United Trust Bank (UTB) has appointed Adam Ware as a business development director in its structured property finance division.

Ware (pictured) joins UTB from Hilltop Credit Partners where he was vice president, head of origination and prior to that was a senior manager at Octane Capital.

He has experience across a variety of commercial and residential real estate finance sectors including structured, pre-development, property investment finance and complex bridging and worked with HNWI and corporate clients, off-shore entities and family offices providing £multi-million bespoke facilities.

In his new role at UTB, Ware will report to divisional head, Gerard Morgan Jackson and largely focus on developing the bank’s lending to clients across Central London and the South of England.

Jackson said: “Adam brings a great deal of experience to the team and most importantly he shares our passion for delivering bespoke solutions outside of a traditional criteria led framework. Our goal is to create long term relationships which extend beyond single transactions.

“We assist our customers in the growth of their businesses, tailoring the funding we provide to meet their changing needs and evolution. We create true partnerships enabling our clients to prosper however uncertain the economic climate may be.”

Ware added: “UTB have established a great reputation as an innovative lender which quickly delivers the creative, bespoke funding more commonly found at privately backed lenders, but with the robust and reliable funding of a successful retail bank.

“I enjoy working offering a solutions led approach to lending, structuring the product around the client’s needs and I’m looking forward to working with Gerard and the UTB team as they continue to grow and expand their offering to customers delivering the very highest levels of personal service.”
