At William Turner, we have been creating high-quality, British-made schoolwear accessories for generations. As a brand rooted in tradition yet committed to innovation, we take immense pride in our reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, ethical manufacturing, and outstanding customer service.

Over the years, our product range has expanded beyond ties to include school bags, craftwear, winterwear, hair accessories, water bottles, and more. Now, as part of the Banner Group, we have even greater strength and stability, with enhanced servicing and support. Banner is a B Corp business, committed to sustainability— a core value that drives everything we do at William Turner.

British-Made Quality & Sustainability.
We are proud to manufacture in the UK, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship while supporting local production. Our Lancashire based UK factory produces not only ties but also our traditional 100% pure new wool college scarves and blazer badges. In addition to the college scarf, our range of made to order acrylic striped scarves are also made in the UK, together with our popular EcoPure biodegradable water bottles—a testament to our ongoing investment in sustainability.
Sustainability is at the core of our mission. We are actively reducing our environmental impact through our commitment to eco-conscious production and ethical sourcing. Whether it’s offering a growing range of eco-products or refining our manufacturing processes, we are continuously striving for a greener future.
Ethical & Transparent Manufacturing.
Beyond our UK production, we maintain the highest ethical standards with our overseas partners. Our dedicated partner factory in China manufactures exclusively for William Turner, and we conduct regular visits to ensure our values of quality, ethics, and integrity are upheld. As a founding member of the Schoolwear Association, we champion industry best practices and stand united in promoting high standards across schoolwear manufacturing.
