When Harry Roberts started his own company
designing and manufacturing 'transportable audio receivers' in 1932, he
pioneered a culture of innovation, quality and service that has ensured the
brand's unique success right through the growth of world competition.
Skillfull marketing saw much publicised use
by high profile politicians and celebrities. Imaginative design (the art-deco
magic lamp speaker grill was an early design icon) caught the public's
imagination. Roberts became a household name and received the ultimate accolade:
the granting of three Royal Warrants.
Constant development has resulted in the
current collection of four distinct ranges that combine traditional materials
and skills with leading-edge technology. There's REVIVAL, a nostalgic range of
50's style 'swing' radios and the traditionally styled CLASSIC, both with
cabinets still made in wood by British craftsmen. There's LIFESTYLE, offering
affordable, hi-tech designs, and WORLD radio, a range of sophisticated receivers
that puts the world at your fingertips wherever you are in the world.
Roberts Radio is now part of the Glen
Dimplex group of manufacturing companies, and is committed to remaining
synonymous with quality British audio.
