 Jamie, Store Manager
Having joined us from the Edinburgh shop, Jamie's been with the company for 10 years. He's a font of knowledge for all things imaginable, from plasmas, LCDs and home theatre set-ups to multi room audio, valve amps and turntables. He's also a walking encyclopedia for many things we don't sell, such as German cuisine, monophonic keyboards and stamp aromology (he can tell where in the world a stamp is from by the smell of it's glue), but not hairdryers as you can see. Just remember - he's from Fife, not Edinburgh!
 Neil ‘A is for apple’ A, Deputy Manager
Enter the world of Neil Airey; like a rolling stone with admin skills and x-ray specs, this bounder & rover excels at eating tangerines and other things of fruitful origin. With an IQ exactly 10% higher than everybody else’s due to the sporting of his highbrow spectacles, Neil will make sure that he can answer your questions correctly before actually attempting to. Smart indeed! Where others fail, he will succeed, where others crumble, he will disintegrate completely and then reform slightly over to the left and 2 inches taller. Amazing! And he may also know something about hi-fi as he’s worked at our Glasgow store for 5 years, but then, you’d have to ask him about that yourself!
 Robb, Marketing Manager
Marketing genius, graphic design superstar and AV enthusiast. Robb loves separating the wheat from the chaff before baking the best loaf of AV information available to mankind, with (fact!) more flavours than curry! Consume in-store at your own pace, but in the event of an unexpected overload, another member of staff is always on hand to disconnect Robb’s main circuits while his malfunction protocol is re-initiated. With a Doctorate in Plasmology, he can give you all the inside tips on the discombobulating world of AV technology. He’s turned his living room into a cinema and is about to do the same to his attic. Robb loves his projector and has replaced his 28 inch CRT with an 8 feet wide cinema screen so he can be engaged, engulfed, and fully emersed whilst watching The Gadget Show. Also, with his recent enthusiasm for flashy hair products, this has resulted in Robb looking less scruffy than your usual tramp
 Colin 'Fae the Edinbru Shoap, kin!', Senior Sales Assistant
Colin has recently migrated back to the motherland of Glasgow after a long spell on the East Coast. Now he joins the West-Side Massive where he can live the dream once more. Colin’s a veteran of Richer Sounds and remembers the days when you had to pay a fortune for a basic DVD player. Gone are those halcyon days. Not short of a few inches, Colin towers over the grass and the flowers and can regularly be seen at just below chest height. If you ask him nicely, he’ll let you rest your cup of tea on his head whilst you gaze at our vast array of plasma and LCDs. Colin has a dog and likes watching the footy. He also has a part-time vocation, making furniture and is currently designing a chair small enough for him to sit on. Orders are already pouring in from the likes of Ronnie Corbett and Tom Cruise.
 Martin 'The Stockroom Mystic', Sales Consultant
Lock, stock and two smoking marrows! This chirpy chappy was born and bred in our Richer Sounds stockroom. He can tell you exactly what we’ve got and what we’ve not (but are about to get in, on the next delivery). A welcome addition to the team, this wiley coyote has endless enthusiasm for all things bagged, boxed and correctly labelled, including electronic AV equipment. His beard is an outward reflection of his deep thinking attitude and confirms to us all that he is a force for good, much like Obi Wan Kenobi. Martin has a thirst for knowledge and can sometimes be seen meditating out in the desert with only a ‘What Hi-Fi’ magazine to keep him company and shield him from the elements. Outside of the stockroom, if he’s not burrowing in your back garden, he’ll be freaking out at all night raves. “I sense a disturbance in the Force!”
 Freddy ‘The Tank’, Sales Consultant
We have a true legend working with us here in Glasgow. Freddy walked in off the street and demanded that we give him a job. Who were we to argue. This boy is the youngest European Weight Lifting Champion of all time. This means that you can find him in The Guinness book of Records for his achievement. It’s kinda cool that we’ve got a Guinness Book of Records teen prodigy working here at Richer Sounds, which also has a place in The Guinness book of Records, for selling more per square feet than any other business in the World. Not just a superstar meathead, Freddy also heads up a band called ‘Psyche Out’. Legend has it, that at one of his gigs, Freddy tried surfing the crowd. Luckily Saint John’s Ambulance Crew were on hand to treat the multiple crush victims. He’s currently studying Sound Engineering, which means that he knows a thing or two about audio stuff. Watch in awe as he lifts your 50 inch Plasma out to your van.
 Patrick, Trainee Sales Assistant
The latest arrival to our shop, Patrick entertains us all with his theoretical musings on, what super-powers would we choose if given the chance and such like. He knows his stuff about hi-fi too and is our very own soft spoken, friendly giant, not known to kick up a stink when asked to go out to the shop for cleaning products. After joining our staff, Patrick needed to find a room in Glasgow very quickly. After searching, hell for leather, to find that new accommodation, his new flatmate is said to have him chained to the kitchen sink most nights � poor lad! Fortunately her DVD collection is extensive and whilst she�s out, Patrick loves to settle in with a packet of muffins and enjoy the new TV, on it�s impressive 23 inches, which hangs invitingly from the wall above the fireplace. When he�s not shackled to a TV, Patrick loves to furiously slap his beloved instrument, the guitar he used to rock out on when he was in a band. Patrick loves learning about all of the latest equipment and is fast developing a love for anything that�s black and shiny, especially big, sexy TVs, so feel free to ask him about anything at all. Although he�s still in training, he will probably know the answer, as he�s bent over backwards to take it all in. Yes - learning the ropes has been no awkward punishment for Patrick, as waxing lyrical comes easily to him now and he has to be bound to feel satisfied. Interestingly, Patrick has a phobia of ice, therefore is much more likely to be seen outside during the Summer months � Ahhh, bless!
 Jamaica St. Car Park
Welcome to the new kid on our block! This fine car park boasts a mighty 6 Levels and is fast becoming a valuable part of our team. Easily accessible with views to die for, this structure is solid as you like and tailor made to suit your parking needs. Every level looks both slightly different and exactly the same, so just remember what floor you park on! For those of you who suffer from altitude sickness, we strongly recommend that you stick to the lower levels. Once parked inside, just make your way to the shiny lifts. Those cheeky automated ladies will even speak to you as you ride the verticals and open their doors with a satisfying ‘SWOOSH’. The descent to ground floor sees you to just 10 yards from the entrance to Richer Sounds. ‘VOILA’, you can’t get much closer than that! (p.s. Don’t forget to ask us for your parking money!)
