A family-owned and run business, TEG was established in 1987 by Ian Tomlin. It is now run by his talented 27-year-old son Joe who assumed the role of managing director in July this year. The Kent-based brand supplies Britain’s top London gunmakers such as John Rigby & Co., Holland & Holland, Purdey, Boss and McKay Brown.

A second generation casemaker, highly accomplished Ian originally learnt his trade from his late father Harry and went on to serve a two-year apprenticeship under Brian Laurence at Bryant Guncases in the ’70s. Just two years after forming TEG, the business became the go-to brand for leather goods for all the London gunmakers.
