We're proud to be supporting this year's Durham Regatta as an official sponsor as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations.

As one of County Durham's most iconic sporting events, Durham Regatta brings together thousands of competitors, volunteers and spectators on the banks of the River Wear each year. Our sponsorship will help support the event, including its Volunteer Hub, while also helping organisers keep entry fees and enclosure ticket prices at the same level as last year.

Supporting local communities has been at the heart of what we do since 1976, and we're delighted to be backing an event that has such a long and important place in County Durham's history.

Good luck to everyone taking part, and we hope to see plenty of people enjoying a fantastic weekend on the Wear. 🚣

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

Whether we’re on a quarry, a building site or in the office, the message at Banks is always the same:
Look after yourself. Look out for each other.

We’re proud to have seven trained Mental Health First Aiders across our sites; Debbie Anderson, Lauren Tomlinson, Christian Adkins, Joanne Bethell, Deborah Hurton, Jacki Reynolds & Jade Johnston who are available to offer confidential support and guidance whenever it’s needed.

Sometimes a simple:�“How are you mate?”�or�“Here if you want to talk”�can make all the difference.

Let’s keep checking in, supporting each other and creating a culture where nobody feels they have to struggle alone.

A brilliant evening at the Insider North East Property Awards 2026 last night at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead ✨

Some of the team from Banks Group and Banks Homes attended the final, where we were proud to be shortlisted for Housebuilder of the Year, alongside Deal of the Year for the Kingston Village site with YoungsRPS.

While we didn’t take home the trophy this time, receiving a Highly Commended mention in the Housebuilder of the Year category was a real moment for the team and recognition that the judges see something special in what we’re building. 🏡

Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists from the evening. Here’s to next year… 👀🥂

Sunshine, blue skies, and a very welcome 20°C today. A perfect excuse for a little afternoon treat.

Our office teams took a well-earned break to enjoy some ice cream courtesy of our amazing HR team, while those opting for a lighter refreshment tucked into fresh fruit instead. A small way to stay cool and make the most of a beautiful spring day.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend, especially those enjoying a well-earned three days of rest and relaxation.
