United Trust Bank (UTB) has appointed Chris Leverett (pictured above) as a business development manager for its asset finance team.
Chris brings with him over 30 years of experience in the asset finance industry and has previously held senior business development roles at Paragon Bank, Paccar Financial and Fortis Lease.
At UTB, Chris will be responsible for developing new broker relationships in the central region, including Wales, while also maintaining the specialist bank's existing broker network in those areas.
Chris will report to Keith Sangwin, asset finance sales manager at UTB, who said: “Chris has a wealth of asset finance experience and I'm delighted he has decided to come and work with us at United Trust Bank.
“Our business has grown considerably in the last few years and we have increased the number of brokers we regularly deal with and the range of assets we'll fund and refinance.”
UTB explained that 100% of its business was introduced through brokers and was committed to supporting and developing the number of broker partners it has.
“UTB's product and service proposition together with our 'broker-only' promise differentiates us from our competitors,” added Keith.
“I am sure Chris is going to enjoy taking that message out to his existing and new broker contacts and that he will make a significant contribution to UTB's continued growth and success.”
