What’s unique about Chapman Construction Group Inc.—other than their proven track record—is that they’re a woman-owned company in one of the most male-dominated industries. A big moment, as they tell it, was when Eastern Bank approved them for their first loan. Eastern Bank's support of the Chapman team has encouraged owners Sue and Vicki Chapman to continue to break stereotypes through excellent service.

“They opened up the door for us to be able to purchase the building and the whole process was very simple and easy,” Says Roger Garcia, co-owner of April's Pub and Grill. “[They] even checked on us to see how we were doing after we purchased the building. It makes you feel good, and it makes you feel that there is someone out there that actually cares.”

“They’ve met our needs. They’ve been responsive. They’re fun to work with. It’s a winning formula for both parties.” Says Neal Ouellett, CEO of Living Innovations, on his partnership with Eastern Bank. From providing loans to lining up mortgages, Eastern Bank has helped Living Innovations fulfill its mission of supporting people with disabilities live a good life.
