Together has announced two new appointments to its growing intermediary team.

Lewis Wheeler and Michael Kelsey join the Cheadle-based lender, bringing with them extensive industry experience.

Lewis joins with nearly 15 years of experience in the mortgage industry, 12 of those within the specialist sector and a total of 18 years in financial services.

He previously spent seven years as a BDM at Pepper Money and held roles including Lending Services Officer, Telephone BDM, and Senior BDM during five years at Saffron Building Society.

In his new role, Lewis will act as the face and voice of Together, which has a loan book over £8billion, for its Intermediary partners in the region.

Lewis said:

“Since joining Together I have been incredibly impressed. For such a large company, the customer-focused culture really stands out, and it’s clear that everyone is committed to achieving the right outcomes.

My goal is to add as much value as possible to our Intermediary partners, drive growth for Together, and contribute to delivering exceptional customer outcomes.”

Michael Kelsey returns to Together as a Concierge Telephone Account Manager. Michael brings an impressive 29 years of experience in the mortgage and property finance sectors.

His background spans roles at Blemain Finance, First Choice Finance, Sterling Green, and most recently as Head of Sales at Yellowstone Finance, where he worked closely with Together as a packager.

In his new role, Michael will work closely with a new cohort of brokers, developing relationships and providing a comprehensive packaging service.

Michael brings deep knowledge of Together’s offering across both commercial and personal finance.

Michael said:

“Together is a fabulous place to work and truly the juggernaut of the specialist lending industry. Our ability to fund is second to none, and the appetite for lending is unparalleled.

My ambition is to develop meaningful relationships across my region with broker introducer partners and create a territory that delivers high levels of business.”

Tanya Elmaz, managing director of intermediary sales, said:

“Both of our new starters bring exceptional sales expertise, a results‑driven approach, and a genuine passion for uncovering opportunities and strengthening partnerships.

At Together, our intermediary partners are at the heart of everything we do. By continuing to expand and invest in our team, we’re demonstrating our long‑term commitment to brokers.

These appointments will ensure we have even more dedicated support in place to understand their challenges, deliver the right solutions for their clients, and ultimately help more people realise their property ambitions.”
