ONIX AUDIO is in me .. My fantastic life's journey is why OA21 make the best amps

I started work at 15 stocking shelves in a food store at weekends, I finished my electronics qualifications and apprenticeship at 20 . I moved to a service company as an engineer on a starting pay scale. Within 2 years I had risen to a UK mobile Troubleshooter & was the highest paid person in the company of over 4000 People, only the directors were paid more . The next challenge called me at only 21. I had risen to the top in just 2 years as I never stand still . Time to grow ...and I knew how and I had the passion to do it . I quit my huge salaried job and went for it .

I built ONIX AUDIO to what it became after I had acquired 100% control of the company in 1985 , within a year of its  formation I had become the sole owner , and within 5 years I had built and owned  a £ 3 million a year company.  I had become a £ millionaire at just 27 years old , this was exceptional in anyone's eyes,  but in the era it was done , it was unheard of at  such a young age . I later learned what it actually meant to my life and its not all good .

I sold ONIX AUDIO for a considerable sum when I felt the time was right , I was just 29 . Not long afterwards the sale contract was broken,  by the buyer.  Consequently I entered a legal battle to recover my loss.  I won this battle 12 years later, after tenacity and fight beyond anyone's expectation. This legal fight being my first real lesson in business, teaching me so much about money and how people will lie and cheat to get it. This was a life changing lesson for me , a lesson I feel obliged to pass on to anyone that might be interested .  I welcome the questions and they are worth hearing but only if you want to learn from them .

After the sale of ONIX AUDIO and while I was legally trying to recover my losses from the broken sale contract ,  I was caught for speeding while driving my Porsche - ( Yep my fault 100% ) - I was banned from driving for 6 months . I decided I needed to use this free time for progress ,  so I studied to become an "Microsoft Certified Professional" at an official Microsoft training center in London. I saw the future of computer opportunities so I qualified and moved forward with a new project. My computer company was formed .

The new company started making computers and installing networks. I quickly gained contracts with Sega games and British Airways to name just two. My company grew to a size I didn't anticipate or expect . I sold that company 4 years later for a large amount of money at 35, I left the UK and resided outside the UK/EU so as to keep the sale proceeds . This is when I discovered Asia and my alternate home was born . After I fell in love with the culture the place and the sun I left the UK and made Asia my home . I now split my time between the UK and my home Asia, with the UK being a place to visit but no longer live .

After winning the legal fight from the sale of ONIX and regaining the trade mark ONIX  , I used my brand ONIX  once again in 2010 to resurrect the original standards with new designs, we design & make our own products, so it was huge challenge all these years later , but  I did it and here we are today 14 years on . We make our own amps and they are the best you can buy ... most people just don't realize how good they are. We are small and I am still hands on, exclusivity works for us . There is not a better product than one made with pride/passion and knowledge by those that make it and design it . You are a person,  not a number to me.  I have sound at my core and you will too once you hear what we make .
​
I am a really unusual engineer in that I run my business with the needed knowledge and integrity to make it work, I am a communicator, business person, and an engineer - I love to be busy and work by choice . I live for personal freedom & achievement and despise corruption and zero-thinking people in today's world. I love everything well designed and engineered, and I dislike anything that is badly made or badly designed. I know China lies about spec of most of what they make , and it annoys me that buyers can't see it and most often dont look  .  Even so Life is good and  I am still enjoying it, I would not change a day so far -  how many people can say that ?
