Short has been appointed head of sales and will be responsible for coordinating sales activities, increasing awareness of the UTB brand in the broker community and leading the "continued expansion" of UTB in the asset finance sector.
The former managing director of Anglo Irish Asset Finance has worked as an independent consultant for the last six years and said he was motivated to join UTB as it was "a flexible and pragmatic lender" with "ambitious plans."
Bristow, former head of credit function at Hitachi Capital Business Finance, has joined UTB as credit manager and will be working with the head of the bank’s asset finance division, Martin Nixon, and underwriting manager, Peter Price, to assess the company’s "rapidly increasing numbers of asset finance proposals."
After the appointments of Price, John Cullingford and Sarah Bowyer in March, these latest two recruits mean UTB has doubled its asset finance team in 2013, which Martin said confirms the banks intention to grow its asset finance book and maintain a high level of service.
