About Us
Established in 1993 Banana Moon Workshop Limited is a personalised clothing company with a longstanding reputation in design quality and customer service. The company was formed by directors Paul, Jackie and Nikki who have been in the industry for over 30 years.
Banana Moon has always tried to separate itself from the usual embroidery and printing companies. As you can tell by the name we are a little bit different! Banana Moon began serving the local school and nursery market. The launch of an innovative website with e-commerce facilities helped to push the company into the national and international mail order market when web marketing was very much in its infancy.
Currently in a brand new purpose built 5,000 sq.ft facility with ultra-modern in-house embroidery and printing services, the company is well equipped for further growth. Located in the commercial hub between Bradford and Leeds, just off Junction 27 of the M62 motorway, Banana Moon Workshop is right at the heart of a bustling business area, defying the current economic climate.
What We Do
Banana Moon Workshop is one of the market leaders in the personalised clothing industry. We produce fantastic looking garments from the latest technology in design and production. We serve a whole variety of customers from school leavers to university societies, large workwear and corporate wear organisations, the British Forces, schools and nurseries and dance groups.

The Process
Essentially we take your bespoke order requirements and turn them into the highest quality design work. Once we receive the go ahead on your designs, our production team turns your ideas into reality and the superb finished product is created. Our friendly staff in the office are always on hand to help you with any issues or questions you may have during the process.
Our Success
The reason we have outlasted the one-man bands and faceless corporate-style companies is because we offer something different. We have a slightly eccentric view on life and don’t take ourselves too seriously. Despite this we are extremely passionate about high standards in both the staff we work with and most importantly our finished product. Our professionalism and customer service is second to none!
We strive to make ordering personalised clothing a bit more fun and we think it’s appreciated. Every piece of feedback we receive from our happy customers highlights the quality of our work and the excellent flexible customer service we provide.
