Cheadle specialist lender appoints new UK Head of Field Sales

Sean Williams (pictured) has joined Cheadle based specialist lender, Together, as Head of Field Sales.

Having previously held the role of Regional Head of Customer Banking with Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banking Group, Sean will be responsible for the professional sector team of development directors running in regions across the UK, helping entrepreneurs and SMEs realise their business ambitions.

Sean will also lead the Cheadle based lender’s auction team, which provides specialist products for landlords and investors buying residential, commercial and semi-commercial properties through some of the country’s largest auction houses.

In his last position, he led a multi-million pound landmark project to open B Works, a flagship SME hub, retail store and financial lifestyle space on Market Street in Manchester city centre. He started with Yorkshire Bank in Halifax aged 16, as a clerk. Sean said:

I can’t wait to get started. I have long been familiar with the business and its impressive growth trajectory, as well as the strong customer ethos and culture that underpins it – and I have a lot of admiration for what’s been achieved so far. It’s a fast-paced and dynamic organisation and I’m looking forward to helping realise its great ambitions for the future.”

Sean will report to Chris Baguley, commercial managing director at Together, who previously worked alongside him at Yorkshire Bank. Chris said he was “delighted” to welcome Sean to the business. He said:

He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his new position, having worked in senior banking with CYBG for many years. This will help him support and grow our commercial business, which has seen tremendous success over the past few years.”
