Mt. Washington Bank Appoints Local Businessman
To Serve on Board of Directors

(South Boston, MA)--Mt. Washington Bank President and Chief Executive Officer Edward J. Merritt recently announced the appointment of Thomas G. Carrigg to the bank’s Board of Directors. Carrigg, a long-time resident of Jamaica Plain, manages his family-owned business, Thomas Carrigg & Son, Inc. located in West Roxbury.

Carrigg’s appointment comes after Mt. Washington Bank’s merger with Roxbury Highland Bank in Jamaica Plain, where Carrigg served as the bank’s Chairman of the Board. “We are very excited to welcome Tom to our board. His banking experience and community involvement will play an important role in helping us serve the Jamaica Plain Community,” said Merritt.

Prior to joining his family’s business Carrigg held several positions in banking at institutions such as Mercantile Bank and Trust Company, as well as Mutual Bank for Savings. He has been a member of the West Roxbury Business and Professional Association for 11 years and is active with several organizations both in Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury. Some of these organizations include the Jamaica Plain Historical Society and Spontaneous Celebrations, a children’s after school program in Jamaica Plain, as well as West Roxbury Main Streets.

“I look forward to serving on Mt. Washington Bank’s board,” said Carrigg. “I believe that my commitment and dedication to the Jamaica Plain Community, as well as to the business community of West Roxbury will help support Mt. Washington Bank’s efforts to be Boston’s Community Bank.”
