Doe was previously chief executive officer of Harpenden Building Society and a former managing director at Paragon Banking Group plc

His career in banking spans more than forty years. He spent nearly 10 years with ING Direct, progressing through senior proposition, marketing and strategy roles and ultimately appointed CEO where he managed the entire direct business in the UK.

In 2013 he joined Paragon as managing director of Paragon Bank and subsequently took the bank through regulatory authorisation from launch to profit and grew the commercial loan book to £1.5bn and deposit book to over £6bn within five years.

In 2020, Doe joined Harpenden Building Society as a non-executive director and was subsequently asked by the board of directors to take on the role of chief executive officer and lead a transformation programme to deliver sustainable growth and improved culture and capability. He stepped down from the role in April 2024.

Upon joining United Trust Bank’s board, Doe said: “I am delighted to be joining UTB and to have the opportunity to work with such a high-calibre board and management team. The bank has delivered excellent results in recent years and has enormous potential for further growth in specialist lending markets.”
