Together appoints two managers in commercial division

Specialist lender Together has appointed two managers to its commercial team in David Walsh and Mareeza Mitri.

Walsh (pictured, centre) has joined as a commercial underwriting manager and will oversee the commercial broker teams, focusing on bridging, commercial and semi-commercial lending.

Mitri (pictured, right) is taking the role of buy-to-let manager.

Walsh said: “It’s a really exciting time at Together as the business continues to grow, and I wanted to be part of that journey.

“I had worked with the team previously, so was familiar with Together’s products and felt my skills would be an asset to the commercial side of the business.”

And Mitri said: “The buy-to-let sector continues to perform well and the creation of this new role is testament to Together’s commitment to its commercial growth plans.

“I had worked with Together, on the broker side, for over a decade, so I have a good knowledge of the business and a rounded understanding of the lending process.”

Walsh has over 15 years’ experience in financial services, with previous roles at the Accident Credit Group,

Lloyds Banking Group and Morgan Stanley’s Advantage Home Loans.

Mitri meanwhile has over 12 years’ experience in underwriting, and joins from V Loans, where she focused on both residential and buy-to-let second charge mortgages.

Together provides short-term finance, auction finance, residential, commercial and buy-to-let mortgages and secured loans.

Irene Thomas (pictured, left), director of commercial operations at Together, said: “We are expanding the commercial team in order to meet our growth targets and we’re delighted to be welcoming both David and Mareeza.

“They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team that will benefit Together, and our customers, as we move forward, and I’m really excited about the next chapter."
