United Trust Bank (UTB) has revealed the line-up of business development professionals tasked with expanding the bank’s bridging and mortgage products.
Rob Love and Nick Warren have been joined by Chris Pedlar, Paul Mansell, Andy Keehner and Mike Walters. Love, Warren and Walters will focus on bridging, looking after their existing contacts and developing new ones. Walters will be introducing the Bank’s bridging offer to brokers in Wales and the South West.
Pedlar, Mansell and Keehner will introduce UTB’s mortgage and bridging products to brokers across the country. Pedlar will cover the Midlands, Mansell the North and Scotland, and Keehner will serve brokers in East Anglia and London.
Jigar Patel will continue as key account manager, assisting brokers with training and compliance matters for the mortgage side of the division.
In addition to developing the team of BDMs, brokers will also see other changes to support the growth of the combined mortgages & bridging division.
Jo Edwards, business development director – mortgages & bridging, said: “I am delighted to introduce UTB’s new BDM team for mortgages and bridging. We have exciting plans for the future, and these guys have the skills, experience and drive to help us achieve the substantial potential we see from taking UTB’s products and services to brokers across the UK.
“Brokers appreciate our competitive pricing and swift turnaround at initial enquiry resulting in quick, reliable credit approved decisions. These are the cornerstones of UTB’s service, so combined with changes designed to deliver a slicker, more streamlined process from DIP to drawdown, brokers will have even more reason to recommend UTB for their clients’ bridging needs. With our new BDM team out on the road supported by talented underwriters and case managers back in the office, I’m looking forward to seeing UTB grow its mortgage and bridging business significantly over the next few years.”
