Tracy Blackwell and Stephen Lockley have joined the board of United Trust Bank as non-executive directors.

The Bank has just completed the installation of a new banking system and has made several new appointments at senior levels in the bridging, development finance and asset finance divisions.

Graham Davin, chief executive officer of United Trust Bank, said: “Tracy and Stephen will bring a great deal of specialist knowledge to the United Trust Bank board. Both have successful careers in finance and their experience and counsel will prove invaluable as we continue to expand.

“Tracey’s experience as the head of investment management at Pension Corporation and Stephen’s prior role as CEO of Arbuthnot Latham Private Bankers bring a unique blend of highly relevant and expert skills to UTB. I very much look forward to working with them.

“United Trust Bank has developed considerably over the last few years to become a well-respected specialist bank. Notwithstanding the strong growth we have achieved, we still have ambitious plans and by continuing to invest in people, and bring on board talented individuals who share our vision, we can look to the future with confidence.”
