Wilson Benesch - The Future Is Carbon

Wilson Benesch, sheffield based speaker and turntable manufacturer.

The company is owned and directed by two directors:
Craig Milnes directs product development and design
Christina Milnes directs all aspects of sales, production and financial planning.

The Wilson Benesch bank account was opened in 1989. The account opened with £10,000 and a £15,000 overdraft. This would be consumed in the first year in a Research and development project part funded by the Department of Trade and Industry who contributed £25,000. The outcome? the world's first carbon fibre sub chassis turntable. This design incorporated numerous innovative design features and although it went out of production in 1995 due to the Papst motor being made obsolete it is still a sought after design holding its price on the second hand market.
