Caroline Mirakian, sales and marketing director - mortgages at UTB, said: “Fran is an excellent addition to the mortgages sales team and the knowledge she brings from her former role in underwriting is going to be a huge benefit to brokers.
“The North of England and Scotland offers a great opportunity for UTB to expand and develop its activities.
“The property markets in those regions have proven to be resilient and attractive for homebuyers and investors and with more and more customers now requiring the help of specialist lenders, it’s an exciting time for the UTB Mortgages team.”
