Bang & Olufsen of Liverpool closing

27 replies

Very sad. I bought two pairs of A8 earphones from them. I think way back in 2007, Nick told me that my BV6 was a 22" not a 23" as i'd originally thought when looked at a red BC6.

I had an apartment for many years on Albert Dock at had a great time at first but by 2004-5, I witnessed a great surge of professionals leaving the city. I still think the the city was at its strongest around 99-2000. I worked for a radio station there and I certainly felt the recession hit hard around 2007-8. I've not returned to the city since and never will as that recession made it go from a dream city to absolute hell on earth. It's not something that I like to talk about.

An apartment on Albert Dock? You must have been in a good job Paul!

Strangely enough Liverpool completely bucked the recession so you obviously had an unusual experience.

Liverpool One. This is where B&O need a shop!

There's even a shop to cater for you Paul!

Hello BeoWorlders

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to the many people who have contacted me both personally and via this forum to pass on their thanks for my contributions here and best wishes for the future.

It is certainly true that when one door closes, another opens. In this case the door closing in Liverpool has prompted a massive door in Wilmslow to open. I am delighted to let you know that I will be joining Stephen and the team on Monday at the new showroom on Alderley Road in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

For the last few months the showroom has been trading from a temporary site whilst the new premises have been fitted out with the very latest store elements. It is very exciting for me personally to be able to continue my association with this fantastic brand.

I look forward to being able to continue to offer advice and guidance where I can on this forum and also welcome any of you who may be in the area to pop in for a chat and a look round.

Onward & upwards

Regards

Opman

Congratulations Nick on your new job, enjoy

That's great news Nick - not too far away, so I'll pop in when I'm ready to buy my Avant 75... or anything else B&O for that matter!

Good luck on your new start.
