welcome to... bite-size This year we’ll be complementing our quarterly edition of Insight magazine — packed with features and information— with this shorter format that gives you updates and the latest news from around the industry. You told us that you’d like information that’s easy to digest with quick links to topics of interest.
So in that spirit, let’s get started…
Banner KnowHow Seminar
In February we were pleased to launch our inaugural Know-How seminar with a group of retailers, discussing the DfE guidance and schoolwear tendering with our team of experts.
Since then, we’ve had an overwhelming response from retailers and a great interest in further sessions. Keep an eye out for more information about future KnowHow seminars and how to get involved!
Insight March 2022
Our Spring issue will be landing in your inboxes this March. We’ve got an exclusive industry interview, some great marketing tips from Banner and a practical guide to sustainability which cuts through all the jargon. We’ve been speaking to leading retailers too, asking what they’ve learned from these last two years and how they are planning for a positive year ahead.
A feature to look out for...
Eco Explained!
We’ll be exploring the most frequently mentioned eco terms, memberships and accreditations - explaining what they mean, what to keep an eye out for - and how to tell fact from fiction!

Supply Chain Update Our extensive planning for 2022 is on track and we’re looking forward to a year of great service, backed by earlier and more reliable supplies. A huge thank you for working with us and getting your forward orders in before the Christmas break. We’re delighted to have had a busy start to the year, starting to bring in stock earlier than ever to mitigate the ongoing impact of the pandemic. This year, we’ve taken extended shipping times into account when placing orders with our Far Eastern Factories, hopefully giving us greater leeway in the coming months. We’ll continue to keep you up-to-date with our supply chain as the season progresses. For now, thanks again all for your support, it really is appreciated.
