Laurence Dickie

International eXcellence interviews Laurence Dickie, founder of Vivid Audio.
Where did you grow up?
Facing the countryside of Derbyshire UK on one side and the coal fields and slag heaps on the other. The Derwent valley, where I went to school, is the birthplace of industry and that had a powerful effect on my childhood.
 
How did you start in the industry?
I’d been building speakers and sound systems since school days but it really got serious when I was appointed by B&W to design active loudspeakers.
