Where service comes easy
Roy Bamber started our family business as a 14-year-old lad, back in 1946.
On one of those far off days he came across a treadle sewing machine perched atop a Salford bomb site.He scrambled up the rubble, dragged the machine down and wheeled it home on a hired hand cart.
He taught himself how to repair the machine and then later sold it to a neighbour.
After completing his National Service, he set about building a family and a sewing machine business.We still try to follow Dads old fashioned example of good and honest service.
Alan & Steve Bamber
Time goes by
75 years on and the Bamber Boys are still repairing and selling sewing machines. Brothers Alan and Steve run the business with their team of skilled, dedicated staff.
The large shop in Eccles, Salford now houses a huge range of sewing machines across the Bernina, Brother and Janome ranges plus Bernette, Juki and Babylock too.
The upstairs haby features two fabric rooms and a wide range of accessories and extras for every machine.
