Description
The Bang & Olufsen story began in a small attic room in North-West Jutland, Denmark. From the beginning, technical innovation was a hallmark of the company, with products like the Eliminator (1925) and Beolit (1931), revolutionising home entertainment.

As the company grew, demand for its innovative products spread far beyond the borders of Denmark, and Bang & Olufsen was renowned throughout the world. As early as 1963, the brand was introduced into the UK, and by 1974 Bang & Olufsen had established its own UK subsidiary.

Throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties, the company continued to introduce products which were as inspired in design as they were technically innovative.

It's a success that continues today. With products like the BeoVision 6 LCD television and the BeoSound 3200 CD/Hard disk recorder, Bang & Olufsen remain at the forefront of technological innovation. And it is set to stay there well into the Millennium.

Owning a Bang & Olufsen franchise will enable you to share in the success of the ever-growing demand for high quality home entertainment products with distinctive values: intelligent and original design, technical excellence and quality of build. Also you will enjoy a level of financial reward that comes from retailing a well-established premium range - an opportunity for success that you will find difficult to match elsewhere!

Comprehensive induction training will be available for both the franchisee and their staff, and will include a trip to the Bang & Olufsen International Head Office in Struer, Denmark. The intensive five week training program is all embracing and will include both theoretical study and practical experience in a Bang & Olufsen Company outlet, covering:
  • Retail skills and merchandising
  • Management and systems
  • Marketing
  • Selling Skills
  • Product Knowledge
In addition to the induction program, further training will be provided on an ongoing basis, to foster improved sales and marketing techniques and to coincide with new product launches.
