Together has brought on Andrea Roberts as national account manager for its networks and clubs team and established partnerships with New Leaf and Brilliant Solutions.
Roberts joins Together from Hodge, where she was a national account manager for the North for around three years.
Prior to that, Roberts worked at Principality Building Society for nearly a decade. She initially worked as a mortgage and protection adviser, then as a business development manager (BDM), and then as a key account manager.
As part of her role, she will look after Brilliant Solutions, with which Together has just entered a partnership.
Tanya Elmaz (pictured), director of intermediary sales at Together, said: “We are delighted to welcome Andrea to Together. She has a deep knowledge and understanding of specialist mortgage distribution through clubs and networks, with strong relationships built up over the years, enabling strategic collaboration to achieve a shared goal and vision.
“We look forward to seeing her continue to grow the channel and support our much-valued network and club partners.”

Roberts added: “Education is something I am passionate about, and I wholeheartedly believe it is the key to success.
“My key goal is to educate members, equipping them with the knowledge of Together’s specialist lending products and the solutions we can provide for their clients, and offer guidance and support to ensure good customer outcomes.
“Together’s excellent networks and clubs channel provides the broker with the choice of how to access our first charge residential and buy-to-let products. I look forward to working collaboratively with the team at Brilliant Solutions to drive business forward and open doors for all.”
Together brings on New Leaf and Brilliant Solutions to network and club portal
Together has established partnerships with New Leaf and Brilliant Solutions, growing its reach across the UK.
The companies have been signed up for the bespoke network and club portal, so they can submit first charge mortgages, buy-to-let (BTL) and consumer BTL applications direct to the lender.
Brilliant Solutions is a mortgage club and specialist mortgage packager and New Leaf is a family-owned network.
Elmaz said: “Brilliant Solutions and New Leaf are both respected throughout the industry, and we couldn’t be happier to announce partnerships with them.
“Since the launch of our channel, we have now brought on board 11 mortgage networks and nine clubs, allowing us to reach over 23,000 advisers and 2,500 network firms.”
Michael Craig, managing director at Brilliant Solutions, said: “As a valued partner of Together, we are thrilled to be part of their ever-growing model and to introduce the Brilliant Solutions Mortgage Club to all Together brokers.
“Together’s individual approach to lending and award-winning products provide invaluable solutions, particularly for borrowers who may not be best served by mainstream lenders. We believe this partnership will bring significant benefits to our members, offering them more flexibility and opportunities to support their clients effectively.
“We look forward to working closely with Together to drive success for brokers and their clients alike.”
