Stance Asset Finance, a new United Trust Bank brand launching in February 2026, has appointed Alex Fowler to the role of broker development manager.
Alex has worked in financial services for 12 years with lenders including Allica Bank, Praetura Asset Finance and Amicus Finance. He has specialised in large single asset transactions, complex refinancing of assets, and is experienced in traditional hard and soft asset transactions across all sectors of the market.
In his new role with Stance Asset Finance, Alex will be responsible for building and managing strong relationships with intermediaries operating in the South of England. He will focus on driving new business growth, acting as the primary point of contact for brokers, and promoting the range of asset finance solutions.
Stance Asset Finance will be powered by UTB’s operational functions and technology but will have dedicated sales, BDM and underwriting teams.
Nathan Mollett, head of Stance Asset Finance, said: “Alex is our first hire for Stance Asset Finance, and he brings a wealth of experience and contacts which will help us to get Stance off to a flying start. We’ve had a fantastic response to our announcement that Stance is coming in 2026, and I look forward to making more appointments over the next few months.
"We are recruiting a dedicated team of exceptional sales and underwriting professionals who will help Stance change the asset finance landscape and become a significant lender in the market.”
