BELLINGHAM, Wash.  — Peoples Bank announced the promotion of three veteran bankers to newly created Regional Commercial Director positions.

Jon Ensch, Mike Fredlund, and Alex Sansoni will oversee commercial banking operations in different regions across the state, according to a statement from the bank.

Ensch will lead commercial operations in Whatcom County, while Fredlund will be responsible for Skagit, Island, Chelan, and Douglas counties. Sansoni will oversee Snohomish and King counties, as well as the bank's Small Business Administration team.

Andy Riddell, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer at Peoples Bank, praised the trio's expertise and track record. "Each of these accomplished leaders brings 20-plus years of local and commercial banking experience," Riddell said.

The appointments come as Peoples Bank, which boasts $2.4 billion in assets, strengthens its commercial banking services across Washington. The bank, founded a century ago, currently operates 23 locations throughout the state.

Peoples Bank has received recognition for its financial management practices, including a five-star rating from BauerFinancial, an independent bank rating firm.
