Admiral Money has announced the appointment of Mike Walters as sales director.

Walters (pictured) joins from United Trust Bank (UTB), where he spent six years in a number of roles, culminating in being appointed sales director – mortgages in 2021. During his time at UTB he worked across a variety of product areas, increasing distribution across first and second charge mortgages, buy-to-let, development finance and bridging.

Prior to UTB, he worked at second charge lenders Optimum Credit and Nemo Personal Finance.

Walters said: “I am extremely pleased to have started my new role. I very much enjoyed my six years at UTB working in London but I simply couldn’t ignore the opportunity to join an extremely ambitious, FTSE 100 company on my doorstep.

“Admiral Money has built an impressive business but is not resting on its laurels. It has impressive plans for the future and I have been tasked with building a team at the start of its new direction.

“I’m really looking forward to expanding the Admiral Money proposition, as well as telling intermediaries about the brand and its exciting plans for the future.”
