On 20 February 2026, the Wain Group, which is based in Birchwood, Warrington, Cheshire, announced it has secured £140 million in funding to speed up its building and growth plans. The money comes from a deal with Lloyds and NatWest and is expected to create more construction jobs and housing for residents in the area.
The company is one of the largest private housebuilders in the country and currently builds around 1,400 new homes every year. It operates through two main parts of the business, Wain Homes and Wain Estates, which focus on residential building and turning land into new communities.
This funding will be used to build high-quality houses and focus on projects that regenerate land and support sustainable development. According to the Warrington Chamber of Commerce, the investment is a significant sign for the local economy and could mean more work for suppliers and contractors based in the region.
In this deal, Lloyds acted as the facility and security agent for the funding package, while NatWest joined as a new banking partner to serve as the hedging bank. Andy Campbell, who is the finance director for the group, worked to secure the money to help the company grow to its next level.
By securing this support, the company aims to turn difficult sites into usable land for the community. The executive chairman, Will Ainscough, leads the business from its headquarters at Fontwell House in Trident Business Park where it moved in recent years to centralise its work in the North West.
