WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.....

 

The Creek and Epos brands began their lives in England in the early eighties, literally within a few months of each other, and were first introduced into Australia in the mid eighties by Concept Audio, a company which was sold several years later to a larger conglomerate.

From the mid nineties both brands were represented by a Victorian based company, Synergy Audio Visual. In recent years that company undertook a change in direction which resulted in their attention moving away from the key market area which fits Creek and Epos.

As a consequence, in late 2005 the mutual decision was reached that the Australian distribution of these two brands would be better suited to a company whose attentions were centred on one of life’s simple pleasures – listening to and enjoying music!

It was in 1999 that Michael Creek of Creek Audio Ltd. decided to purchase the Epos brand. Since that time both Creek and Epos products have been developed under Mike’s guidance. Whilst both brands enjoy substantial success in their own right, it makes sense that, when partnered together, they bring out the best in each other. Who better then to to have an active interest in the distribution of his products in Australia than Mike himself, in partnership with someone who has been closely associated with the products since they first saw the light of day.

Jacki Pugh has spent almost all her working life involved in the distribution of audio and other related products in Australia. Initially she was a part owner of Concept Audio, the original Australian importer of Creek and Epos.  She later established Architectural Audio Design and spent ten years working in the custom audio sector of the market. In 2001 she took a break and headed for the U.K. to experience life on that side of the world. After just a few months she began working with Mike Creek.

It would seem then that what goes around comes around.
Mike and Jacki together decided the time was right for the products to be handled in Australia by a company under their joint guidance. He knows the products, she knows and understands the market – they both enjoy the simple pleasure of sitting back and listening to music the way it was meant to be heard. And so it was that in August 2005, Epoz was born.

Working with only Creek and Epos for the first 2 years, in late 2007 came the introduction of the first product designed in Australia for Epoz. Development on this product began not long after Epoz began marketing the Creek and Epos brands when it became apparent that there was a gap waiting to be filled. Two years later the result proved to have have been well worth the wait. AktiMate has captivated the attention of the market - its pedigree sets it apart from other products offering an iPod solution. Yet it is far more than just an iPod related product.

A cable line was added to the Epoz stable at the beginning of 2008. But not just any cable. Abbey Road cable, manufactured in the U.K, is endorsed not only by Abbey Road EMI, but also by some of the finest producers and sound recording engineers.
