We're delighted to be supporting Jambleton once again this year and helping Hambleton Parish Council bring another fantastic community event to the village.

Taking place on Saturday 13 June, Jambleton has become a real highlight of the local calendar, bringing together residents, families and local businesses for a day of fun, entertainment and community spirit.

We hope everyone attending has a wonderful day and that the weather is kind for what promises to be another great community celebration.

What a fantastic way to celebrate 50 years of Banks Group. 🌿

A huge thank you to everyone at Horticap for hosting such a memorable evening. The beautiful setting, wonderful hospitality and hard work of the staff, students and volunteers made it a truly special occasion.

We're also incredibly grateful to the Horticap team and students who visited our Durham office today in their Banks Homes-branded van to present us with a stunning display of '50' flowers, grown and created by the students themselves. The display now sits proudly outside our office and will serve as a lasting reminder of a wonderful celebration and the incredible work Horticap does within the community.

Thank you for helping us mark this milestone in such a meaningful way. 💚

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.

Becky Styles & Jamilah Hassan, two of our BHAW representatives were happy to attend the Better Health at Work Award County Durham celebration to collect our Maintaining Excellence Award and were incredibly surprised and honoured to also receive the Special Recognition Award on the day 🥳🏆

This award recognises our continued commitment to workplace wellbeing and physical activity, and the creativity and enthusiasm our teams bring to it every year.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff for always embracing our sometimes slightly “out of the box” ideas 💡 Your energy and support are what make initiatives like this such a success

Thank you as well to Karen for such a thoughtful nomination and for your continued encouragement!! It means more then you know! We genuinely weren’t expecting this recognition, and it has inspired us to go even bigger and better for our teams this year.

And finally, thank you to EMG Solicitors for sponsoring the award.

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.
