At Bank of New Hampshire, we believe that every employee’s journey is a testament to the supportive environment we strive to create. As part of our blog series highlighting the diverse career paths within our team, we’re excited to share the story of Tim Connolly, whose career at Bank of New Hampshire has been one of growth, learning and above all, fun.
A Steady Climb: From Bank Services Representative to Office Manager
Tim Connolly joined Bank of New Hampshire in November 2014, as a Bank Services Representative. Over the years, Tim’s journey has taken him from Bank Services Representative to Training Associate, and today, he proudly serves as Assistant Vice President – Office Manager. His steady progression reflects not just his own dedication, but the Bank’s commitment to fostering talent from within.
Why BNH?
When asked what initially drew him to banking, Tim shared that it was a combination of factors. “I’ve always been in sales,” he says, “but the hours and federal holidays were very attractive to me.” It didn’t hurt that Tim was already familiar with BNH—he had been a customer for years and knew many of the people he would eventually work alongside. This sense of community made his transition into banking all the more seamless.
Continuous Growth Through Learning and Development
Tim credits BNH for supporting his professional growth from day one. “There have been a multitude of classes, and my supervisors have coached and developed me,” he reflects. From his early days as a Bank Services Representative to his excitement when he became a Training Associate, and his pride upon stepping into his current role as Office Manager, Tim’s growth is a result of continuous learning and development. “Take as many classes as you can,” Tim advises those just starting their careers. “You never know where or in what direction they will lead you. The career possibilities are endless.”
A Memorable Milestone
One of Tim’s most memorable moments at BNH came when he was promoted to Training Associate. The excitement he felt was just a stepping stone to what would become an even more fulfilling role as Office Manager. But beyond titles and promotions, what Tim values most is the opportunity to help people achieve their financial goals. “I truly enjoy helping people meet their financial goals. I also enjoy the relationships that are built over time. I feel like I really get to know my customers.”
Finding Fun in Banking
So, what keeps Tim motivated? In a word: fun. “Sure, there are stressful days,” he admits, “but the overall energy is fun.” It’s this positive energy that keeps him coming back day after day, ready to make a difference for his customers and team.
Embrace the Endless Possibilities
Tim’s advice for anyone starting their career is simple: embrace every learning opportunity, because you never know where it will take you.
With endless career possibilities and a supportive team behind you, success at BNH is always within reach. Tim’s journey is a reminder that at BNH, we don’t just offer jobs—we offer fulfilling careers where growth, support and fun go hand in hand.
