Lee Marley Brickwork receives eight-figure funding package from HSBC UK

Reading-based brickwork and scaffolding business Lee Marley Brickwork has received an eight-figure funding package from HSBC UK.

It will strengthen the firm's funds for day-to-day operations but also enable it to take on additional projects.

HSBC said it will also be used to support staff at the company's apprentice training academy at South Bank Technical College. The programme currently has over 100 apprentices.

Lee Marley Brickwork aims to have between 30% and 40% of its permanent staff to be graduates of the programme. HSBC UK has provided financial training sessions to this year’s cohort of apprentices and plans to continue offering these sessions to future groups.

Lee Marley, director at Lee Marley Brickwork, said: "We’re incredibly grateful for HSBC UK’s unwavering support. The increase in operational funds has been crucial for navigating the changing construction landscape and continuing our growth."

Liam Gover, corporate relationship director at HSBC UK, added: "We are proud to support Lee Marley Brickwork, a company that has grown into an industry leader. Its commitment to investing in its staff, particularly through the expansion of the apprentice programme, has been a key driver of the business’ success."

Established in 1997, Lee Marley Brickwork is the UK's largest integrated masonry and scaffold company and operates from offices in London, Reading, and Glasgow.
