Frances O’Hanlon
Frances O’Hanlon started her banking career in the late 1980’s in London. On returning to Ireland in 1990 she joined Permanent TSB where she continued to work for almost 16 years. She was then transferred to the Clonmel branch in 1993 where she spent almost 13 years, the last seven years of which she was the Business Assistant Manager.
“The Bank gave me a wide and varied experience in Banking & Financial Services and indeed the platform to allow me to continue my education and to progress to opening my own business. Having worked in a large Multi-National Bank in London, I felt at home in the former TSB as at that time we clearly shared the same ethos of genuine customer care.”
Frances set up Frances O’Hanlon Mortgages & Investments Ltd in 2006 and continues to grow the business specialising in expert financial service.
Frances is a keen singer and you will often find her frequenting a traditional and folk session. She is as comfortable threading the stage boards as she is in the area of finance.
