New year, new look for BOV staff

2020 ushered in a new look for Bank of Valletta staff as the BOV uniform underwent a radical transformation. For the first time in 20 years, the bank departed from its traditional grey and maroon colours, opting for a palette of blues, white and maroon.

Last month Bank of Valletta revealed its new look uniform, a look that reflects a contemporary institution underlined by a proud Maltese heritage.

“Twenty-one new garments were designed giving staff a greater variety of styles to choose from. The uniform is sharper, provides a more professional look and allows an element of individuality and personal style, which in turn, create a very interesting effect," said Rita Demarco from BOV Customer Service Centre, also a couturiere and consultant in this field.

Elaine Fenech from BOV Human Resources stated: “Uniforms tend to get stale and boring. We wanted something that is versatile and provides employees with different choices and looks. So if I feel like wearing a blue shirt, I can, if I want to wear my scarf in a different way, I can. Apart from having a professional look, we made sure to address style, quality and comfort.”

“The new uniform was chosen by a group of employees, who worked closely with the supplier,” declared Jes Sciberras from BOV PR & Marketing. “Trials were carried out prior to production stage and the bank listened to staff feedback. This resulted in a smart uniform that fits all shapes and sizes.”
