Now you would expect if you bought something second hand off eBay and you had a problem, you'd expect the manufacturer to say "not our problem"!! This was not the case with VQ. I had a minor issue rel... See more


Company details

  1. Manufacturer

Written by the company

In 2011, VQ (known then as View Quest), launched the original Retro Radio – a DAB / DAB+ Digital Radio and Apple Docking station. The original retro was designed to change the market, a multi-functional product that came in a range of colours very much with the design conscious in mind. A hit with the public and press alike, the radio even won a prestigious What HiFi Award. The classic line of success brings success is never more true than in the story of VQ as in the years since we’ve been working hard to produce increasingly incredible products that continue to win awards and your hearts. The one thing we’ve always put at the heart of our design though is choice, many have (and still do) consider us mad for offering you such a wide choice of colours and finishes. We don’t think it’s mad, in fact we’ve built everything in our business to give you that choice because we believe it’s important. You will live with our radios and speakers for a lifetime and we want them to be an expression of your own taste & style. As part of that mission to give you choice and to deliver products that get you excited to have them in your home, we’ve also been fortunate to forge relationships with designer brands that are loved by millions of people across the world. We design and manufacture products in partnership with; Emma Bridgewater, Joules, Laura Ashley & Cath Kidston and there are many more designer names to come. Ultimately as our product range grows from; radio to docking stations, Bluetooth speakers, multi-room systems to Smart Speakers we remain true to our founding principal, it has to be something that looks and sounds good enough for Jonathan to have in his home.

I cannot praise this organisation…

I cannot praise this organisation highly enough, top level customer service, even when they had no obligation to provide it. I recently bought a second hand radio from a well known auction site where the seller omitted to provide a power lead and then ignored my emails. I contacted the myvq (New Dawn Innovations Ltd) and Victoria replied to my voicemail, she has been amazing and offered to send me a cable, it arrived within two days. I was so impressed and I will buy directly from them should I need a replacement radio at any point and will also recommend them to my friends and relatives - thanks Victoria for being so helpful.

Brilliant Customer Service from VQ

With a rapidly failing battery in my Hepburn 11 radio, and unable to find my charging cable anywhere, I turned to VQ to ask where I might buy a replacement. VQ's Victoria, promptly arranged to send one urgently. Efficient and friendly service such as this is very rare today, as we all know, and so warmly welcome. Thank you Victoria, thank you VQ for going that extra mile.

I purchased a Halo portable Bluetooth speaker power bank and lantern but I needed assistance with connecting the music. Victoria gave me all the assistance and help in connecting. I cannot thank her enough and I can now relax and enjoy 5 star music.

Reply from VQ

We are really sorry to hear about the issues you’ve faced with your order. We understand your frustration with Evri losing your package.

Once we were back in the office and saw your emails, we processed your refund as requested. Please note that we only had the opportunity to reply after the weekend when we resumed work, which is why there was a delay in our response.

This review was left just six days after your order, and we’ve made every effort to assist you.

As reflected in our other reviews, we are dedicated to providing excellent customer service and always respond to our customers as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Quality items with excellent customer service

I have purchased 2 retro minis over the last 10 years and they are fantastic. I needed a spare part recently so reached out to their customer service team. The service they gave went above and beyond, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Great service from British company

I have a Monty radio, which I love (even though I have not got round to fully programming it yet). I had been waiting for the Monty battery to come into stock. I have had great and fast communication from Victoria (customer services) all the way through and she informed me when it was back in stock with a personal email. She has also helped me with small queries along the way. It is so nice dealing with this British company and receiving such good service. I would definitely recommend VQ as a company and Monty radio and battery.

Very impressed with service

Very impressed with service - item originally out of stock but company offered to notify me when back in stock. I have done this with a number of companies before but almost never get a reminder. Within a relatively short time I was notified with a link to the item - all good.

Small radio, big heart

This is simply a superb small radio. The Quick Start Guide is most helpful in taking you through the stages of setting up all its functions. This radio looks and feels bespoke. Love it!

Service above and beyond

I needed a battery for a radio i purchased for granddaughter,I rang the company but unfortunately the battery was out of stock. The young lady was lovely but did not know when they would be back in stock. I was not happy but she said she would let me know when they were in. After a few weeks I thought I would hear nothing so started searching other companies no one had one.
However I have received an email telling me that the batteries are now in stock and actually sent me a link that let me straight in I have ordered and received the battery in just a couple of days.
To my mind this is a first class company I am so pleased with the fact the lady followed it through. With so many companies letting you down and not doing what they say they will this company stands out I will certainly search them first for anything I need.

The original radio had a slight fault

The original radio had a slight fault. I contacted the manufacturer who were extremely helpful.
They emailed me a return label which I completed and sent the radio back. I sent them proof of posting and received a new radio a few days later.
The radio is great and I understand why Which magazine gave it a best buy.
All in all I’m very pleased with the radio and the service.
