Sundeep Patel begins director of bridging role at UTB

Sundeep Patel will begin his new role as director of bridging at United Trust Bank on the 1st of November, as part of the Bank's plans to grow its short term lending business.

Sundeep has worked in the financial services industry for over 20 years, most recently as director of sales at specialist lender Together.

Earlier this year the Bank refreshed its non-regulated bridging proposition with enhanced criteria and created a team of underwriters and case managers specifically tasked with accelerating non-regulated bridging proposals.

Sundeep Patel commented: “I am really excited to get to work at UTB and I am looking forward to finally meeting the whole bridging team and catching up with people I haven’t seen since the summer. We have exciting plans to kick off as we set out on a journey to make UTB the first choice for all bridging finance - #thehomeofbridging."

Mark Stokes, chief commercial officer at United Trust Bank, commented: “It has been a frustrating wait for Sundeep and the Bank, but we are delighted that he is finally joining the team on the 1st of November and can continue to build on what has been an extremely busy and interesting year for UTB’s bridging business.

“Owen Bentley and Nikki Brett have been outstanding in maintaining Bridging’s momentum and delivering a superb performance. I am confident that Sundeep, Owen and Nikki will be a strong and successful team, leading UTB’s bridging business to the top of the table and achieving our long-term objectives.”
