The one on the left looks like News Gothic/Trade Gothic.

Time to use some initiative...

You know its a plc business card.

Go to the relevant website and find a pdf like this one.

Open it up in full Acrobat and it’ll tell in properties what the corporate/house font is.

Haven’t got full acrobat on the PC I’m working on so you’ll have to do it yourself.

News Gothic for TSB.
What I’m really curious about is the other one.

The other one is TheSans.

The crossbar on the ‘e’ looks diagonal!?

I was thinking the Sans too Stephen, but thought the “S” looked off. Also similar to http://www.foundrytypes.co.uk/ Foundry Sans. But Jan is right about the crossbar on the “e”.

could that be scala sans?

I checked the PDF posted for the one on the left and it is indeed “New Gothic BT Bold” and “News Gothic BT Light”.

For the one on the right...

The “Q” is way off which leads me to believe it’s not “TheSans”.

If I had to guess I’d bet it was Myriad Pro or Myriad Pro Semi Condensed.

The letters and numbers match and the “Q” is much better. However, still something isn’t right with the “e”... maybe they customized that one letter?

Thanks a lot!!! thanks, thanks!!!

It’s not Myriad, but you guys are right, I judged too quickly with TheSans.
