About Us

Development with care

Established in 1976, the Banks Group is a family business with a rich history in the development sector. We operate in a range of business areas, including Banks Property, Banks Homes, Banks Mining, Banks Plant Solutions, Banks Transport and Banks Renewables. Our head office is in County Durham, and we have offices in Scotland and Yorkshire. We’re responsible for a range of developments across the north of England, Yorkshire and Scotland.

The Banks Group works closely with, values and listens to the views of communities close to our projects, our business partners and our people. This is an approach that we call development with care – an approach that ensures we work safely, responsibly and sustainably across our three business areas at all times.  We want our developments to leave a positive long-term legacy on the environment and local communities that host our developments.

We believe in placing people and the planet at the heart of what we do – looking for ways to leave a positive impact on local communities and the environment. Our people understand, practice and share this ethos. They manage a range of projects from inception through to completion and throughout operation for our onshore renewables developments , including gaining all necessary planning permissions and consents, while ensuring local communities and the environment are cared for.
