Kerry and Paul join Nick Warren, Paul Mansell and Chris Pedlar and will report to Mike Walters (pictured top), who was recently promoted to head of sales.

Mike said that UTB was continuing to invest in people and technology as it sought to develop and further improve the bank’s mortgages and bridging offering to brokers across England and Wales.

“Kerry and Paul bring a great deal of experience between them and I’m sure they will be great additions to our successful BDM team.

“Since embarking on a programme to extend UTB’s services and support to brokers beyond the traditional London and South East regions, we have seen a considerable increase in new business volumes and growing interest in the benefits UTB’s bridging and specialist mortgage products can bring to brokers and their customers.

“With our bigger BDM team out on the road supported by our excellent internal sales team, case managers and underwriters back in the office, the future for UTB’s mortgage and bridging business looks very bright.”
