Together makes internal promotion for development director role

Specialist mortgage lender Together has promoted its corporate managing director, Chris Baguley (pictured), to the newly created role of group channel development director.

Baguley, who joined the Cheadle-based property lender in 2006, previously held senior posts at Manchester Building Society and Yorkshire Bank, where he specialised in commercial banking, during a career spanning nearly 35 years.

In his new role, Baguley will be providing strategic support and launching new initiatives, aimed at further building the brand across commercial and personal finance markets to drive future growth for the £6.2 billion specialist lender.

“It’s a huge honour to be taking up this new post within such an amazing business,” Baguley commented on his promotion. “I am proud to have been part of the journey to drive this forward over the past 17 years.

“I’m looking forward to exploring ways in which I can help deliver Together’s growth ambitions across the wider UK lending marketing; driving a collaborative approach across each business area in the group as we deliver on our plans for the next five years.”

Marc Goldberg, chief executive of group sales and distribution at Together, said it was incredibly excited to see Baguley stepping into the new role.

“Chris is a long-standing and much-valued member of our senior team at Together,” he continued. “His experience, drive and passion for everything we do as a business will continue to be an asset to Together. We are excited to see what he can bring to this new position.”
