Partnership unveiled at The Game Fair, July 2025
Manor & Co, the renowned British gun and rifle makers, have been appointed the exclusive UK importer and distributor of AYA shotguns, following a newly announced partnership between the two companies.
The agreement, revealed at The Game Fair at the end of July, marks a significant milestone in the UK gun trade, bringing together one of Spain’s most celebrated makers of fine sporting shotguns with a respected British distributor known for its expertise and service.
AYA (Aguirre y Aranzabal), established in 1915 in Eibar, Spain, is globally recognised for its craftsmanship, producing some of the finest sidelock and boxlock shotguns in the world. Their reputation for traditional gunmaking, combined with a focus on quality and reliability, has made AYA a favourite among sportsmen and women for generations.
Under the new partnership, Manor & Co will handle the exclusive importation, sales, and aftercare of AYA guns in the UK market.
“This is a hugely exciting development for both Manor & Co and AYA,” said Gerry Coulter, who runs Manor & Co. “AYA’s legacy of excellence is unmatched, and we are proud to be entrusted with representing their brand in the UK. We look forward to making their exceptional range of guns more accessible to British shooters and ensuring the highest standards of service and support.
Looking ahead, Manor & Co and AYA will be exhibiting at the National Shooting Show at Stoneleigh. We are keen to present our own engineered guns and rifles, alongside those of AYA”.
Jude Coverdale, Sales Manager at the National Shooting Show, added:
“The National Shooting Show is unique in being fully dedicated to shooting sports, with a concentrated consumer audience and specialist exhibitors. With brands like AYA and Manor & Co joining us, we are confident the 2026 show will be one of our strongest yet.”
