NHS Social Care & Frontline Workers’ Day
July 5th, 2021
WE THANK YOU
JW Plant & Co Ltd are proud to be nominated as the official flag supplier for ‘NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers Day’. We have worked with Bruno for several years and look forward to being involved in this very worthwhile project.
JW Plant are a family run business, and we have been manufacturing flags in the UK for four generations. Based in Leeds, our factory continues to manufacture a wide rage, or traditional hand sewn, screen printed and digitally printed flags. We beleive in taking the best of modern innovations and blending it with tradtional skills in order to ensure we provide a quality product offering exceptional value.
At the heart of this is a passion for flags, the symbolisim their convey, their ability to unit communities, and provide a focus with which we can give thanks, celebrate and be proud. Whilst manufacturing may have changed over the years, the symbolism has not, and a flag is as valuable to day as is was as a rallying point in the past.
The new flag gives a bold focus, a clear message of support, and symbolises the hope of a brighter future.
This year there will have 3 standard flag sizes to choose from plus a standard length of bunting.
The last day for orders is 6th June. We cannot guarantee delivery in time for any orders placed after this date.
A £5.00 donation from the sale of every flag and length of bunting will be equally divided between NHS Charities Together and the National Care Association and will be sent direct to them by J.W. Plant.
The last day for ordering has now passed and we are unfortunately unable to take any new orders so that we can ensure all current orders are fulfilled in time for this important day.
We thank you for your understanding.

Care Guide
Ensure your flag is correctly attached to the flagpole, and there is unobstructed movement for the flag.
There is suffiecient clearance between each flagpole when there are multiples.
All halyards are kept taught, and are well maintained and flagpoles are secure.
In cases of bad weather checks should be made immediately, or at the earliest opportunity after the commencement of any bad weather.
We recommend a full risk assessment to be carried out prior to installing flags.
Do not fly needlessly at night.
Remove flags in high winds. Flag and flagpole strain should be monitored at force 4 to 6 with a consideration to remove the flag if it is pulling hard on the halyard or straining the flagpole. Flags should be removed from the flagpoles at force 7.
Repair flags when the stitching in the hem starts to break’
Washing Instructions
Knitted polyester flags can be wased at 30-40 degrees centigrade using a typically branded washing powder.
1 to 2 main washes may be required to remove soiling.
The flags should be dried thoroughly before being folded.
Flags should be washed form the outset. It is unlikely that dirt that has been ingrained over a prolonged period of time will be removed.
All dyes used on our flags have been pre-washed @ a minimum 50 degrees centigrade prior to supply.
Do Not Dry Clean your flags
