Recognise Bank, in partnership with Archway Capital Partners, has completed a £1.795 million bridging loan for a long-established Lincolnshire-based development and construction business.

The funding was secured across multiple industrial and landbank sites in the region. The facility is designed to give the client time to complete asset sales while supporting the group’s broader strategic development plans.

The borrower, part of a family-owned group with a long-standing presence in the sector, recently finalised construction on two industrial sites in Lincolnshire. In addition, the group holds two landbank sites with planning consent already in place. The short-term loan was structured by lending managers Ian Fields and Heather Mitchell to provide flexibility while the business focuses on maximising sales values and planning future growth.

With a portfolio spanning commercial, industrial, residential, and educational developments across the East Midlands, the client is part of a growing cohort of regional developers supported by Recognise Bank. The deal reflects the bank’s continuing focus on bespoke lending solutions for UK SMEs and experienced property developers.

“It has been a great pleasure to work with Ian, Heather and Stephen to complete this deal and support our client,” said Sam Monk, director at Archway Capital Partners. “The Recognise Bank team crafted a bespoke solution, provided timely responses, and maintained great communication throughout. We look forward to working with the team again in the future.”

Ian Fields, senior lending manager at Recognise Bank, commented, “We are delighted to have worked with Sam and the Archway Capital team to facilitate the next phase of growth for another successful UK SME. Providing bespoke financial solutions is at the very core of what we do and this deal is a great example of what can be achieved when lender, broker and borrower work together.”
