About us

  
 
Award winning craftmanship

With a diverse background in specialist design and manufacturing, Guy Morse-Brown established this internationally renowned business in 1995. The extent of his success and reputation was recognised in 2008 when Guy was awarded an MBE for services to millinery and skills training. Also during that year a new purpose built workshop was set up by his son Owen, who now directs the business. Owen brings his skills learnt from his father and from his 15 years experience as a musical instrument maker.

Guy Morse-Brown Hat Blocks Ltd is recognised for its fast and flexible service for both the standard range of blocks and blocks to client's own designs. The blocks have met with a delighted response from milliners worldwide, and some of the millinery world's most prestigious designers are regular clients.

Guy's MBE also recognised his contribution to skills training and it was the Wombourne School of Millinery that was the platform for this. Hundreds of students passed through its doors enrolled on anything from a one-day tiara course to a one-to-one week long course in advanced millinery techniques. Indeed, many of the students have now gone on to set up their own businesses, helped along by Guy & Ann, and are now producing fantastic hats for their clients.

Although the Wombourne School of Millinery closed in 2007, over its 7-year life much time was spent documenting classes and utilising the wide experience and expertise of the tutors to produce an extensive range of ebooks. These are available on our sister site - How2Hats.com
