Mike Walters and Buster Tolfree win Top Awards at the British Specialist Lending Awards 2022

United Trust Bank’s (UTB) Mike Walters and Buster Tolfree have each picked up prestigious awards at the British Specialist Lending Awards 2022.

Mike Walters, Sales Director – Mortgages, won the ‘Head of Sales’ award and Buster Tolfree, Director of Mortgages, made it four in a row by winning the Business Leader Award in the Second Charge Lender category for an amazing 4th year running.

The British Specialist Lending Awards celebrate the exceptional efforts of the best performing individuals in the specialist sector of the UK mortgage industry. The awards go to those individuals working in a range of non-mainstream areas who have truly gone beyond expectation and demonstrated excellence over the course of the preceding 12 months.

Mike Walters, Sales Director – Mortgages, commented: “Although these awards recognise individual achievements, I wouldn’t be holding this trophy were it not for the support of my amazing BDMs and the wider UTB Mortgages team. At UTB we do our best to put our people in a position to do the best job they can and when we succeed, whether as a Bank or as an individual, we share in the success. I’d like to thank the team and the many supportive brokers who’ve contributed to our performance over this past year.”

Buster Tolfree, Director of Mortgages, commented: “UTB remains an active and reliable supporter of the second charge market, and we have continued to promote the product’s many benefits and educate brokers on its versatility and speed. However, I was still gob-smacked to receive this award for the fourth year in a row, especially when considering the competition in the room. My thanks to UTB’s Mortgage team and the brokers who continue to support us, and congratulations to Mike for his ‘Head of Sales’ award which is thoroughly deserved.”
