Specialist lender Together has expanded its commercial sales teams by appointing three new business development directors in the regions.

Kash Moghul will be driving the group’s growth in London and the South and East, while Chirag Mistry will be responsible for the Midlands and Gordon Spotten the North West.

The finance firm – which has a £4billion loan book – has also hired new business development managers; Jacob Tate, Joshua Stevens, Thomas Gill, Greg Applewhaite, Peter Wright and Marcus Lunt, and expanded its telesales team based at its headquarters in Cheadle, Greater Manchester.

The new telesales recruits are Taylor Green, James Ireland, Susan Nicholson, Marc English, Camilla Scott, Andrew Ralph and Hugo Wemyss.

Katie Melbourne, who has worked at Together for nearly five years, has been appointed the team’s sales manager and she will report directly to Kerry Haworth, internal sales director at Together.

Haworth said: “We’re delighted to welcome the new members of the team as we launch our new retention strategy – reaching out to our existing customers to support them with the finance they need to realise their ambitions.

“We already have a strong presence in the regions and we will be building on this to increase our commercial lending to existing and new customers across the UK, while our new BDMs and telesales colleagues will provide a point of contact for clients calling and visiting our headquarters.

“In our annual results, we revealed that we’ve returned to pre-pandemic funding levels and our new recruits will help us as we grow the business further over the next few years.”
