A CHESTER city centre businessman has taken working with his bank adviser into account.

Prestige Maintenance owner Mark McDonnell was selected to be shadowed by NatWest business adviser Rebecca Chesters.

The scheme, which saw Mark showing her the ropes of his successful growing firm, was part of the bank’s Working With You initiative for a day.

Mark said: “I was delighted to be chosen by Rebecca. The scheme is a great idea and I really enjoyed the day.”

Rebecca said: “I am extremely pleased and grateful to Mark for letting us work alongside his business.

“The idea behind the scheme is to gain a better understanding of the businesses we work with, by getting involved and being able to give back to our clients.

“I chose to shadow Prestige as I had worked with Mark from when Prestige was launched in January. Over the last 10 months Mark has already built up a large portfolio of clients, with growth mainly due to referrals and recommendations.”

“Mark has ambitious growth plans to develop the business. On behalf of NatWest, I am keen to work with and help such an up-and-coming business to achieve his ambitions.”
