You can guarantee though, whichever business I start next - there'll be B&O in it somewhere... even if it's speakers in the restaurant or a TV in the reception area. :)

Is that a hint that a hotel is next on the agenda?! 😁

I think he would make a superb hotelier or restaurant owner but the hours are awful and competition high. Also Eastbourne does attract a certain type of clientele. I think PR is the best - spend someone else's money for them!! If I were B&O, I would snap him up in a trice.

All the best for you, LEE!

It's better to make a painful break than draw out the agony.

It is not easy to give up something you enjoyed in the past.
But I am sure you will find a business that brings back joy.

So In a few months time you will look back at today and be thankful for the new opportunity given!

And those expensive phones are , in effect leased, as TVs used to be!

Headphones are bought outright.

thank you Lee for still staying with us at BeoWorld and helping us with your great knowledge !!!

I do not have Facebook and all this social stuff and thus visited your account for the first time today.

So sad to hear that you had to stop with LSAV after all the good and hard work you put into your new location.

In my country there are only 2 BO dealers . After all I have red here, it would have been fantastic to have somebody like you over here.

I brought my AV9000 VCR to them for service years ago, I never got it back.

So I'm done with offical BO dealers , unfortunately we do not have someone like you here.

All my best wishes go to you, your team and families for the ways you chose to go in the future

There are very, very few businesses like Lifestyle AV anywhere. No big corp can ever have the personal passion!

I'm sorry to hear this news, Lee, but given the stories youve been telling us recently about B&O it would seem that it was a sad inevitability.

I still rate our purchase of a (proper CRT!) Beovision Avant from you quite a few years ago as one of the highest points in customer service of any purchase I have ever made, so I have no doubt that whatever you turn your hand to next, it will be a success.

Very best wishes to you for the future!

Only just found this out. What a sad thing to hear. I just want to express my sincere thanks for their great service. Still enjoying my B&O speaker & tv from this brilliant shop!

Sorry to hear this, but in today's market it seems like a wise thing to do. All the best to you, your family and the former staff at Lifestyle AV.
