The High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult is the catalyst for the growth and success of advanced manufacturing in the UK. It helps manufacturing companies bridge the transition between early stage research and commercial application - the so-called Valley of Death – which typically involves big investments in facilities and expertise, without guarantee of success. Its seven Centres possess a full range of technology capabilities covering all stages of manufacturing. They offer companies – ranging from big multinationals to SMEs – open- access to full scale leading edge manufacturing equipment, world-class expertise and an environment of collaboration between companies, as well as between industry and research institutions and universities.

Fully committed to supporting manufacturers, we appreciate you are looking for something different from your bank. The complex nature of your business requires support from a bank that understands your industry, will deliver on its promises and believes in building long-term relationships.

We will work with you to find a finance package that meets your needs. We have a range of products available to help you manage your day-to-day cash flow, purchase essential equipment, invest for growth and mitigate financial risks when trading in both domestic and international markets.

Underpinning this is the global strength of the Santander Group. With 5 million business customers worldwide, we have both the expertise and the reach to enable manufacturing businesses to expand their business and grow their balance sheet.
