WHEELING, W.Va., March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WesBanco, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, announced that it has continued to successfully execute upon its strategy to seek additional long-term growth opportunities through the opening of a loan production office, initially focused on residential mortgage lending, within the Nashville area.

"WesBanco is focused on delivering long-term, sustainable growth to our shareholders through solid execution upon our distinct strategies, including the opening of loan production offices in major markets adjacent to our footprint," said Todd F. Clossin, WesBanco President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We have spent the past 150 years dedicated to nurturing relationships with our neighbors and local businesses, and look forward to doing the same in the Nashville area.  By not losing touch of our hometown banking roots, we have been able to deliver a premier financial institutional experience across all of our markets.  I am excited about the opportunities our newest loan production office provides to continue that success."

Mr. Clossin continued, "Furthermore, WesBanco was recently named by Forbes as both one of America's Best Banks and Best Midsize Employers.  In fact, we were the only midsize bank making the top ten in both financial performance and employer of choice.  We are focused on providing top-tier services for our clients and we believe that the only way to do that is to create an environment where our employees are set up to succeed.  These recognitions prove to our current customers, and community members searching for a new banking partner, that WesBanco has the capabilities and track record to provide ongoing financial success."

In addition, WesBanco's banking affiliate, WesBanco Bank, has hired Rick Trew as Vice President, Residential Lending and Regional Sales Manager for the Nashville area office.  In this role, Mr. Trew will be responsible for building a successful mortgage lending team and the management of mortgage production activities to provide ongoing support of WesBanco's vision and mission statements.
