Flag & Flagpole Specialist Welcome to our world of !

British Flagmakers

Our heritage can be traced back as far as 1837, when George Tutill began producing processional Flags banners and regalia. Tutill’s flags were flown at the Pages 4-21 Great Exhibition of 1851.

In 1872, originally based in South and after winning a contract to supply the with signalling flags we soon became one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of flags, banners and pennants. It is therefore fair to claim that our knowledge and expertise can truly be said to stretch back 180 years and that Flagmakers have become one of the major suppliers in the UK. We have also been recognised by and registered with The Institute as a British Flagmaker for over 25 years.

With recent investment in upgraded facilities, we have also chosen to invest in a young and enthusiastic team to take Flagmakers forward in this fast-paced and competitive world. Although technology in flagmaking has come a long way and now ensures greater consistency, Flagpoles we are careful to retain the human touch as far as possible and strive Pages 24-31 to ensure that we still produce stunning hand-sewn and hand-painted flags, retaining the timeless skill of our craft.

Quality remains our driving ambition and is one that we consider with every item we produce or sell.
