Our History

Proud of our history, passionate about the future.

The Banner story goes all the way back to 1851 when Beau Brummel, our oldest wholesale brand, started supplying the finest bespoke uniforms to some of the most prestigious schools in the UK.

This heritage is part of our DNA and although our business has changed a lot in that time, our focus remains exactly the same now as it was then - to be the leader in schoolwear across products and service. The only thing that’s changed is we now prioritise doing the right thing for the planet above everything else.
