Natick Business Buzz—Call and Haul can take it all; Needham Bank adds loan officer; Natick Mall additions and coming-soons

Call and Haul can take it all

If during the past year (or even the past decade) you somehow accumulated a lot of stuff that now just has to go, Call and Haul, a locally-based service owned and operated by John O’Toole is ready to help. Besides clean-outs, Cal and Haul takes care of recycling/junk removal; deliveries and moving; and pickups. The company provides free estimates. From there, the company will remove, recycle, deliver, or pick up your items in a “contact-free” environment and as safely and efficiently as possible.  As part of their internal quality control program, workers always wipe down surrounding surfaces and sweep and/or vacuum the immediate work area when the job is completed. Payment is not accepted until after a walk-though with the client.

Call and Haul’s route 9 location (near Great Wok in Wellesley) is a jumping-off point for the service. They cover dozens of Massachusetts towns, cleaning out, picking up, and delivering to your home, second homes, your kid’s apartment, your preferred charity, your off-site storage space, and more.

Needham Bank adds Residential Loan Officer

Matthew Chen has joined the Needham Bank Residential Lending team as vice president, residential loan officer. He will perform a range of residential lending functions with a particular focus on meeting the borrowing and deposit needs of the Chinese American community.

“I am looking forward to utilizing my Chinese language skills to help develop relationships with Chinese-speaking clients and
applicants. It is important to serve diverse communities, and my skills will be able to aid Needham Bank in this area,” Chen said.

Needham Bank maintains a Natick branch location at 17 West Central Street.
