United Trust Bank (UTB) has appointed experienced real estate finance specialist Liam Lawlor to the role of sales director – structured property finance.
Lawlor, who has worked in financial services for nearly 20 years holding senior positions with lenders including Octopus Real Estate, Octane Capital and Metro Bank, has joined UTB from Maslow Capital where he was senior director – short term finance.
In his new role, he will report to Alex Tyrrwhit, director – structured property solutions.
Tyrwhitt said: “Liam is an experienced real estate finance professional, and I am excited to welcome him to the UTB team. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Liam at Octane and he fully deserves the fantastic reputation he’s established in the real estate finance industry. He is deeply knowledgeable and totally committed to delivering bespoke funding solutions quickly and with unrivalled service. He is an excellent addition to the team and I am sure he will help us to achieve even greater success in 2026.”
Lawlor added: “UTB’s structured property solutions division has grown rapidly and I’m looking forward to working with Alex and the team as we maintain that momentum and position UTB as the go-to structured property finance lender for larger and more complex funding requirements. My aim is to build on the team’s record -breaking performance last year, further develop our relationships with brokers, debt advisories and investors and ensure we push the bar even higher for years to come.”
