Advisers at SimplyBiz and Personal Touch have been given access to My Broker Venue – Together's online portal – where they can submit cases and get a full instant decision-in-principle, with support on hand from the lender's team of experts.

Richard Tugwell, group intermediary relationship director at Together, said: "It is an exciting time for us as we continue to expand, and we are really pleased to be working with both SimplyBiz Mortgages and Personal Touch as we reach out to even more brokers across mainland UK."
