Naples Daily News Names Lydian Bank & Trust’s Scott Kellett

Aug. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Scott Kellett, Executive Vice President and Managing Director for Lydian Bank & Trust in Naples has been named as a “Star Financial Planner” for 2010 by the Naples Daily News Choice Awards. This marks the second straight year that Mr. Kellett has received this award, which is presented based on readers’ votes.
           The award solidifies Mr. Kellett’s standing as one of southwest Florida’s most highly-regarded financial planning and wealth management professionals. Mr. Kellett joined Lydian Bank & Trust in early 2010 when the Palm Beach-based private banking and wealth management firm entered the Naples market as part of an ongoing statewide expansion. Mr. Kellett was chosen to lead the firm’s newest office for his experience, long tenure in the Naples area, and strong community reputation.
           “The fact that Scott has earned this reader-generated award two years in a row speaks directly to one of the reasons why we identified him as a qualified manager for Lydian Bank & Trust’s Naples office,” said Cary Putrino, Regional President, Tampa Bay of Lydian Bank & Trust. “Scott’s depth of expertise and strong client relationships, coupled with his industry and community involvement, make him one of the state’s top wealth management professionals and a key component of our plans for growth in the Naples area.”
           In addition to directing Lydian Bank & Trust’s Naples office, Mr. Kellett serves on the Trust Executive Committee of the Florida Bankers Association and is Chairman-Elect for 2011. He also serves as an instructor for the Florida Bankers Association Trust School and is a frequent speaker on estate and gift tax planning and broader economic issues.
