The Cumberland Building Society is looking to grow its lending to hospitality businesses by as much as 25 per cent this year.

The ‘Oscars’ of Cumbria’s tourism industry made an eagerly awaited comeback at this year’s awards, with the very best of the county’s vibrant visitor economy coming together to celebrate a host of trailblazing winners.

A team of renowned entrepreneurs, philanthropists and investors have secured the purchase of a unique and award-winning self-catering escape located in the North Devon coastal village of Lee, aided by a multi-million pound finance package from The Cumberland Building Society.

The Cumberland is delighted to announce it has joined forces with the Scottish Tourism Alliance (STA), the largest member organisation for tourism businesses in Scotland.

When the Blower family decided to relocate to the wild and rugged west coast of Scotland, they turned to The Cumberland for help to fund their business renting luxury self-catering holiday lodges.

The Cumberland has demonstrated its commitment to the county’s hospitality sector emerging from the pandemic with its support for a couple’s purchase of a Lake District bed & breakfast.

The Cumberland has helped a former social worker break into the hospitality industry by buying an iconic Scottish hotel.

The need to be more planet friendly is an increasing priority for those running businesses, and never more so than in hospitality.
