People who care working in a place to prosper.
We’re passionate about making a positive difference to student’s lives and minimising our impact on the planet. To do that, we work hard to attract and retain colleagues who share our values and our desire to innovate. Inclusive schoolwear starts with having an inclusive culture. Our dedicated People & Culture and leadership teams ensure everyone at Banner is recognised and valued for what they bring to the company. Whatever their role, everyone can make a difference, and everyone has a part to play.
A people-focused business.
As the largest schoolwear supplier in the UK (and still growing), we have a relentless desire to invest in all the things that matter most to our customers – the quality of our products, the calibre of our service and above all, doing the right thing for the planet.
Our size means we’re uniquely positioned to think big and offer the very best solutions to our customers on product, service, and sustainability, but we’ll never be too big to care and we proudly support independent retailers of all sizes.

Belonging
All colleagues should feel at home in the workplace, able to give the best of themselves, finding purpose in what they do and the difference they make. We believe that we work best when we support each other, embracing challenges and continually improving.
-
Enabling
Colleagues are trusted to make decisions, taking ownership of their role and responsibilities for the benefit of the business. We believe that everyone's voice should be heard, and that diversity and difference makes us stronger, widening our perspectives and improving overall performance.
-
Flourishing
Every colleague should have the opportunity to fulfill their potential, growing as individuals and in their careers, during their time with Banner. We believe the success of the company and its people are intertwined and that we should be there for each other in the moments that matter.

Our Values
We live by five key values, SMILE for short. These values support our ambition and guide us on our journey. Together, they help to make Banner the best company to work for in the industry.

Giving back
Our people drive our ‘in it together’ mentality and are always getting involved with charity fundraising and community initiatives across the business. We encourage all our colleagues to take one paid day off work a year to volunteer at a charity or organisation of their choice as part of our Gift of Time initiative. Those that are passionate about mental health can even train to become Mental Health First Aiders, providing support to colleagues who might need it.
