REDGUM Happy Workers!

 

 

A few people have asked for photos of the happy workers, so here they are!!!!

 

At REDGUM, we believe in the “ Volvo” principle of being involved in how the product is made from start to finish. Whether one’s principle job is promotional texts, or customer service emails, the time spent in the office is only a part of the work day. …

 

(Lindy, "hard at work" in the office – but, really, she’s short sighted and can’t type)

 

 

It can start just as easily as in the demo room …

 

(Lindy back at work just after a visit to the dentist!)

 

preparing for a photo shoot …

(Someone (else) did not dust here!)

 

…..or in the workshop knowing how not to make a dry joint. (Vicky, Elitza and Michelle in the PCB assembly area.)

(It is legal, and not a health hazard.)

 

Back to the beginning. What makes it all tick.

The design stage is a time of great thought and pondering. Ed prefers this desk in the corner so we cannot be sure if he is asleep, even if his computer is.

(The eternal question – “Which way is up?”)

 

Fulvio is our man to turn to when desperate and developing a severe hate on computers.

(He understands when the computer crashes only for Lindy.)

 

Our National Sales Rep, Chris, in a rare quiet moment, not overflowing with energy and ideas!

(He thoughtfully always carries his own personal REDGUM background curtain with him to ensure his appearances are memorable. This time at The Hi-Fi Show, London, 1998.)

 

Our off-site main metal shop is where the finer details are put into practice by Bernie.

(Will he ever make up his mind and stop changing where the holes go?)

 

 

Jim, Bernie and Ian discuss the folding operation in the metal shop.

(Three men crowding round, looking down, one pointing – it must be something made of metal.)

 

Once the chassis is folded and welded, the powder coating is baked on the chassis in Clive’s powder shop.

(Black powder, quite legal.)

 

On site, the assembly starts with the mounting of the heavy hardware.

(No need to go to the gym after doing a batch of these.)

 

 

And so on, through the PCB production to final assembly.

 

 

Ian and his son, James prepare to load a shipment in the dispatch area of the factory.

(They look truly professional at pretending they did all the work.)

 

Where does it all end up? Some of it at….

Audio Trade shows – they have their more enjoyable moments.

(Several days a year are not spent wearing jeans at the factory.)

 

Yet another MacDonalds breakfast at the WCES in Las Vegas in the company of compatriots and fellow exhibitors, Greg and Yvonne Osborn of Osborn Loudspeakers (inner), and Tony and Barbara Moore of Ambience Hybrid Ribbon Loudspeakers (outer). REDGUM has power enough for them, and more.

(Is it “When in Vegas, do as the Vegans do”?)

 

Does girth equate to sound quality? Thank goodness REDGUM loses on that score, though Ian has tried!

Ian is always happy in the evenings at Vegas. Ah, Margaritas!!

(“Was that my first or first for the evening? Fosters will never rate here.”)

 

Another perk of international shows – the chance to meet head on with the natives. A colourful exemplar of the local Toronto species.

(Curly’s girth obviously carries some weight here.)

(After four solid days of meeting and greeting the press and public, it has made a lasting impression. Another Margarita, anyone?)
