Where it all started

Chris left school at the age of 16, without any qualifications to his name. He was able to work with a UK audio manufacture called Bowers & Wilkins as their temporary employee and managed to secure himself an amazing opportunity that would change his life forever.

The story of Chris’s first job is one that will remain etched in his memory for the rest of his life. It was all thanks to his Grandma who worked at B&W as their tea lady, and through her friendship with one of the management team members, she managed to secure him this initial start on August 16th 1986.B&W had a huge backlog on the order book they were trying to clear, so Chris was offered a 3-month contract. They only promised him one season but when he proved himself by accomplishing more than what was expected in that time frame, B&W renewed their offer for an indefinite amount of seasons. One way to get ahead in a company is to start at the bottom and work your way up.

In fact, Chris started on the production line as an operative. Chris was proud of his first purchase. He’d been working for a week, and he finally had enough money to buy a CD player, it was 1986 and CD’s had just been released.

Audiophile At 11

Chris always loved music and he was listening to it since a very young age. When Chris turned 11, he got his first pair of high-quality Bowers & Wilkins speakers that allowed him to enjoy all types of sounds in great quality.

He lived in Worthing all of his life, Worthing is a beautiful place in the UK that’s home to Bowers & Wilkins. Chris’s grandmother lived just minutes from the B&W factory, Chris spent a lot of time at his grandmother’s house.

Chris learned the basics of electronics from his grandfather, a retired telecoms engineer. He built his first speakers at age 11 using only parts that he found in Bowers & Wilkins trash.

Engineering

The family lived in a three-story house. Chris’s father, Kevin, earned his living as a dairy manager. If the office alarm was tripped, it was his duty to respond. He had a responsibility to check what happened and ensure that everything was okay.Because of this, we had a company-provided landline in our house, in the 1970s this was rare to have a landline.

There was a problem, the phone was on the ground floor and we slept on the upper floor.Sometimes the phone would ring because the burglar alarm has been activated, but nobody heard it because it was downstairs.Chris’s grandfather had been a telecom engineer. He learned the ins and outs of how to install the phone from his grandfather, so Chris knew how to solve the problem.

Chris climbed out of a window to run the cables up the building, Within an hour we had a functioning telephone on the upper floor. Just imagine a young man aged 9 years old, installing an additional phone on the top floor of his house. Chris’s grandfather was a great engineer. He taught Chris everything he knows about engineering and even inspired him to pursue a career in the industry. By taking things apart you get a better understanding of how they work, Chris still takes things apart to this day.
