Together recruits new chief executive for retail arm




Specialist lender Together has appointed the former CEO of Harrods Bank as chief executive of its retail division.

Peter Ball brings with him almost 30 years of experience, having also served as Product and Commercial Director at Virgin Money Group and Senior Vice President at Bank of America.

Mike McTighe, Chairman of Together, said: “We are delighted to have Peter on board.

“His wealth of experience in the financial services industry perfectly complements the skills and expertise we have built up within our core retail division.

“This is another high-profile hire for the business and highlights our commitment to investing in a leadership team that can help drive our ongoing development, as we seek to make Together a household name across the UK.”  

Peter’s appointment follows the hiring of a number of other high-profile figures, including Colin Kersley, former CEO of M&S Bank, as a non-executive director.

Peter added: “Together is a unique business which has affirmed its position as a leader in the specialist finance sector over more than four decades of successful trading; providing finance to niche markets that are largely underserved by the mainstream UK lenders.

“The business has a great energy and a really positive business culture, with its colleagues and customers at its core, and I’m very excited to be joining Together at this time, as it continues to reshape what we think of as traditional financial services.”

Last month, Together raised £26,000 for Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
