Blue Max Banner, aka BMB, has been rebranded as Banner from today, 2 October 2017.

The rebranding for the company – which began in 1987 as Blue Max before changing its name to Blue Max Banner following the acquisition of the Banner and Beau Brummel schoolwear brands in 2010 – is the result of a “customer insights and consumer research programme designed to seek clarity on the company’s branding and brand architecture”.

Glenn Leach, who became the company’s new CEO in September, said: “As is often the case with businesses that have grown through acquisition, we have a lot of brands. Our intention is to create one distinct and recognisable brand. Banner, with its long-standing reputation in the schoolwear sector and its established brand recognition, was the clear choice. The Banner brand portfolio now comprises our renowned stock-supported Banner uniform and Banner sportswear ranges, including our latest Aptus Performance collection. Beau Brummel and Orion Teamwear represent our bespoke uniform and sportswear brands.”
