Ashley Fox MP recently visited Somerset Sewing Machines, a long-established local business that has recently moved into new premises in Bridgwater.
Run by Clive and Sharon Perrett, the business has been serving customers since 2000, offering sewing machine sales, repairs, and training for people of all skill levels.
During the visit, Ashley Fox met with the owners to learn more about their work and the role they play in supporting both hobbyists and professionals across the area. Describing the business as “a hidden gem of Bridgwater’s economy”, Ashley Fox praised their experience and commitment to customer service.
“Clive and Sharon have built a fantastic local business over many years,” he said. “They offer a real specialist service, whether you’re buying a machine, getting one repaired, or learning how to use one properly. It’s exactly the kind of independent business that adds value to our town and supports local people.”
Somerset Sewing Machines supplies a range of domestic and industrial machines, alongside reconditioned equipment, parts, and expert advice tailored to individual needs.
Ashley Fox added: “It was great to see them settled into their new premises. I would encourage anyone looking for a sewing machine or advice to support this excellent local business.”
