Roma Finance has welcomed Nick Jones as its new commercial director, while ending the furlough for its entire operational team.

Jones (pictured) has now officially joined Roma from Together and is currently embedding into the business, responsible for the overall commercial strategy, identifying opportunities, developing new products and overseeing sales and marketing.

He said: “I am delighted to be with Roma Finance and have received a very warm welcome. I’m extremely passionate about the intermediary market and I’m very excited to be a part of shaping the direction of the business.

“I am grateful to Together for the support and opportunities they gave me, and I am proud to have played a part in its development and I want to wish the Together team every success for the future.”

His former boss, Marc Goldberg, commercial CEO at Together, added: “Nick is a talented individual who is highly experienced and diligent. He made a significant impact for the business and was a strong positive influence on those around him. We will miss Nick and wish him every success for the future.”

Meanwhile, the final team members on furlough have returned and Roma is actively recruiting to continue to support its growing customer base.

Scott Marshall, managing director at Roma Finance, added: “It continues to be a very exciting time here at Roma and I am absolutely delighted to welcome Nick to the family and the remaining members of the team back from furlough.

“It has become clear with the recent growth that we need to upscale the team numbers to ensure we can still provide outstanding service and we will have multiple new announcements in the coming weeks.”
