United Trust Bank (UTB) has seen an increase in new business enquiries since completing four Bridging Masterclasses for brokers across the country.

The aim of the sessions was to introduce brokers to key figures and decision makers in the Bank’s bridging division as well as providing an overview of bridging and the specialist lender’s regulated and unregulated offerings.

The four sessions took place in February and March in Cardiff, Darlington, Motherwell and St Albans with around 80 brokers attending the Masterclasses.

Paula Purdy (pictured), head of sales – bridging, at United Trust Bank, said: “Bridging is an incredibly versatile form of property finance, and it has been great to get out on the road, meet brokers and share what makes UTB an outstanding bridging lender.

“Feedback from the post event survey was excellent with brokers giving us scores of 96-100% for the range of topics covered, information provided, quality of the presentations and the organisation of the events. This response, and the uplift in enquiries we’ve had since, means we’ll certainly be running similar sessions for more brokers in the future.”
