Kilmarnock-based Bay Trust and Wealth Management Group is part of Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc.

"Eric has distinguished himself as an extraordinary leader of a wealth management organization and he will share that leadership in our focus on bringing high quality wealth management services to Richmond and Central Virginia," says Randal R. Greene, Bank of Lancaster's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"I was impressed with the vision behind the merger of two great community banks and the opportunity to serve new wealth management customers in Richmond and Central Virginia," says Nost. "I have been part of a growth model such as the one envisioned by Randal Greene and I look forward to creating an extraordinary wealth management organization."

C. Frank Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer of Virginia Commonwealth Bank, shares Nost and Greene's vision for a new organization. "Providing wealth management services to businesses, charitable foundations, trusts and high net worth individuals will properly serve our region. Eric Nost has proven that his leadership can fulfill that vision."
