Berkshire Bank appointed Jim Crumlish as vice president, Asset-Based Lending and relationship manager. He will be based in Blue Bell, PA and serve the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Crumlish comes to Berkshire Bank after seven years with PNC Business Credit, beginning in its credit training program before moving on to field exam underwriting and most recently portfolio management. There, he was responsible for structuring, underwriting and managing a $400 million-dollar portfolio of middle market ABL credit lines.

“This addition of an experienced lender to Berkshire Bank is complementary to our existing commercial banking structure and market,” said Mark Foster, executive vice president, ABL manager. “It will allow us to provide products and services to a segment of the market which is attractive to us. Jim is an experienced and accomplished ABL banker who will bring us credibility in this competitive marketplace.”
