Zions Bancorporation is a bank-holding company that’s one of the largest banks in the United States. Founded by Brigham Young as a lender to fellow Mormons, it is now traded on the NASDAQ. This bank was hit by the recession and got a $1.4 billion investment from the Feds, which it completely repaid (with interest) in 2012. The majority of the bank was sold to a private group of LDS investors in 1960 who have built it into a huge institution with specialized lending for everyone from the first-time home buyer seeking a mortgage, to seniors looking for retirement wealth management, to growing businesses wanting to expand internationally. The bank that pulled out of a local Pride parade sponsorship many years ago is now LGBTQ friendly in hiring and marketing and in giving loans to minorities. Zions has come a long way, baby, and our readers have noticed. Multiple locations, ZionsBank.com
The days of “plumber’s crack” are over. Nowadays, these professionals show up with booties and gloves to repair your leaks, plugs, cold furnaces and hot air conditioners. Manwill employees have a dirty job most of us don’t have the stomach and endurance for, but they’ve been helping Utahns since 1920. That’s almost a hundred years of “fatbergs”! Founder Vearl Manwill traveled in northern Utah by horse to install “modern” carbide lanterns and piping in farmhouses and was one of the first to install indoor lighting systems in this country. He moved his operation to a garage in Salt Lake in 1927 and the rest is a history of service along the Wasatch Front. Looking for a great career? They pride themselves on a swell training program for potential repairers and installers, too. 385 E. 3900 South, Murray, 801-262-4671, Manwill.net
