About Wharfedale
The story begins in England in 1932, when Gilbert Briggs built his very first loudspeaker in the basement of his Yorkshire home. This quiet town was situated in the valley of the River 'Wharfe', an area known to this day as 'Wharfedale'. This unlikely location would give birth to a brand that would gain worldwide fame and become synonymous with quality in hi-fi reproduction.
Gilbert Arthur Briggs
Gilbert Briggs founded Wharfedale Wireless Works in Yorkshire, England, in 1932 and was a leading figure in the early development of hi-fi loudspeakers. The sleepy market town was in the valley of the river "Wharfe" - an area known to this day as "Wharfedale". Gilbert Briggs continues to be admired and respected worldwide for his pioneering work in hi-fire production and his endless pursuit of better sound quality - driven by his love of live music.
