The Guild of Master Craftsmen

The ancient origins of many of the Guilds have been lost through the mists of time. Many trades as far back as the 11th century found that belonging to a Guild was beneficial to their trade. Being a member of a guild showed that you worked within the boundaries and rules of the time and this gained you respect and trust.

It was quite common to have a Guild Hall in many towns around the United Kingdom where trade would take place on market days. Guild's became huge, commanding royal approval but in recent years the ancient skills have been harder to protect and encourage.

In the last thousand years the world has changed beyond all recognition but true craftsmanship, integrity and quality is still highly valued. 

The principles of the Guild of Master Craftsmen are simple but effective. 

To serve the public with integrity and honour.

The Guild of Master Craftsmen offer small and large businesses useful support with legal problems and more common business difficulties. The Guild represents many trades and skills from one man bands like mine to large factories.

The Guild of Master Craftsmen continually seek to support quality UK business and to encourage more young people to enter the skilled trades, apprentices and crafts that are still available.

The Guild of Master Craftsmen produce a glossy quarterly magazine dedicated to the skilled members of the Guild showing other members the skills that are protected and encouraged.

Once you have passed the criteria for a Master-craftsman, Guild members are given the opportunity to improve their sales, develop skills and exchange ideas.

After a lifetime in the sewing trade Alex Askaroff was welcomed into the Guild of Master Craftsmen on the 12th of September 1991and has pledged to uphold the true and abiding skills of the guild.
