Roy George is one of the most unassuming and determinedly obsessive engineers we have ever had the pleasure to meet. He retired as Naim’s technical director back in 2018 but continued to work as a part-time consultant for another three years. The company’s first and only turntable, the Solstice, was his final project. After he helped to produce a conveyor belt of superb products over the best part of four decades, we simply couldn’t let such an illustrious career pass without the recognition it deserves.
George's connection to Naim Audio was formed in 1973, just after the company was founded. At first, he was a customer, owning an early NAC12/NAP160 pre/power combination. But after finishing his electronics degree and a stint working at Goodmans, he was offered a job as a speaker consultant by Naim’s founder, Julian Vereker. The year was 1985.
