The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) has announced Together as the latest lender member to join the association.
Specialist lender Together has a loan book of £7.7bn and provides a range of short-term finance solutions to support property investors, developers, and homeowners across England, Scotland and Wales, from chain-break bridging to auction finance and refurbishment loans.
The BDLA is the only trade association dedicated to representing the interests of bridging and development lenders and their customers.
Prior to Together’s membership, the BDLA represented 48 lender members with a collective loan book exceeding £10.3bn, alongside 44 associate members.
CEO of the BDLA, Vic Jannels, commented: “I’m really pleased to welcome Together as the newest lender member of the BDLA. Together is one of the largest players in bridging lending, and its commitment to becoming a member of the BDLA is an important step forward for the sector.
“The BDLA has already demonstrated record-breaking loan book volumes prior to Together joining. With Together now on board, we expect those figures to grow even further – delivering a more complete and representative picture of the sector’s size, reach and impact.
“I would also encourage any bridging lender that has not yet joined the BDLA to get in touch. Now is the time to play your part in shaping the future of our industry. Together, we can continue to raise standards, influence policy, and promote sustainable growth across the market.”
CEO of sales and distribution at Together, Marc Goldberg, added: “We’re delighted to join the BDLA and align ourselves with an organisation that is leading the way in setting standards, sharing insights, and advocating for the future of the bridging and development finance sector.
“We pride ourselves on delivering accessible, pragmatic finance for a wide range of customers and projects. Membership of the BDLA allows us to work even more closely with peers, regulators and stakeholders to drive positive outcomes across the industry.”
