“Our new teams fit perfectly into the Fortis business model that our clients have come to appreciate and expect,” stated Josh Peters, Fortis’ Chief Lending Officer. “We expect consistent growth within our commercial, specialty and treasury management departments and look forward to the continued expansion of our SBA products and offerings. Our focus on the development of our people and products will enhance our market position as our clients continue to grow, so they can focus on what matters most to them: running their businesses.”
