Specialist lender Together has announced that it supported more than a thousand customers with loans totalling £242m in the month of August.
In a further breakdown, the company also reported that its month-end total for bridging finance, including both regulated and unregulated loans, stood at £121m.
Marc Goldberg (pictured), chief executive of sales and distribution at Together, described the figures as “amazing.” He went on to say: “We’re delighted to have delivered excellent results, exceeding our financial targets last month, supporting 1,053 loans to our customers, allowing them to achieve their financial ambitions.”
Goldberg added: “To have lent £121m in bridging across our group business in the month was a real milestone, but the fact that this only represented half of our total lending as a business across all our products in August, is something we are really pleased to announce.”
Goldberg emphasised that the lending figures for August were notable, especially for what is often considered a quieter month in the industry. However, he stressed that quality of service remains the company’s priority. “The impact we are having on our colleagues, customers and business partners is something that we continue to be incredibly proud of as a business,” he said.
The announcement follows Together’s recent receipt of its first external accreditation from CCA Global, a leading authority on customer contact strategies and operations. The lender underwent a rigorous three-month assessment in which all aspects of their customer-facing processes were appraised.
