Together hires two new business Underwriters

Property lender Together has announced the appointment of two new roving Underwriters, Chris Evans and Emma Ogilvie, to its intermediary sales team.

Evans will be taking up the role of Head of roving Underwriters, managing the team of commercial rovers, whilst continuing to underwrite commercial applications for Together.

He brings a wealth of experience in the industry across 20 years. He worked for 10 years at Legal & General in their intermediary wealth departments and eight years as a mortgage, second charge and bridging finance broker. He also spent nearly three years at Pepper Money as Head of Referrals.

Ogilvie joins Together as commercial finance roving underwriter. She will be on hand to help brokers achieve the best possible outcomes for their clients; managing accounts across the south of the UK, communicating and providing specific feedback on individual cases.

She has nearly nine years’ experience in the industry, beginning her career as a trainee broker at The Buy to Let Business before moving on to a broker support role at Dynamo for Intermediaries, formerly Buy to Let Club. During her time at Dynamo, she took on a specialist underwriting role within the business dedicated to Together applications. She also spent a year with criteria sourcing platform Knowledge Bank in a central functions role.

The two new appointments come as Together moves to combine its roving underwriter teams, for commercial and personal finance, into one, sitting within the lender’s Intermediaries team.

Tanya Elmaz, Director of Intermediary Sales, said “We are delighted to welcome Chris and Emma to the team. They have a huge amount of experience across the industry, and a good understanding of our company and values from working with us in the past.”

“They will both play key roles in our roving underwriter team, supporting our incredible partners to help customers achieve their property ambitions.”
