Our sister company Flagmakers was visited last week by Euro MP Sharon Bowles, representative of Buckinghamshire in the European Parliament. Sharon was given a tour of the site by Chris Deegan, Managing Director of Flagmakers.
Employing 25 people and specialising in high-quality flags, their work has gained prestige and a very high reputation. One of their latest jobs had been to create a large Union flag for Barack Obama’s state visit to the UK, which measured 30ft x 20ft and was hung in the hanger of the USS Richard Nixon.
Sharon Bowles MEP said:
“Speaking to the artisans at Flagmakers, it was fascinating to discover that the Union Flag, commonly referred to as ‘the Union Jack’, requires 31 separate parts to be sewn together and is considered the most difficult flag to make.
“Interestingly, in addition to making flags for Oxfam and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Flagmakers also makes flags for the Order of the Garter, which hang in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, and flags for the Order of the Bath, which hang in Westminster Abbey.”
You can read the full news article on the Flagmakers website, along with Sharon’s full interview.

Banner Box was pleased to support the annual Chesterfield In Bloom competition. Once again the winners of the competition were welcomed to Banner Box to watch their creations being printed ready to be shown for the annual event taking place later this year.
Over the past few months’ children from across the Borough have been busy brushing up on their artistic skills to enter the annual Chesterfield in Bloom children’s painting competition. Judges have now gone through the 736 entries from 8 schools and have selected the winning entries. The six winning paintings will soon be displayed on banners around Chesterfield’s town centre to help promote the annual Chesterfield in Bloom competition.
Richard Stephen, Head of Leisure at Chesterfield Borough Council, organisers of the competition, said;
“We tied in this year’s theme of the competition with the 60th anniversary of the Pomegranate Theatre and for the younger children the theme was fruits. As always the quality of entries was exceptional and it was a tough decision to get the final six but we’re really pleased with the final results.”

Banner Box’s innovative Posi-Trac system found an ideal use at the Royal College of Pathology recently. The premises on the prestigious Carlton House Terrace in central London have undergone extensive re-development and a striking modern internal design had been specified by the architects for this substantial Georgian Property.
We were contacted by our client N3 Display Graphics to solve a problem that had challenged them. How do you install an 8m x 7m Graphic to a stair well split over 4 levels with virtually no way to get to the wall it was fitted to because of the height and restricted space. The Graphic depicted a stylised enlargement of a capillary to reflect the work of the college.

A Decotex Polyester Suit? It's Madness!
Banner Box was set a rather unusual challenge this summer by local man, Alvey Howghton. Mr Howghton was due to get married at the end of the summer and was looking for help in printing a suitable fabric material for his wedding suit.
Mr Howghton & his bride-to-be are both huge fans of the group Madness, and were given the idea by the video to the Madness song, (Waiting for the)Ghost Train. In the video, the band don white suits, covered with black newsprint. This inspired Mr Howghton to have a similar suit for his fast-approaching wedding day.
Banner Box helped draw up the newsprint graphic, which was then printed onto our Decotex polyester material, which a local tailor was then able to manufacture into a made-to-measure finished suit.
The job was finished in time for the big day, and created quite a striking effect. Banner Box would like to offer our congratulations to Mr & Mrs Howghton.

Fitting Mast To Maid of the Loch
Banner Box was contacted late last year by the committee responsible for the restoration of the Maid of the Loch. They were looking for an effective way to replace the original wooden masts that had decayed and had been taken off for safety reasons. A.J. Inglis of Pointhouse, Glasgow, built P. S. ‘Maid of the Loch’, in 1953, and is now the sole surviving Loch Lomond paddle steamer and also the last traditional paddle steamer to have been built in the UK.
