Compass Business Finance has joined the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA), strengthening the company’s longheld commitment to supporting businesses in the construction and plant-hire sectors through personal relationships, genuine understanding and tailored financial support.
For more than 20 years, Compass has worked alongside SMEs across construction, plant-hire, and manufacturing, building partnerships that go far beyond transactions. The move to join the CPA reflects the company’s desire to stay closely connected to the people, challenges and ambitions that shape the industry.
As the UK’s leading trade association for the plant-hire community, the CPA brings together more than 1,900 members who share a common commitment to high standards, collaboration and continued progress. Joining the association gives Compass an even stronger platform to listen, learn and provide finance that’s shaped around the real needs of the businesses it serves.

Lauren Duke, Construction Finance Specialist at Compass, commented, “joining the CPA feels like a very natural step for us. It’s an organisation that brings together forwardthinking, hardworking businesses across the construction and plant-hire community and we’re really looking forward to being part of that. This new relationship allows us to stand even closer to the people and companies we support, and to understand their priorities firsthand.”
She added, “our aim is to be a genuine partner to CPA members as they navigate investment, growth and change. Whether that’s upgrading machinery, expanding a fleet or exploring more sustainable options.”
Compass will be engaging with CPA members through events, discussions and ongoing collaboration, with a focus on sharing knowledge and helping businesses access the financial tools they need to grow with confidence.
