The Cumberland Building Society has expanded its commercial offering to cater to a range of added sectors as it looks to support businesses across the North of England and Scotland.
The society’s operations will now serve the healthcare, professional services, and food and drink sectors.
With its head office in Carlisle, The Cumberland provides services including mortgages, current accounts, and business savings accounts to these new sectors.
The expansion opens its services to more business types, including care home operators, dentistry practices, veterinary practices and children’s nurseries under the healthcare category.
Accountants, solicitors, surveyors from the professional services sector, and food and drink manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers, will also be able to benefit from the services provided.
Scott McKerracher, head of commercial at The Cumberland, said: “At The Cumberland we believe in responsible banking that puts people first.
“This approach has served us well for more than 170 years and so it’s great that we can now roll this out into new sectors.
“It is a natural progression for us to expand into different sectors, enabling us to extend our Kinder Banking approach to a wider range of businesses, offering them not just the financial services they need, but also a human touch which will help guide them moving forward.
“We’re incredibly excited to extend our offering to the healthcare, professional services, and food and drink sectors and we look forward to working with organisations within them.”
