Gibson continues, "Running a small business takes endless amounts of time and effort. It is good to know that we have a bank behind us with similar values and culture.” #MissionBank#MadeWest#Ventura#VenturaCA
Lifelong friends Mike Morrison and Seth Gibson are founders of Ventura’s MadeWest Brewing Company, a production microbrewery that opened in 2016 and serves Southern California.
“I am very familiar with the advantages of having a good relationship with a local bank. We chose Mission Bank based on the employees, especially banker Bryan Easterly, at the local branch,” Gibson says.
Matt and John Fisher are the fourth generation to operate Crop Management Company, Inc., a diversified family operation that began with a commercial spray rig and a few acres of land in Delano.
“Relationships are what have and will continue to allow us to succeed in farming,” says the Fishers, noting that the same types of relationships attracted their family to Mission Bank and banker Rob Hallum.
Mission Bank has helped Kern Radiology as it has grown from 1 imaging center to its present 4. Mr. Ziemann says, “I have been working with Samy Abiaoui and the Mission staff since day one. They have taken the time to learn our business and develop solutions to our banking needs."
Bill Ziemann is the Chief Financial Officer at Kern Radiology, a physician-owned healthcare corporation that recently celebrated its 50th year in Bakersfield.
“Because diagnostic imaging equipment can run from $25,000 to well over $2 million, Kern Radiology needs a financial partner that understands our needs and shares our vision of growth and service,” says Mr. Ziemann.
Dr. Ayeni continues, “I have been working with banker Matt Damian since 2014. There is a real drive at Mission Bank to assist local businesses to grow and succeed. Mission Bank went to great lengths to secure funding for our build project.”
“Mission Bank has been there for us as a local bank to help us grow,” Dr. Ayeni says, noting that people are increasingly turning to urgent care centers to avoid the long waits associated with ERs.
Ms. Drees relies on Mission Bank and its bankers, Erma Martin and Tom Lescher, to help her organization maintain her customer base and grow the airport. “We always desire to do business with companies that have a good reputation,” Drees says.
Karina Drees is the CEO and General Manager of the Mojave Air & Space Port, a general aviation airport that has evolved into a premier flight test facility and commercial spaceport.
Mr. Riley continues, "They also presented networking opportunities that have positioned us in a good light, where we have been able to gain more clients."
Matthew Riley is president of the Bakersfield Condors, a professional hockey team and sports entertainment enterprise that is celebrating its 20th season. "Just the people at Mission Bank make the difference," says Mr. Riley.
Explaining why the Condors value their relationship with bankers Samy Abiaoui and Kevin Trihey, Mr Riley says, "They are nice folks who are willing to help, bend over backwards, and do what it takes to get the job done."
