Alexandrou (pictured) has worked in real estate finance for nearly 10 years, holding senior sales roles with lenders including Octopus Real Estate and most recently Cohort Capital, where he was head of sales for residential lending.
He will work alongside recently appointed Bradley Illman, head of sales for bridging, and report to Andrew Ferguson, commercial director of mortgages, BTL and unregulated bridging.
His first task will be to develop UTB’s BTL and unregulated bridging proposition in support of the bank’s growth plans for 2026 and beyond.
Ferguson said: “Many exciting plans are already underway designed to transform UTB’s bridging offering, improve service to brokers, streamline underwriting, ensuring a fantastic experience and outcome for customers. Alex will be using his substantial knowledge and strong broker relationships to help shape and deliver a market-leading offering in both buy to let and unregulated bridging, catering for experienced real estate developers and landlords as well as first-time property investors. I am delighted to have Alex on the UTB team.”
Earlier this month, UTB reported that its 2025 gross lending increased to £1.98bn, up from £1.85bn in the prior year.
