United Trust Bank’s Rob Irving named ‘Top Underwriter of the Year’ for Second Year Running

United Trust Bank (UTB) Asset Finance Senior Underwriter, Rob Irving, has been named ‘Top Underwriter of the Year’ for the second year running at the Commercial & Asset Finance Conference.

Rob was UTB’s first home-based Asset Finance Underwriter, working directly with brokers supporting SMEs based in the North-West, Midlands and Scotland.

UTB has always encouraged brokers to take advantage of having direct access to its underwriters and Rob regularly talks to and meets up with commercial finance brokers to discuss cases and UTB’s asset finance proposition.

Management at Commercial & Asset Finance are delighted with the service from Rob and have given him their top underwriting award in 2024 and 2025.

Blair Michie, Managing Director – Commercial & Asset Finance, said: “We are pleased to once again give Rob this award. He continues to be consistently supportive of Commercial & Asset Finance working closely with our brokers and helping to complete great deals for our customers. He is approachable, knowledgeable and always available to talk cases through. Having such a close relationship with Rob makes a huge difference to the way we do business and is still a rarity amongst most funders. He thoroughly deserved to win this award for the second time.”
