Newcastle contractors — tech, digital and energy in the North East.
Newcastle and the North East pair a fast-growing tech and digital sector — around Newcastle Helix and the quayside — with strong energy, offshore and engineering links down to the Tees. Its contractors need lenders that read a day rate, not three years of accounts. As a whole-of-market, FCA-authorised brokerage, we place Newcastle and North East contractors, first-time buyers included.
Why Newcastle contractors need a specialist
The North East's tech, digital and energy employers create a broad day-rate contractor base. Specialist lenders assess the current contract rather than years of accounts — the route that suits the region's IT, engineering and offshore contractors.
