Welcome to The Banks Group

The Banks Group develops, with care, land for a variety of uses including surface mining; property and renewable energy.

Why do we do this?
Because people in the UK need minerals to make steel, cement and bricks and because they also need low cost, green, energy from our onshore wind farms. They also need homes to live in and buildings to work in.

The Banks Group is a family owned, County Durham based, business employing over 300 people across the north of England and Scotland. It was established in 1976.

The core values of our business are to undertake all our projects in a sensitive and careful manner.  This is our corporate responsibility approach and it is at the heart of all we do.  We call this approach development with care.  This approach ensures that our developments have a positive long term effect on the environment and the local communities that host our developments. It also ensures we treat our employees and suppliers properly and well; so they can enjoy their work and do a good job.

We also have a Community Fund to support local good causes.  The Banks Community Fund was established in 1997 to provide support to community groups, voluntary organisations and environmental projects that are charitable, educational, philanthropic or benevolent in purpose and which are located within close proximity of a current or proposed Banks Group development and provide benefit to the local community.

The fund is designed to support the local communities that host Banks projects.
