Audio group to make big noise

British audio innovator Bowers & Wilkins is to relocate its research and development centre to a new and larger facility.

The firm, also known by its initials B&W, said the new facility in the West Sussex town of Southwater will be more than twice the size of its original, at nearly 30,000 square feet. Among the firm’s products are the Zeppelin and Nautilus speakers and PX noise-cancelling headphones.
