Back in 1993, and kick-starting her career at our Carrickfergus branch, Gillian progressed through the ranks until she became Branch Manager in 2000. After that she moved on to specialising in mortgages, taking on a Mortgage Manager post, which kept her occupied until she secured her dream role of looking after our mortgage brokers in the West & South East of NI.

She loves a challenge, relishes building relationships and works hard to gain trust and respect through a strong desire for getting things right the first time.

Married, with two boys - now studying at university - she maintains an interest in education, holding down a Board of Governors position at a local Grammar school. Such is her passion that it won her the acclaim of ‘Governor of the Year’, taking her to an evening reception held at 10 Downing Street, London, where she met the Prime Minister!

Nicola started with Danske Bank almost twenty years ago and has held a variety of posts from Team Leader to Branch Manager, to managing a team of mortgage advisors. She sees Danske as a ‘community’ as well as a bank, with one team working towards a common goal – a goal which has the customer at the centre of everything we do.

As Business Development Manager for Belfast & North Down, Nicola is committed to serving brokers and customers in our communities. She is focused on building and maintaining relationships that are supportive and add value.

When she’s not working, she’s either ice skating, running or immersed in a good horror book!
