DF Capital

Meet the DF Capital Team – James Uttley, commercial development director

How are you helping customers at the moment?

Everything the commercial development team and I do is designed to help customers prosper.  We are always looking for new and innovative ways in which we can offer the right products in a flexible, straightforward manner.

How long have you been at DF Capital?

Since September 2018

What attracted you to DF Capital / what keeps you here?

I was attracted by DF Capital’s fast paced, exciting environment.  The opportunities for career progression and to work on projects I would never been exposed to before were vast!  I’ve experienced everything and more in such a short space of time.  The variety of work, the pace and the culture of the organisation are unique and there’s never a dull moment!

What was your first job?

I was a paperboy in my teens, progressing on to sell home insurance after university.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

It really depends on if I won £10 or £10m!  £10 would go towards my next bottle of Havana7 and £10m would help me build my own home from scratch and begin a property empire!

What is the last picture/photo you took?

I was watching the horrendous England Rugby performance against Scotland and took a photo of my lucky Leeds United beer glass.  It has served me well this season at least!
