Bendigo and Adelaide Bank has appointed a new chief executive, with Mike Hirst replacing longstanding chief Rob Hunt from the close of business tomorrow.

Hunt has been chief executive of the bank since 1988. A statement from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank chairman Robert Johanson said Hunt was retiring after presiding over the biggest period of expansion in the bank’s 150-year history.

The statement from the bank described Hirst as an experienced banker, one who had played a key role in developing and implementing the bank’s strategy during his tenure to date. He has been an employee of the bank since 2001.

Hirst said the bank had grown consistently for years and had community connections in place that would bode well for further expansion.
