Together appoints Mike Flynn as new non-executive director

Together has appointed Mike Flynn to its board as non-executive director, strengthening the specialist lender’s governance as it continues to grow its £8 billion loan book.

Flynn (main picture, inset) joins the lender this month as representative of the founder’s family. He brings more than two decades of experience in corporate governance, strategy and operational leadership, having served as a shareholder observer at Together while supporting its shareholder.

Together, founded 51 years ago by Henry Moser, now manages a loan book of £8 billion across commercial and personal finance, including residential, commercial and buy-to-let mortgages, bridging loans, auction finance and development funding.

The lender focuses on niche and underserved segments of the market, a strategy that has supported sustained expansion.

PROPERTY INTERESTS

Flynn is currently group chief executive of Bracken Property Company, overseeing the Moser family’s property interests. He also sits on the Improveasy Group board as a non-executive director.

His earlier career includes senior roles in the property, utilities and civil engineering sectors, including director at Network Plus Services Limited and other leadership positions across infrastructure businesses.

STRATEGIC INSIGHT

Flynn said: “I am delighted to join the board of Together at such an exciting time for the business. I look forward to working closely with my fellow directors to support the executive team in driving the group’s continued success.”

In its most recent annual results, for the year to June 30, the Cheadle-based group reported underlying profit before tax of £216.1 million and a loan book of £7.9 billion. Results released last month for the quarter to September 30 showed the loan book rising to £8 billion.

Together chairman Mike McTighe welcomed the appointment. He said: “His extensive experience and strategic insight, combined with his deep understanding of the Moser family’s vision, will be invaluable as Together continues to grow and deliver on its ambition to be the UK’s finance partner of choice.”
