Funding support from HSBC sees Solarport scale up operations with new site in Halesowen
A leading designer and manufacturer of solar mounting systems is poised for growth with a new Black Country site thanks to a multi-million-pound funding package from HSBC UK.
The funding package will support investment in new plant and equipment at Solarport's new Halesowen manufacturing facility, while also providing working capital to enable continued business growth.
The strategic investment will significantly boost production capacity, reinforcing the company’s commitment to UK-made renewable energy solutions.
The new site will focus on producing solar mounting systems, the structural frameworks that hold and position solar panels, to meet rising demand across domestic and European markets. The investment will create between 15 and 20 jobs and enable Solarport to deliver gigawatts of renewable energy infrastructure annually.
The move is expected to drive an increase in revenue of up to 50 per cent within the next two to three years, contributing to Britain’s renewable energy journey.
Dave Tattershall, founder and chairman at Solarport, said: “Moving our banking relationship to HSBC UK has been a key step in enabling our next phase of growth. Christopher Hudson and the wider HSBC team took the time to really understand our business, strategic goals, and long-term ambitions. Their support has enabled us to scale up our operations, meet growing demand and continue delivering high-quality, UK-made solar mounting systems.
"British manufacturing has a vital role to play in the clean energy transition, and we’re proud to be part of that story - investing in local talent, advanced production capabilities and the kind of industrial innovation that keeps Britain competitive on the global stage.”
Christopher Hudson, corporate banking relationship director at HSBC UK, added: “Solarport's commitment to innovation and UK manufacturing, reflects the values we actively support here at HSBC UK. Backing Solarport’s growth aligns with our broader mission to invest in companies that are building resilient supply chains, creating jobs and helping to advance the clean energy transition. We’re proud to be supporting Solarport as they scale their operations and deliver the next generation of solar infrastructure.”
