Specialist lender Together has appointed Kate Grimoldby as corporate affairs director.

She will report to chief financial officer Chris Adams.

Grimoldby joins from THG PLC where she was director of investor relations and strategic projects.

Before THG, Grimoldby held senior roles at Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland.

The appointment will see Grimoldby engage investors and show progression against Together’s long-term strategy, and comes as the business relocates its investor relations team to its head office in Cheadle, Greater Manchester.

Adams says: “We are delighted to welcome Kate to the team.  Given the pace that the business is growing it is essential to have onsite talent who can be close to activities and create a robust plan to communicate with our Investor population.”

Grimoldby says: “I’ve been genuinely impressed by Together’s heritage and the strategic growth that underpins its success today. I’m excited to join the Finance and Treasury teams and to help shape a compelling future direction, strengthening how we communicate our strategy, engage stakeholders, and support the business in delivering its long-term ambitions.”

Last week research from Together found half of Britons (50%) believe Brexit has harmed the housing market.
