Bridging specialist Alternative Bridging Corporation has recruited Claire O’Brien (pictured) as head of underwriting.

In her role, she will lead the underwriting team, building on the company’s “strong reputation for providing decisions with speed and certainty” and structure solutions for complex cases.

O’Brien joins from United Trust Bank (UTB) where she worked for around four years as bridging finance manager, and before that spent nearly two decades at Allied Irish Bank.

Prior to that she worked at Natwest for around nine years as a business banking relationship manager.

Stephen Meller, director at Alternative Bridging Corporation, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Claire to the team. She has exceptional banking experience and a long track record in building relationships both internally and externally.

“She will be an asset to our growing team and play an important role in helping us to further enhance our reputation for great service.”

O’Brien added: “Alternative Bridging stands out from the crowd in a competitive bridging market because of its reputation to make even complex cases straightforward, its depth of property expertise and its innovative products. I’m looking to help build on this and make a difference for even more brokers and their clients.”
