| This September marked a defining moment for Chord Electronics. We were proud to welcome members of the British audio press to The Works — our brand-new riverside building, standing proudly beside our iconic headquarters, The Pumphouse. Together, they now form the beating heart of Chord’s next era of design, creativity, and precision manufacturing. Beyond the ribbon-cutting, our guests were granted rare access to a once-secret site: Chord’s offsite materials research and development laboratory. This facility lies at the core of an ambitious new technology programme, personally driven by our founder and owner, John Franks setting the stage for what’s next in high-performance audio. Over the coming weeks, you’ll see stories appearing across the press — but the first coverage is already live. You can read the opening reports from Hi-Fi Pig and Audiograde, plus the latest from The Ear. |
