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.
