Middlesbrough contractors — Teesside chemicals, energy and hydrogen.
Middlesbrough and Teesside are one of the UK's biggest chemical, process-engineering and energy clusters, now a national hub for offshore wind, hydrogen and the Teesworks freeport. Its contractors — process engineers, energy specialists and offshore workers — need lenders that read a day rate, not three years of accounts. As a whole-of-market, FCA-authorised brokerage, we place Middlesbrough and Teesside contractors.
Why Teesside contractors need a specialist
Teesside's chemicals, energy and offshore employers create a strong day-rate contractor base, some on rotational or offshore patterns. Specialist lenders assess the current contract rather than years of accounts — the route tailored to the region's process, energy and engineering contractors.
