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.

Merry Christmas to Me…

Just bought myself an early Christmas present, the Laura Ashley Rosemore Kettle, absolutely beautiful, very quiet, I had to keep checking if it was still on, so, so pretty, very happy with my new kettle and I love the one cup boil, another bit of savings I can add too my list

Very happy with my purchase,

I purchased this Dexter Portable Radio from Woolacotts of Barnstaple, where I received first class service, in obtaining the product from one of their other branches. The build quality of the radio is very good, and the reception and sound quality has turned out to be better than I had expected. Thank you to all.

10 out of 5 stars!!!

If I could it would be 10 out of 5! I accidentally broke my ceramic bowl from my slow cooker. I contacted VQ to see if they could help me with a replacement. Oh goodness did they help!! Yes was the reply, and less than a week later, a very well wrapped box arrived safely with the replacement bowl inside. The whole transaction took moments and less than a week from my initial email to receipt of the item. I am over the moon at how it was all dealt with by VQ. Victoria was a complete star and every time I have ever written to ask about a product in the Laura Ashley range, I always receive a reply with an answer. Just cannot fault the company or the service. You cannot go wrong with MyVQ. a superb UK company!!

The customer service is indeed excellent, although the radio didn't work

I ordered a radio from VQ as it was so highly recommended by Which? Unfortunately there was a fault in the radio, as it wouldn't allow me to use the pre-set facility. But the customer service, from Victoria, was excellent. She was very helpful in offering advice in case it was me being fat-fingered, then had no hesitation in accepting a return and providing a refund. That makes such a welcome change nowadays.

Thank you for your amazing service

Victoria, VQ, thank you for your amazing service. Unable to source a battery in Jersey for my radio, I approached VQ. Victoria went out of her way to help me and within no time at all I was in receipt of my battery. I can’t recommend VQ highly enough.

FIVE STAR SERVICE

I emailed VQ as I required a replacement aerial for my Monty Radio.
I sent the email at 17.29 last night and I received a reply at 09.42 from Victoria.
They are sending me a new aerial free of charge.
Deserves more than a five star review.
Thank you once again, Victoria.
