In the community

Banner recognises that our business is part of a wider community, which we have a responsibility to support. We seek opportunities to help local businesses and charitable organisations and encourage our staff to do likewise.

Many of our employees give their personal time, knowledge and experience to a wide range of community organisations, from children’s football clubs to acting as a governor of their local school. 

Our employees have also given their time to raise funds for a wide range of different charities during 2009. The fantastic effort of our staff to raise money for good causes has prompted us to create a Charity Committee to ensure that efforts are co-ordinated and deliver the maximum benefit.

We offer work experience placements to students and understand the importance of leaving young people with a positive impression when they engage with commerce. We ensure that they have the chance to engage in meaningful activities during their time with our organisation.  We encourage the students to express their views and opinions and have utilised some of their ideas, especially in marketing.

It is our policy to give preference to local businesses for the provision of support services such as catering, cleaning and recruitment, in order to support enterprise and employment within the areas in which we operate.
