Our Client Testimonials

Washington Valley Cellars

“My family and I have been clients of Peapack-Gladstone Bank for years, both personally and professionally. I consider the bankers we work with regularly not only partners, but friends who are deeply vested in our well-being, always available, and who show us tremendous care and support. Washington Valley Cellars would not be where it is today without the proactive advice, flexibility and creative thinking provided by my Peapack-Gladstone Bank team.”
Jay Rosen, Owner

Established in 1992, Washington Valley Cellars is a building company specializing in the design and construction of custom wine cellars and wine storage areas. Just as no two wine collections are the same, no two Washington Valley Cellars are alike. Each is a unique design, built with the finest materials and expert craftsmanship to reflect the storage needs and aesthetic tastes of the collector. Their approach is personal and professional, and their sterling reputation for creating magnificent—truly custom designed and built wine cellars—is unrivaled.

Hamilton Silva, Peapack-Gladstone Bank Community Private Banker
Dear Valued Shareholder,

On behalf of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and all of its wholly owned divisions and subsidiaries, I hope you and your families are safe and healthy.

These are certainly unprecedented times for everyone, but it is during times like these that I find comfort and security in knowing that I am not alone. It is my hope that you feel the same, and that you know Peapack-Gladstone Bank and its team of hard-working employees are here for you.

For nearly 100 years, we have put our clients and our communities first. These are two of our most important core principles, which we stand by each and every day. These statements truly define who we are and exemplify our commitment to doing the right thing, providing a trusted relationship for clients, even during extremely difficult times.

The theme of our 2019 Annual Report is “Focused on the Client.” The decision to follow this theme throughout the Report was made well before the Coronavirus entered our lives, but I feel strongly that it rings even more true today than ever before. Although much has changed during the last few months, our commitment to our clients, and our focus on our clients, will never waiver. Whether it is through support of our community organizations in need with funds or volunteers, or through loan or financing relief for our commercial and consumer clients, or specifically through offering Paycheck Protection Program assistance for our small businesses, we will always provide a steady hand.

I am proud of our 2019 accomplishments and that we were able to deliver a seventh year of record results for our shareholders. The enclosed report tells our story, which I hope you will also take pride in.

As we look ahead to our new normal, we will continue to keep our shareholders, our clients, our communities and our employees at the forefront. This will drive our success.

Respectfully yours,

Douglas L. Kennedy
President & CEO
Peapack-Gladstone Bank
