United Trust Bank (UTB) has appointed Johnathan Kempson (pictured) as key account manager for buy-to-let (BTL) and bridging, as it looks to strengthen broker support across the North of England and Scotland.
Kempson has more than 10 years’ experience in financial services, having previously worked at Lloyds, Metro Bank and Market Financial Solutions (MFS), where he supported brokers with non-regulated lending.
In his new role, he will focus on supporting the growth of the bank’s bridging and buy-to-let propositions across both regulated and non-regulated lending, while working closely with brokers in his region.
Andrew Ferguson, commercial director at UTB, said: “Johnathan brings a great deal of experience to the growing BTL & Bridging Sales team across unregulated and regulated lending.
“He is also very well known in the industry with excellent broker relationships across the North of England, which has been his patch for several years.
“We are also busy developing UTB’s bridging and BTL offering and delivering streamlined underwriting and improved service to brokers.
“The market is crying out for a reliable and trusted bridging lender which delivers on its promises, and Johnathan is joining the team dedicated to giving brokers the products, service and support they need and deserve.”
Kempson said: “I’m delighted to be joining UTB as they continue to transform their bridging and BTL offering and consolidate their position as a key, long-term player in unregulated and regulated bridging.
“I look forward to catching up with brokers and supporting their immediate requirements as well as sharing more about UTB’s exciting plans for the future.”
