United Trust Bank has announced the appointment of two new asset finance business development managers (BDMs).
The pair, Klara Hanrahan and Kevin Bristow, will be responsible for developing new broker relationships in the South of England whilst also maintaining United Trust Bank’s existing broker network.
Both will report to UTB’s head of sales for asset finance, Keith Sangwin.
Hanrahan (pictured) joins from Paragon Bank where, she worked for nine years as a sales executive, providing asset finance and refinancing funding solutions to SMEs.
Bristow has over 35 years of experience in asset finance both on the funder and, most recently, broker sides of the industry. He joins UTB from LHE Finance, a transport focused lease brokerage, where he spent 12 years.
Sangwin said: ‘I’m delighted to welcome Klara and Kevin to the UTB team. United Trust Bank’s Asset Finance business has grown considerably in the last few years and we have ambitious plans to develop our broker network across the UK. We are also continuing to widen the range of assets we’ll fund and refinance and increase our business volumes further. However, we will never lose sight of the fact that our reputation is built on our exemplary broker service.
“As we grow we will ensure that we have the right people in the team to guarantee the high levels of service brokers and their clients deserve.”
