Building an Engineering Company from the Ground Up

Jun 13, 2023 • 1 min

Bunnell-Lammons Engineering (BLE) broke ground in Greenville, South Carolina in 1996. They needed a banking partner that could provide something every construction project needs — working capital and stability.

“Back in 1996, we interviewed four different banks before choosing Synovus,” says Dan Bunnell, president of BLE. “By far, Synovus was the most encouraging bank. They listened to our business plan, and they understood our needs.”

Synovus provided BLE with the working capital the business needed to get off the ground. And now, over 20 years later, Synovus is still the company’s bank of choice for all of their financial needs, including checking accounts, savings accounts, loans, and cash flow management services.

“Synovus makes everything so easy for us. It just doesn’t make sense to bank anywhere else.”

In fact, Synovus reached out to BLE and suggested refinancing their loans to get a lower rate, even before BLE asked. Being able to anticipate a company’s needs and look out for their best interests — now that’s a solid foundation for success.

If you’re looking for a banking partner to help your business reach the next level, we’d love to work with you. Please give us a call at 1-888-SYNOVUS (1-888-796-6887) or stop by a Synovus branch near you.
