners, fellow co-operators and invaluable members, on behalf of the board of directors, management and staff, and volunteers of the Lascelles Employees & Partners Cooperative Credit Union Ltd, here is to all the memories we’ve created, challenges we’ve overcome, and victories we’ve achieved together. Thank you. MICHELLE AMBERSLEY General Manager Lascelles Employees & Partners Co-operative Credit Union Ltd Here’s to 55 years!
