Together appoints John Lowe to senior management team

Gary Beckett, who was appointed to the Together board in 2000, will be taking on the new role of group managing director and chief treasury officer, following a short transition period.

Mr Lowe, who will join Together on 5 February, was previously finance director at Coventry Building Society, a position he held from 2010, having joined the building society three years earlier.

He said: "I’m looking forward to my new role at Together and am really pleased to be joining at this exciting time, as the group continues with its long-term growth strategy and affirms its position as one of the UK’s leading specialist finance providers.”

Gary Beckett will continue his current responsibility for the group treasury, investor relations and strategic finance. In addition, he will support the group CEO in developing and implementing the group’s strategy as Together continues to expand.

Mike McTighe, group chairman at Together, said:

"We are delighted to welcome John to the group and to congratulate Gary on his new role. This announcement reflects the group’s continued strong progress and our ongoing investment in building an enhanced platform to support our future growth ambitions."
