“The sector is fundamental to our economy and will play an important role as we invest in our future, whether that’s building the homes we live in, or the schools and hospitals we rely on.  

“These businesses have shown their resilience throughout the pandemic and many of them are now looking to invest in and grow their business. Our research shows that construction SMEs plan to invest on average £119,114 in growth strategies over the next 12 months.  

“Yet access to finance can be a significant barrier to growth, as cited by one in five construction SMEs, so we are delighted to be expanding in this space, to better support businesses in their growth ambitions as they help level up the UK.” 

Aldermore will be launching their new construction proposition at Plantworx, the UK’s largest working construction equipment exhibition, from 13-15 June in Peterborough.
