Together expands intermediary team with two regional account managers

Together has appointed two industry professionals to its intermediaries team. 

James Roche and Richard Pugh have both joined the property lender as regional account managers.

James will be overseeing the South West, South Coast and South Wales, building relationships with new and existing broker partners across the area and finding solutions for their customers.

He has 20 years of experience in the industry, holding relationship director positions at Santander, Yorkshire Building Society, Cambridge & Counties Bank and Reliance Bank.

James (pictured) said: “I am thrilled to be joining the team at Together. The company has an exceptional feeling of closeness for such a large organisation, and its entrepreneurial outlook really appealed to me.

“My aim is to continue to attract the right customers that fit the Together way, building and nurturing long term partnerships with our valued brokers.”

Richard Pugh will be covering the North West, Sheffield, Huddersfield and Halifax. He brings with him 18 years industry experience, working as a business development manager at Pepper Money, Nationwide and The Mortgage Works.

Richard said: “Straight away I knew Together had a great culture; the company works at an impressive pace, with amazing people all looking to provide the best financial solution for clients.

“I am excited to broaden my own experience with new product sets and work with our broker partners, showing them how Together can help their client base.

“Building relationships and identifying new opportunities has always been a passion of mine, which fits perfectly with Together’s culture.”

Tanya Elmaz, managing director of intermediaries at Together, commented: “We are delighted to be welcoming Richard and James to our ever-growing team here at Together. Each brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to their roles, and we are excited to see them continue to flourish here.

“Our intermediaries team has been undergoing a lot of changes recently, enabling us to better serve our much-valued broker partners in finding the right solutions for customers. 

“These new additions demonstrate our commitment to bringing fast flexible finance for customers, and helping everyone achieve their property ambitions.”
