Together hires experienced corporate sales director to London
Property lender Together has bolstered its corporate finance team as part of its ambitious growth strategy, with the appointment of financial expert Artin Namoni.
Namoni, who has a 15-year career in financial services in UK-based and European roles, has joined the business as corporate sales director for London and the South East.
He will be responsible for building relationships with corporate clients and advisers on behalf of Together as the Manchester-based lender continues to expand its corporate proposition in all areas of the UK.
He said: “It’s a really great opportunity to join what in my opinion is the UK’s largest and best alternative finance provider, and an opportunity to work with a dynamic team to grow the company footprint in London and the South East.
“Given my previous experience, I’m looking forward to growing the Together brand and proposition in an area where it is perhaps less well known than in some areas of the UK.
“I will be working with new and existing channels and working with direct clients and professionals such as business advisers, consultants and accountants, to provide the tailored corporate finance products they are looking for with the speed and flexibility for which Together is known.”
London-based Namoni, who was born in Kosovo, began his career as a corporate development manager across Europe with German-based ASK Foods Group, after graduating from university in the UK.

Namoni set up and managed a sales team at debt fund Formax Credit before taking up a new role as a relationship manager for Allied Irish Bank (AIB) in London, where he focused on property-related and leveraged debt originations.
In 2019, he moved to Sedulo as head of finance and was promoted to commercial lending director during four years with the financial firm.

He will report to Chris Baguley, corporate managing director.
Chris Baguley said: “It’s clear from Artin’s professional background that he’ll be a tremendous asset to the team. He has a varied and wide breadth of knowledge in corporate property finance and joins at an exciting time for the business as we continue our ambitious growth across all areas of the UK mainland. It’s great to welcome Artin on board and we look forward to working with him.”
