The ancient origins 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 business. It was quite common to have a Guild Hall in many towns around the United Kingdom where trade would take place on market days.

In the last thousand years the world has changed beyond all recognition by true craftsmanship and integrity 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 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 to large factories.

They produce a glossy quarterly magazine dedicated to the skilled members of the Guild.

By joining the Guild members are given the opportunity to improve their sales, develop skills and exchange ideas.

Alex Askaroff of Sussex Sewing Machines has been a Guild member for many years and recommends its benefits to other skilled craftsmen.
