Cliff Cooper, chairman and founder of Orange Amplification has been awarded World Finance Magazine’s coveted Entrepreneur of the Year in Electronics for Western Europe.
The magazine, published by World News Media, started the awards in 2007 to recognise individuals whose creative outlook, strong leadership and ability to drive through both successes and failures has led to business growth.
The British company has, in the last few years, developed the patented VT1000 Valve Tester, guitar amp technology DIVO (Dynamic Intelligent Valve Optimisation), the OPC, Orange Personal Computer and the Crush Pro amp series. There is also the Orange Musicboard, which changes how music theory is taught in schools and the firm has also recently been granted a patent on its new innovative Twister cable.
Talking about the award, Cooper said: “I feel deeply privileged; it represents the result of our enthusiastic world team. Innovation has always been the driving force behind the company resulting in our global success.”
