In her role she will manage the bank’s mortgage sales operation and work with United Trust Bank’s director of mortgages, Buster Tolfree, in developing and delivering strategy of increasing awareness and distribution in the residential, second charge and buy-to-let markets.

Tolfree said: “Caroline is a fantastic hire for UTB with unparalleled experience and achievements in mortgage sales and distribution. She has bags of energy and enthusiasm and is going to be a great fit for our already exceptional team.

“She is exactly the right person to deliver our growth plans and ensure UTB continues to extend its reach and influence across the specialist mortgage market over the coming years.”

Mirakian added: “I am excited to be joining UTB at a time when specialist lending is a critical element of an intermediary’s tool kit. UTB is a forward thinking, ambitious and innovative brand with very special people at the heart of it, all passionate about making a difference.

“I look forward to working with Buster and the fantastic team to drive the sales and marketing strategy as it continues to evolve to meet the current velocity of change in our market and enter the next stage of the bank’s exciting growth journey.”
