Leicester contractors — logistics, manufacturing and finance.
Leicester sits at the heart of the UK's logistics and distribution network — the "golden triangle" — with a strong manufacturing base, financial-services employers and a growing digital and space-technology scene. Its contractors need lenders that read a day rate, not three years of accounts. As a whole-of-market, FCA-authorised brokerage, we place Leicester and East Midlands contractors.
Why Leicester contractors need a specialist
Leicester's logistics, manufacturing and finance employers create a broad day-rate contractor base. Specialist lenders assess the current contract rather than years of accounts — the route that suits the city's operations, engineering and IT contractors.
Sectors we see most in Leicester
