Farmers face unique pressures, from market volatility and extreme weather to the personal demands of running a farming business. Through our partnership with The Farming Community Network (FCN), Lombard and NatWest are committed to supporting the wellbeing of the farming community.
Our specialist agriculture colleagues have received FCN training to help recognise signs of stress and to confidently connect customers with the support available. With more than 40,000 farming customers across the UK, we are well placed to help raise awareness of the wellbeing services available through FCN.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a personal or business-related issue, FCN provides free and confidential support through its national helpline and network of volunteers. The helpline is available every day of the year from 7am to 11pm, supporting thousands of people across the farming community each year
We could fund almost any farm asset, new or used. From tractors, sprayers, crop balers and combine harvesters.
We’re here to help you get the equipment, machinery, and vehicles you need to run and grow your business.
Our latest report, which highlights research from the National Farmers Union, finds that the challenges the agriculture industry is facing cannot be tackled by just one organisation or sector alone. Individual farmers are part of a larger whole, and agriculture is itself part of our wider food ecosystem.
Automation and innovations are increasingly being used across farms to produce more food profitably and sustainably and in a bid to achieve NFU Net Zero target by 2040.
Lombard could help fund your investment in farming technology ranging from robotic milking machines and fruit pickers to drone and automatic feeding machines.
If you’re looking to make your business more energy efficient, reduce carbon emissions or just want to learn more, Lombard’s expertise could help you.
We could help our customers finance renewable energy solutions including biomass boilers, LED Anaerobic Digestion, wind turbines, solar panels, and ground source heat pumps.
Alongside climate considerations, sustainable and renewable solutions can also create other important benefits. Learn more about our Renewable Energy offering.
We also support agricultural dealers and manufacturers through our flexible Stocking Finance solutions, helping businesses fund stock, manage cash flow and meet seasonal demand.
