A £1.5 million funding boost is helping a family-run business in West Yorkshire expand its operations.

DJL Fencing Contractors Limited, based in Featherstone, has secured the backing from NatWest to purchase a 23,000 sq ft industrial warehouse.

The new facility will support the company’s growth by expanding its storage and office space.

Darren Lumb, director of DJL Fencing Contractors Limited, said: “We are thrilled to be working with NatWest, who have supported us from the very start of this funding request.

“Sanjoy was a great help throughout the entire process.

“This is a significant step forward for our business.

“The new premises will give us the space we need to grow, enhance our operations, mitigate our carbon footprint and continue providing the high-quality service our clients expect.

“We are excited to build on our success and solidify our position as the first choice for site hoarding & fencing solutions in our sector.”

The company plans to install solar panels at the new site as part of its commitment to reducing its environmental impact.

Founded in 2008, DJL specialises in site hoarding and fencing for construction, demolition, and building firms across the UK.
