Our Company
Founded by our Director Susan Waters in the early 1990's, the start was small.
A spare room - hard work - exciting and fun (with a few tears along the way.)
Then the Big Bang!
.....well a medium sized one anyway, an order for 4,000 velvet hats needed for a beer festival within three weeks!
The order was completed after working 18 hour days and the profit was reinvested into new machines.
Today we have 30 machine heads for embroidery, cutting tables, sewing machines, and a whole host of other machines for manufacturing aprons and tea towels - and most importantly a loyal expert team, all based in our factory on the stunningly beautiful Rose Lane Farm.
We supply organisations of all sizes throughout the UK and world, some of the ones we are allowed to mention are....
Alain and Michele Roux at the Waterside Inn, Tate Galleries, Science Museum, The London Welsh Choir, Prostate Cancer, Green & Black's.
We also have lots that we are not allowed to talk about! ssshhhh
