United Trust Bank (UTB) has made three new appointments to its property development team, following increased enquiries from housebuilders and developers.
The specialist lender has appointed Daniel Carlisle as senior director – property development and Sean Skelt and Gary Hunt as managers – property development.
Carlisle has over 25 years’ experience in real estate banking working with lenders including Investec, NatWest and RBS in sectors including residential development, prime housing and commercial real estate.
In his new role, Carlisle will be supporting housebuilders and developers operating across London and the South of England with a range of development finance and exit solutions.
Hunt joined UTB from Close Brothers Property Finance where he was a senior portfolio manager.
Hunt has worked in banking for nearly 25 years and in his new role, he will be working closely with senior director Paul Flannery.
Skelt joined UTB from Arbuthnot Latham, where he has spent the past four years and has also worked at Metro Bank.
He is now using his previous experience to build strong, long-term relationships with housebuilders and developers operating across Greater London and the South of England.

“With economic indicators improving, we expect housebuilders and developers to approach the future with growing confidence and for activity to increase still further.
