United Trust Bank expands bridging sales team for growth

By Bridging Loan Directory 1st October 2024

United Trust Bank is continuing to develop its Bridging Sales Team to deliver the Bank’s ambitious growth plans into 2025 and beyond and ensure excellent broker service and support.

Paula Purdy has become Sales Director – Bridging and will continue to work closely with Director of Bridging Sundeep Patel and will be instrumental in driving new business growth and supporting various projects within the division.

Paul Delmonte has been appointed to the new position of Head of National Accounts – Bridging.

Paul will build on his success as a Key Account Manager and focus on building strong relationships with networks and clubs as well as managing other key distribution channels.

Gary Lomax has become Key Account Manager – North, continuing his success supporting brokers across the North of England and Scotland and further developing UTB’s activity in those areas.

The Internal Sales Team are now Internal Relationship Managers, reflecting the strong direct ties many of the team have with brokers nationally.

The team will continue to work closely with the Field Sales Team in supporting their broker relationships and activities.

Announcing the changes, Sundeep Patel, Director of Bridging – United Trust Bank, said:

“UTB Bridging has enjoyed a strong year to date, and our restructuring of the division’s Sales function by merging the Internal and Field Sales teams to provide further dedicated support has gone down very well with brokers.

These latest changes to the Sales team are key to the successful delivery of our growth plans next year and signal even greater levels of broker support across all regions.

I’m delighted Paula, Paul and Gary have taken on their new roles and I’m excited about the Bank’s plans for 2025 and beyond in making UTB the home of bridging.”
