Our Director of Construction, Gary Burns added: “Some really encouraging figures overall in the Asset Finance world and even more so in the Construction Sector with growth of 23% on 2021 October figures”.
“A sign that the supply issues are maybe easing slightly and hopefully the growth continues as we approach the deadline of the Super Deduction scheme and the HS2 investment continues.”
