The GUR Story
Over 45 Years of 
Sewing Passion

GUR is a proud, family-run business with a rich history spanning more than 45 years in the sewing industry. What began as a small family venture in Birmingham in the late 1970s has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted and respected names in sewing — both online and in-store. From humble beginnings repairing and supplying sewing machines in the local community, we’ve built a reputation for quality, integrity, and personal service that still defines us today.

As main agents for leading brands such as Brother, Janome, Elna, Jaguar, Novum, Horn, and Stitchmaster, we’ve developed long-standing partnerships that allow us to offer the very best sewing machines and accessories at competitive prices. Our strong industry connections and buying power mean we pass real value on to our customers — without compromising on quality or support.

What Our Customers Say

Our commitment to service and customer satisfaction is reflected in the hundreds of positive reviews we’ve received over the years

GUR were very very helpful on the phone when I was desperately searching for the guides that fit my machine. They posted it out straight away and the guide bars arrived the next morning by 10am. Wonderful help and very fast postage. Thank you

Procrastinated for years about buying an overlocker and finally took the plunge. When it arrived, it wouldn't work (operator error!), and having emailed them about it, I received a very quick and thorough email from them running through all the possible issues step by step and giving me plenty of confidence to know, that if none of these suggestions resolved the issue, they would be there waiting and ready to help further. After following their suggestions, the machine works perfectly – that extra 1mm of push on the socket did it's magic! Now anything that doesn't move gets overlocked! Extremely happy with my overlocker and the level of service/support offered from the outset. Thanks

They were really helpful with getting me the best deal. Had a minor setback with delivery, were in up to date constantly and arrived quicker than expected. A really great company to buy from, always great quality.
