Get to know… Rebecca, our Underwriting Operations Director.
About me
“Hi, I’m Rebecca Alden, the Underwriting Operations Director here at Together, and I joined the company 4 years ago. My day-to-day role is in operations leadership and includes supporting and developing colleagues whilst ensuring that the underwriting department runs smoothly and that our processes are consistently delivering for our brokers and customers across both the regulated and unregulated business.
What I enjoy the most in my role is supporting colleagues in their development and watching them grow, taking on new responsibilities and progressing in their careers. I also enjoy the autonomy of my role and being able to innovate and shape our processes to support our brokers and customers. I have worked in finance pretty much all my life, so I guess I found the career for me early on.”
Highlights
“When I first joined Together in early 2021, our Commercial Underwriting team were able to process an average of 264 loans per month. I was tasked with increasing our capability to cater for 1000 loans per month to support our business growth. We hit that target last year and I’m looking forward to seeing that number grow even more in the future."
Supporting our clients
“Since joining Together, I’ve been so impressed with my colleagues and their passion for delivering for customers. The speed of service is definitely a Together USP and one we are very proud of, but we are always looking for ways to improve our service and not stand still.
The relationship we have with our brokers is key to our service. When we understand the deal and its well packaged, this undoubtedly means things progress smoothly and at pace. Communication is key, and if we’re missing anything, we’ll always attempt to call the broker to explain what we need and why we need it.”
Why brokers should work with Together
“Together is flexible, fast and real people look at cases and make decisions, not computers. Our underwriters have all been trained to have the unique Together common-sense lending mindset and with our broad criteria we really are a lender who can help most customers achieve their property ambitions.”
At Together, we work with brokers, packagers and intermediaries of all sizes including Network and Club members, helping them get the right outcomes for their clients.
