Not long after opening, a local school approached Yacine and Helen with the suggestion that they might like to consider becoming the stockists of their school uniform. A new, unique, esoteric and seasonally-dysfunctional world opened up. As more schools arrived, less and less space was available for the fashion, until eventually it was all gone. The name Juniper persisted… BURTON (Helen’s maiden name) didn’t sound as pretty; besides, apparently, that name had already been taken.
More than two decades, and a vertiginous learning-curve later, Juniper has grown somewhat and has expanded into larger, more contemporary premises. Our aspiration now is to partner with more schools and to become a leader in our industry in customer service, ethical trading and environmental friendliness.
