United Trust Bank appoints Underwriter

United Trust Bank (UTB) has announced that it has recruited experienced underwriter Rob Irving to its asset finance credit team.

Irving is a highly experienced asset finance professional with a career in commercial banking spanning nearly 20 years. He joins UTB as senior underwriter from Wesleyan Bank and has previously held positions with Haydock Finance and RBS.

Nathan Mollett, Head of Asset Finance at United Trust Bank said “Rob has a pragmatic and commercial approach to lending and enjoys speaking directly to brokers to get deals agreed quickly. He’s an excellent fit for the team and brings experience and knowledge which will be put to very good use as he supports brokers from his base in the North-West.”

“One of UTB’s key strengths is our commitment to delivering outstanding service to brokers and encouraging direct dialogue with credit, something fewer and fewer funders are willing to do. Rob is our first ‘home-based’ underwriter, a move which has been enabled by UTB’s investment in technology to make home working not just possible but seamless. We will continue to invest in talented people and in technology which bring us closer to our broker partners and allow us to build even stronger, more successful relationships.”
