NATCHEZ — Donna G. Lindley and Karen W. Hammons of the financial services firm Edward Jones in Natchez recently received the firm’s client service excellence award for being the No. 1 client service provider in their region.

“We are honored to receive this award,” Lindley said. “The client service excellence award is special because it is a direct reflection of the relationships we have with our clients.”

This honor was bestowed upon the team based on the results of a survey in which random clients were asked to rank the service they received from the teams of their local Edward Jones branch offices.

“Donna and Karen are outstanding members of the Edward Jones team,” said Jim Weddle, Edward Jones’ managing partner. “While all of our associates understand the value of client service, it’s obvious that they have been striving to provide the best service for their clients.”

Lindley’s branch office was one of only 223 branches to receive the award out of the firm’s nearly 12,000 branch offices.

This is the second year that this Edward Jones branch office received the client service excellence award.

Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada.
