Paragon Bank provided Hampshire-based A R Banks with a £290,00 funding package to acquire a Scania 500 8x2, equipped with a rear mount lorry loader. A R Banks is a family-owned and operated business, founded in 2011 by Stuart Banks.
The firm specialises in a plethora of services, from engineering, marine, rail, aviation and construction industries throughout the UK and Europe.
With the arrival of the Scania 500, A R Banks is providing greater flexibility and expanded services to its clients.
Paragon enjoys a long-standing relationship with the firm, working with them for over six years with funding arrangments totaling to £620,000.
Stuart Banks, founder of A R Banks, said: “Thanks to the funding support provided by Paragon and the arrival of a new Scania 500, equipped with a rear mounted lorry loader, to our fleet, we can now not only provide our customers with greater flexibility, but also increase the volume of business we are able to undertake.”
He added: “Working with Paragon for many years, we continue to be impressed over their commitment to understanding our business, our requirements, and supporting our growth as we expand the range of our services. We look forward to continue working with Paragon in the years ahead.”
