Together has teamed up with HLPartnership (HLP) as it expands its distribution in the UK.

As part of the partnership, Together’s regulated first charge mortgages and buy-to-let (BTL) and consumer BTL products will be made available to more than 900 advisers across nearly 500 appointed representative (AR) firms.

Other specialist products such as Together’s bridging, commercial term and second charge loans will be available through HLP’s approved panel of packaging partners.

HLP commercial director Neil Hoare says: “HLP is delighted to be partnering with Together, giving its advisers direct access to help customers whose borrowing needs don’t necessarily fit the high street.”

“At the Network’s recent round of roadshows, Together’s new product range has been positively received with advisers already identifying potential customers they can place with the lender. HLP has already established a strong working relationship which can really deliver great customer outcomes.”

Meanwhile, Together has appointed Kay Richardson as national account manager.

Richardson joins from Molo where she was senior business development manager.

She previously ran her own brokerage BlueDoor Mortgages from 1999, followed by a new role training mortgage advisers for recognised industry qualifications such as CeMap.

After that she held roles at Key Retirement Solutions and Hampshire Trust Bank.

In her new role, Richardson will support the lender’s network and clubs partnership alongside existing national account manager Andrew Douglas.

Richardson comments: “I’m really looking forward to the new challenge at Together. The group has a fantastic reputation in the market for providing great service to its intermediary partners, and flexible products to their clients.”
