New store set to open in West Cumbria town this summer after 'major investment'
A CUMBRIAN business will be opening a new store in Workington. Electrical retailer Peter Tyson has set the opening date for its store as Saturday, July 5. After 11 years at its Finkle Street location, the company is relocating to a larger, purpose-renovated showroom on Winscales Avenue, on the Lillyhall estate, near Distington, marking a new chapter for the family-run business. The new site, a former Central 4 cars showroom, is 5,000 square feet and has been refurbished. In the run-up to the move Peter Tyson is holding a moving sale at the Finkle Street store, running until June 20. Managing director Paul Tyson said: 'We've made a major investment in this new site and we're incredibly proud of the result. 'This new store reflects everything people love about Peter Tyson – great prices, trusted brands, expert service, and free local delivery – but with even more space, more stock, and more to experience. "We've had a relatively small presence in the area for a number of years so we saw this as a great opportunity to expand. "We believe that people deserve a greater choice of some of the biggest brands in the UK and a better environment to see them in. The shopping experience the new store will offer is unbeatable in West Cumbria. "Peter Tyson is known for TV and audio, but we also do appliances, and the new store will stock many different ranges. "And of course we are good value. We price-match and offer finance deals and free local delivery. "We will be open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, and there's ample free parking. We look forward to welcoming customers old and new from July 5." To celebrate the opening, there will be launch offers from household brands. Peter Tyson, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026, is one of the UK's largest independent retailers online and also operates stores in Carlisle and Newcastle.

Fell Audio Makes Its British-Made Hi-Fi Available Online Through Amazon
Fell Audio, the British audio brand that makes affordable hi-fi in the U.K. has made a deal with ... More Amazon to sell its products. With President Trump's tariffs beginning to bite, there has been a lot of interest recently in the idea of bringing the manufacturing of technology back to the West. In the U.K. One audio brand has already started. Fell Audio is a disruptive British hi-fi brand that has been shaking up the market with affordable audio separates made in the UK. Now the brand is making its products available through Amazon. Carlisle-based Fell Audio has already introduced a British-built CD player and amplifier since its launch and now the products are available with the online convenience of Amazon. So far, Fell Audio is Amazon U.K.'s only British hi-fi brand on the platform. Designed to demystify hi-fi for newcomers and offer value for seasoned enthusiasts, Fell Audio manufactures its products in Britain. The Fell Disc CD player and the Fell Amp integrated amplifier are the most affordable UK-made hi-fi currently on the market. A music streamer will also be available later in the year. The Fell Amp is an integrated stereo amplifier made in the U.K. Each of Fell Audio's products is backed by an industry-leading five-year warranty. The move to work with Amazon is designed to complement Fell Audio's existing sales channels, which include a website and Peter Tyson's online store, telesales and physical retail locations based in the North of England. Music lovers can enjoy the convenience and familiarity of Amazon's user-friendly shopping platform to buy Fell Audio products. Customers can also benefit from Amazon U.K.'s fast delivery, including options for next-day or same-day delivery in certain locations. Amazon Prime members can take advantage of potential exclusive benefits such as free and expedited shipping. Amazon U.K. also offers a variety of payment methods, including credit/debit cards, Amazon Pay and gift cards, providing customers with flexibility and ease during the checkout process. Commenting on the Amazon U.K. move, Fell Audio's Product and Design Lead Luke Tyson said: 'For newcomers to high-performance audio, buying hi-fi for the first time can seem daunting, expensive or too technical. Fell Audio's products, with their intuitively labeled capacitive-touch buttons, were designed with newcomers in mind and reaching these newcomers on Amazon U.K., one of the world's largest and most trusted marketplaces, makes perfect sense.' The Fell Disc is a CD player built in the UK and now available on Amazon. Tyson added: 'The traditional approach of selling hi-fi through high-street shops is becoming increasingly difficult with many retailers moving high-end to survive. Larger operations, such as Fell Audio's parent company, Peter Tyson, have successfully invested time and resources over the last decade to bring their retail experience online, serving hi-fi communities less able to visit shops. Amazon UK represents the next step in online for Fell Audio, offering the product to millions of UK users.' Fell Audio was launched in November 2024 and is a family-owned-and-run start-up. To date, the brand has developed its Fell Disc CD player and Fell Amp integrated amplifier. The company says a music streamer will be launched in 2025. British manufacturing at entry-level prices distinguishes Fell Audio from competitors, which the company claims gives it an extraordinarily competitive edge in terms of quality. With affordability and high-quality sound, Fell Audio says its products are ideal for newcomers and established audiophiles with an eye for a bargain. The Fell Disc player costs £499 and the Fell Integrated Amp sells for £599. The products are only available in the UK now but will be rolled out to the E.U. and beyond in 2025. Now the products are available from the Fell Audio website, Peter Tyson online, in-store and via telesales as well as Amazon U.K. Fell Audio builds it products in the U.K. and manages to keep its prices affordable. Could this be ... More the start of the tech onshoring trend?
