Raleigh, N.C. — At Capital Bank’s recent annual conference, the Clayton, N.C. branch was presented the highest award for service. Under the leadership of Branch Manager Wanda Markuson and Commercial Relationship Manager Jason Hardy, the branch excelled in both deposit and loan growth in 2009. This significant recognition comes only 13 months after the branch’s grand opening.

“It is an honor to be recognized among the Capital Bank network of offices that provide such high-level service,” said Markuson. “Clayton has embraced Capital Bank and our customers appreciate the familiar feel that welcomes them when they walk through our doors.”

Markuson and Hardy are deeply rooted in the Clayton community. Their volunteer service and civic involvements represent the personal approach that is a cornerstone of the Capital Bank brand.

As further support of the community, Capital Bank is the title sponsor of Triangle Business Journal’s State of Clayton event this Friday, Feb. 26 at the Clayton Center. At the event, business and community leaders will discuss issues facing Clayton’s business community. B. Grant Yarber, president and CEO of Capital Bank, will be among the event’s speakers.

“Capital Bank and Clayton both strive to maintain small-town values while managing welcomed growth,” said Yarber. “The State of Clayton event is a perfect opportunity for residents to learn how growth affects the community and to hear how businesses like Capital Bank have a positive impact in the neighborhood.”
