By Bridging Loan Directory 26th February 2025

Property lender Together has announced two new partnerships with New Leaf and Brilliant Solutions, further expanding its reach to customers across the UK.

These two companies are the latest in a series that have signed up to Together’s bespoke Network and Club portal, where they are able to submit regulated first charge mortgages, Buy-to-Let (BTL) and Consumer BTL applications direct to the Cheadle-based lender.

Founded in 1994, Brilliant Solutions is a mortgage club and specialist mortgage packager in the residential, buy to let, secured & commercial sectors.

It operates across all forms of mortgages and all available distribution channels.

New Leaf is a boutique, family-owned network operating since 2004.

It has over 250 advisers giving advice across all areas of the financial services sector, including residential mortgages, equity release, personal and business protection, pensions, investments and a full estate planning service.

The member firms will also be able to submit cases for additional specialist products including Together’s bridging, commercial term and second charge loans.

Tanya Elmaz, director of intermediary sales at Together, 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 advisors 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.”

In addition, Together has appointed industry specialist Andrea Roberts as national account manager in its Networks and Clubs Team, looking after Brilliant Solutions.

Andrea brings with her 30 years experience, having held account manager and business development manager positions for Hodge Bank and Principality Building Society.

Andrea said:

“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.”

Tanya Elmaz 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.”
