Stance Asset Finance, a new United Trust Bank brand launching in February 2026, has appointed asset finance specialist Alex Fowler as broker development manager.
Fowler has worked in financial services for 12 years, holding roles at Allica Bank, Praetura Asset Finance and Amicus Finance, and has experience across large single asset transactions, complex refinancing and traditional hard and soft asset finance across multiple sectors.
In his new position, Fowler will be responsible for building and managing relationships with brokers and intermediaries across the South of England.
His remit includes driving new business growth, acting as the primary contact for brokers, promoting Stance’s asset finance solutions and supporting service delivery.
Stance said the role is central to establishing the brand in the asset finance market and positioning it as a competitive funding partner.
Stance Asset Finance will be powered by United Trust Bank’s operational infrastructure and technology, while operating with its own dedicated sales and underwriting teams.
The proposition will target brokers representing customers in a broad range of circumstances and will offer funding and refinance solutions for varied asset classes across multiple industries.
Nathan Mollett, head of Stance Asset Finance, said: “Alex is our first hire for Stance Asset Finance, and he brings a wealth of experience and contacts which will help us to get Stance off to a flying start.
“We’ve had a fantastic response to our announcement that Stance is coming in 2026, and I look forward to making more appointments over the next few months.
“We are recruiting a dedicated team of exceptional sales and underwriting professionals who will help Stance change the Asset Finance landscape and become a significant lender in the market.”
