Together hires Robert Goodall as lending director

Goodall (pictured) comes with more than two decades of experience in the commercial property market and will be based at Together’s headquarters in Cheadle, south Manchester.

In his new role at Together, he will be responsible for planning, organising and directing the finance company’s commercial lending operations.

Goodall will also sit on the group’s credit committee when he joins the company in May.

The chartered surveyor previously ran his own company Goodall Investments, advising on the purchase, asset management and disposal of commercial property across the UK.

He also has experience of development finance, having acted as a consultant for Goldentree Financial Service.

Marc Goldberg, commercial chief exexcutive at Together, said: “Robert is somebody who has more than 20 years of experience as a chartered surveyor and not only deeply understands the property business but also has a wide-ranging knowledge of finance.

“He is a great addition to the team and will be able to work together with his strong network of clients, as well as Together’s existing customers and introducers, in making lending decisions and delivering our message of commonsense lending across the UK.”

Goodall added: “When I came to Together, I was really impressed with the size and the scale of the business as it is.

“However, seeing its ambitious plans, and where it could go over the next three to five years, has confirmed I’ve made the right decision.

“I’ll be joining an already-strong team and having the chance to help to grow the business will be fantastic.”
