It's British Hi-Fi Week, meaning the spotlight is on iconic British audio brands, so who better to talk to than Bowers & Wilkins? We spoke to What Hi-Fi? alumnus turned Director of Product Marketing and Communications, Andy Kerr, about everything hi-fi, home cinema and even TV. We know it's hi-fi week, but I'd be remiss not to sneak in a hint of AV.
So before we get stuck in, let's do a crash course on Bowers & Wilkins' (or B&W as it is commonly referred to) history. Before it became the titan of hi-fi, home cinema, headphones and car audio that we know today, the company began life as a radio and electronics shop. Established by John Bowers and Roy Wilkins after the Second World War, the shop soon became the base of operations for Bowers to begin tinkering with audio equipment.
