Together appoints new head of national accounts




Together has appointed John Truswell (pictured above) as head of national accounts to strengthen its intermediary relations team.

John – who has joined the specialist lender from Capital Home Loans – brings extensive experience to his new role having spent 21 years as head of national accounts at Virgin Money and its predecessor Northern Rock.

At Together, John will focus on building intermediary relationships across the group in both the personal finance and commercial businesses.

John said: “This is a great opportunity to get involved with a business which has big ambitions and a customer-focused and innovative approach to delivering the best outcomes.

“Together has become firmly established as a leader in the specialist sector with its commonsense lending philosophy and willingness to look beyond the ‘tick box’ criteria to assess cases individually, so I’m looking forward to introducing more brokers to our offering as the business continues to expand.”

Richard Tugwell, group intermediary relationship director at Together, said: “John’s knowledge of the intermediary market will be invaluable as we strengthen Together’s position in the industry.

“I’m delighted to have him join us and am looking forward to an exciting phase of growth as we broaden our reach and develop relationships with more brokers across the UK.”

Together has a current loan book in excess of £2bn, and total annual new lending for 2016 stood at just under £1.1bn.
