McIntosh (above) was most recently with Hampshire Trust Bank, as head of new business operations, where she played a key role in re-platforming HTB’s asset finance operations in 2020 following a 12-week implementation.

Her initial focus will be leading UTB’s investment in the development and implementation of a new asset finance platform to ensure the division continues to deliver the highest levels of broker and customer service, accelerates deal turnaround times and enable quick broker pay-outs as the Bank continues to transact record levels of new business.

Nathan Mollett, head of asset finance at UTB, said: “We have just delivered record-breaking results for the first six months of 2021 in our AF business. Earlier this year we announced an increased appetite for funding high-value cars and our plans to write larger transactions and both these initiates have had an immediate impact.
