Specialist lender Together is focusing on growth in the Yorkshire commercial lending market by
expanding its team with a senior appointment.

 

Matt Boggan has been appointed the specialist lender’s new Business Development Director for the
region.

 

The financial services group has bolstered its regional teams with two additional corporate
relationship directors working alongside Matt, in response to fast-growing demand for its flexible
secured lending products across the UK.

 

Together – which has a loan book of more than £4.8billion – aims to provide finance for a wide range
of customers from large businesses clients to individual investors, who are seeking to raise capital or
acquire property or land.

 

The company became a corporate member of the Yorkshire Asian Business Association (YABA) this
month.

 

Matt, who has 15 years’ experience in financial services, was appointed to grow Together’s business
by working alongside professional introducers. He joins from Triodos Bank, where he managed
relationships with clients such as third sector organisations, charities, social enterprises and housing
associations.

 

Matt said: “I’m delighted to be able to use my experience to help ambitious and entrepreneurial
businesses in Yorkshire. Together has been lending for nearly half a century and in that time has
acquired a vast knowledge of specialist lending in the commercial property sector.

 

“We’re keen to reach borrowers in the region realise their ambitions by making finance work.”

 

He will report to Sean Williams, head of professional sector at Together.

 

Sean said: “We’re delighted to welcome Matt to the team. He brings with him exceptional levels of
experience, knowledge and ambition to drive forward our successful business.

 

“Matt will help us support even more individuals, businesses and their advisers with fast and flexible
finance, tailored to their needs.”

 

Earlier this month, Together announced it has broken its all-time record for the second month in a
row. The finance group, which provides personal and commercial mortgages, bridging loans and
development finance across the UK, revealed its monthly figures for May – and total new lending of
£300.8million.

 

The figure, which includes lending for commercial and personal finance, is an 8% increase on its
previous record of £277million set in April.
