Banking that keeps your business on solid ground, from foundation to finish
In construction, financial challenges are part of the job. Payments delay, costs overrun, schedules shift — and you need a banking partner who understands what that feels like.
That’s why we don’t just offer banking products – we offer people. Bankers who know construction and are ready to roll up their sleeves to help you work through it, fast. With nearly 200 years of banking heritage and decades working directly with developers, contractors, and suppliers, we bring the tools, the connections, and the hands-on experience to help your business stay on solid ground.
Bankers with decades under the hard hat – from groundworks to grand openings, we’ve been there for 30+ years
When you work with us, you get more than a banker – you get a construction finance specialist with decades of sector experience, who’s seen the booms, the busts, and the unforeseen curveballs along the way.
They know what happens when materials costs spike mid-project or when a delayed payment from a client puts your whole supply chain under pressure, because they’ve been through it with businesses just like yours.
That’s why 97% of our clients trust not just our financial solutions, but our strategic guidance too, because your banker brings real-world construction knowledge, not just spreadsheets.
And behind them, a dedicated client support team keeps your day-to-day banking running smoothly – people who know your business inside-out and are ready to step in when you need them.
Let’s put all that experience to work for you

The right network can build more than your next project
In construction, the right connections can be just as valuable as the right funding – and your banker brings both.
With decades spent working in the sector, your banker has built trusted relationships across construction, from legal and tax advisers to investors, developers, and suppliers. And when you bank with us, you also become part of our wider client community – a network of business leaders across construction and beyond, brought together through exclusive events and introductions.
Are you ready to build a stronger future for your business?
Success in construction depends on strong financial foundations. Talk to a dedicated banker today to find out how the right banking support can help manage cash flow, secure funding, and plan for long-term growth.
Hand over the tools – and the ownership
If you’re considering an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), we can help you explore your options. Your banker can connect you with specialist advisors who support construction businesses through every stage of the EOT journey – from first conversations to full conversion.
