Together appoints National Account Manager for Network and Clubs

Specialist lender Together has announced the appointment of Andrew Douglas as new National Account Manager for Networks and Clubs.

Andrew will be providing education on Together’s diverse range of specialist lending solutions to members and advisors.

His key remit will be supporting the team in developing and launching Together’s Networks and Clubs proposition to market for the end of 2023, building and deepening relationships with the Cheadle-based lender’s partners.

Previously, he has held roles across top financial institutions, such as Halifax, Nationwide Building Society, Clydesdale Bank and Virgin Money.

Andrew said: “As one of the leading specialist lenders in the UK, I am incredibly excited to be joining Together. In a market where customer’s situations are becoming ever more complex, Together offers a variety of options to cater for different needs.

“The business has a common-sense approach to lending, and it’s clear to me how important this is to developing close and rewarding relationships with intermediary partners. I particularly like Together’s ability to evolve and adapt; always looking to find new ways to meet the needs of brokers and clients.

“I’m pleased to be able to raise awareness around the wider opportunities and benefits specialist lending can present to advisors, helping them in turn to deepen their own client relationships.”

Nick Parker, Head of Networks and Clubs at Together, said its adviser portal will be launching at the end of the year, as the team continues to engage with Network and Clubs to bring Together’s proposition to their advisers.

Nick said: “We are delighted to welcome Andrew on board to our team at Together. Our Network and Club partners are hugely important to us, and we are pleased to be able to hire top industry talent to help support our work with them.

“Having followed Andrew’s career for the last few years, we were impressed by the outstanding support he has given to his brokers and key accounts. We are working on building a networks and clubs channel that underpins our core strengths in common sense lending and hope to see this launch very soon.

“Andrew’s wealth of experience and talent will play a key role in helping us to deliver a broker centric proposition that supports our long term growth strategy and positions Together firmly as a specialist lender of choice.”
