United Trust Bank (UTB) has announced the retirement of Roger Tidyman and the appointment of Alice Altemaire (pictured below) as a non-executive director.
UTB revealed that after 20 years with the bank, executive director and managing director Roger has retired.
However, he will remain on the board of UTB Partners – the bank's holding company – as a non-executive director.
“Roger Tidyman's decades of experience and deep knowledge of credit and property lending will be truly missed by the staff and the board of directors,” said Richard Murley, chairman of UTB.
“Roger has spent the last 20 years at United Trust Bank and has been instrumental in its growth and success.
“As a continuing director of the bank's holding company, Roger will be able to provide a strategic view.”

Alice joins the specialist bank's board with immediate effect and brings with her considerable experience of the global motor finance sector.
Alice is an executive committee member of RCI Bank and Services, an ECB-regulated institution with €41bn (approximately £30.8bn) of assets.
Based in Paris, Alice has functional management of CFO teams in all subsidiaries and her key responsibilities include performance control, strategic and budget planning and group accounting.
“Alice's experience working at the highest level of an ECB-regulated bank that operates globally in retail savings and motor finance means that she will bring valuable specialist knowledge to the United Trust Bank board,” said Graham Davin, CEO of UTB.
“As we continue to grow and explore opportunities to expand into new markets, including the motor sector, the diverse blend of skills and expert knowledge on our board will ensure that we continue to benefit from wise counsel and challenge.”
