Stance Asset Finance Appoints Rebecca Walton as business development manager as Founders Club launch approaches
Stance Asset Finance, the new asset finance brand from United Trust Bank, has appointed Rebecca Walton as business development manager for the North of England. Rebeccas’s appointment follows those of Cherrice Baffana and Alex Fowler as Stance continues to develop its dedicated sales team as it approaches a launch to Founders Club members.
Rebecca has worked in financial services and asset finance for 10 years, the last 5 spent with Haydock Finance in operational and sales roles. Most recently Rebecca was regional broker manager in the sales team. Rebecca will be using her experience to support the launch and development of Stance Asset Finance, helping to grow business volumes and establish strong relationships with brokers in the North of England.
Stance Asset Finance, which invites brokers to ‘unfollow the crowd’, will be powered by UTB’s operational functions and technology but will have dedicated Sales BDM and Underwriting teams. The new proposition will appeal to brokers representing customers in a broad range of circumstances which lie just outside of UTB’s credit criteria and deliver competitive funding and refinance solutions for a variety of hard assets across various industries and sectors. Stance will initially launch to ‘Founders Club’ members in mid-February with the wider market launch following in Q2 of 2026.
Nathan Mollett, head of Stance Asset Finance said: “I’m delighted to welcome Rebecca to the Stance Asset Finance team, joining Alex Fowler in the Field Sales team and Cherrice Baffana in Internal Sales. Rebecca’s experience and great relationships with brokers in the North of England will help us to get Stance off to a fantastic start in a region where UTB has already built an excellent reputation for competitive products and great service.
“With our launch to Founders Club members coming very soon, we are still looking for talented and enthusiastic salespeople and underwriters who will make Stance really stand out from the crowd.”
Upon joining Stance Asset Finance, Rebecca said: “Excitement is really building in the Stance team as we’re within days of launching the new business to Stance Founders Club members. I’m looking forward to getting out there and introducing Stance Asset Finance to the many brokers I’ve built strong relationships with over the last few years and helping to develop the new proposition to meet the evolving needs of brokers, especially when looking for a funder with a more flexible approach to credit.”
