Well said Andy - I think Lee deserves a big Well Done. And I agree about your comments about it being nice to be a founder member. King Street was, I think, the first ( only ? ) UK retail shop to publicly "come out" as a BeoWorld Forum user, when we revamped the place in April, and at the time I was a bit wary ( particularly when we opened the doors to a motley selection of Beowolrds finest northern members ), but I feel that decision is now vindicated by no lesser person than Torben himself.

That said, some of the initial trepidation B&O ( dealers & the main company ) felt towards the earlier Beoworld site, and others, was not without foundation, and it has taken a while for that feeling to pass. However, the changes Lee and his team have made are a major reason why Torben and his team now accept Beoworld for what it is, so thats another Well Done heading off to the south coast.

It's wonderful and immensely exciting to have read this and very very heart warming. A dream come true for both parties so it would seem.

I for-see the reasonably young relationship between B&O and BeoWorld, fail safe and particularly profitable, guaranteed to only get better as time goes on.

Raise your glasses, cheers!

Well done,

I am very surprised the CEO opened up so much, I was expecting some very "corporate" answers, and he has revealed quite a lot about himself and future products as well, which is very rare.

I saw that several bloggers had been invited to the Serenata launch in Berlin, there are plenty of reviews on the net, so it looks like B&O has realised the power of Internet, and wants to use it.

For a brand like B&O, having a nice official web site is one thing, but now with web 2.0 (content created by users, and use of new technology like Ajax and RSS, like Beoworld), a lot of information (true or false, good or bad) circulates very quickly on the net.

Unhappy people tend to do a lot more noise than happy people, so it is essential for a company to get us on their side, to create some good positive noise as well. And we are not going to complain!!!

Let me add my congratulations Lee -- I think you did a fantasic job for BeoWorld

You say "Well done to Everybody" but if you and others had not taken the steps you did, there would be no Beoworld.

So, thanks again Lee for all you work..

Fantastic Lee, well done. I've spent the last hour reading your posts and have enjoyed every second. You should be really proud of what the moderating team, members and yourself have created.

Lee if your smile had been any bigger you would have had to seek medical attention!

Well done you! There is me being a little absent from the forum and what do you do? Get us Star treatment at B&O. I wish I was only 10% as productive as you and the moderator team.

I am very very glad to see that your belief and hard work is being so handsomely rewarded!!

Right must go and read the report now.

Great job! I enjoyed reading both the review of the Serenata (have to say I started feeling Jealous that we won't see it in the USA) and the interview with Herr Sorensen. Glad you enjoyed your trip; sounds fantastic. Keep it up!

They may not have found the rest of Shergar, but i bought the teeth on ebay. You can see me in the 3.30 at Ascot on Saturday..

Seriously though - it really is a testament to everyone on here. What do you think BeoWorld would be without you all? Nothing - it wouldn't exist!

Again fantastic Lee - great to see the relationship growing and becoming stronger!!

B&O as an employer must be great! similar to google, people actually enjoy what they do and look forward to thier job on a daily basis which is as you say very rare and unusual these days.

Wonder what the future will bring?!

Congratulations Lee! I think you are the best man BeoWorld could ever send to this happening. I love my B&O more and more every day and I think I can claim BeoWorld for that, including the trip to Struer;) Thank you Lee and all other that supports this site.
