About Us...
Sounds Heavenly was established in 2004 by Steve Marriott, who still manages the company on a daily basis. By 2009, Sounds Heavenly had grown to become the UK's leading independent manufacturer of cables for Bang & Olufsen audio systems, supplying high street stores, multi-national companies, installation engineers and members of the public Worldwide. You can see some of the highlights from our company history in the Timeline section below.
Steve bought his first Bang & Olufsen product (a 1977 Beocenter 3300 receiver) from a junk sale at the age of 13 and spent the next 6 months repairing it and restoring it to showroom condition. This was the start of a life-long love affair with Bang & Olufsen's design. Steve has worked in the UK Electronics industry since graduating in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1996. Whilst working for several specialist telecommunications and cabling companies during this period, Steve has worked on audio and video technology for the transport industry, public broadcasting and military applications, giving him unrivalled access to key electronics technology and industry contacts when he established Sounds Heavenly. He is married to Lynn and they have two daughters.
In 2012, Steve was honoured to be invited to visit Bang & Olufsen's current factory in Struer, Denmark, as well as "The Old Farm" in Quistrup, where Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen founded Bang & Olufsen in 1925 and also the Struer Museum, which showcases many historic Bang & Olufsen designs. Since 2009, Sounds Heavenly have been proud sponsors of the BeoWorld Forum, the World's number one independent B&O community website. We value our customers and are pleased to be able to support this excellent information resource. In 2020, Steve became part of the Bang & Olufsen Collective, acting as a Brand Ambassador to represent B&O online via social media.
Sounds Heavenly take pride in customer service and our 100% positive feedback records on both eBay and Amazon reflect this. As a Christian company, Sounds Heavenly is run on ethical lines. We always aim to provide a personal and professional service, whatever your requirements.
Wherever possible, we source our products from developed countries where workers are paid a fair wage to work in safe conditions. We are working with our suppliers to ensure that none of our products contain conflict minerals, ie. those mined in areas of Africa where warfare is causing human suffering. The majority of our cables are developed, finished and tested in the UK by our experienced team of Electronics Engineers.
Our offices are open five days a week, as we close on Saturdays and Sundays. We aim to respond to enquiries and ship orders within 48 hours of receipt and over 90% of orders are shipped on the same working day that payment is received. We will always send you a personal email to confirm the shipping details for your order and give you direct contact details for the member of our team who is handling your request.
Our products are available for sale on this site, as well as from a growing number of Bang & Olufsen stores and resellers across UK and Europe. Our cables now are in use by many high profile customers, including sports stars, prominent musicians and also members of several royal families. We encourage you to contact us if you would like to know more about what Sounds Heavenly can offer you.
