julian richer, 54, who still holds 100 per cent of the shares in richer sounds, the chain he founded 35 years ago, has devised a “trust” model akin to firms such as john lewis. under the scheme, which will come into effect when he dies, all staff will receive an equal share in the business, while the firm’s it director julie abrahams will assume the role of managing director .

because mr richer' s practices have been so influential in the development of suggestion schemes, the basic features are found in many firms .

• “online shoppers receive misleading information about their rights to return items, leading to widespread confusion, a consumer group has said. which? studied the websites of 46 retailers and supermarkets. it found that all but one had errors. the only retailer to pass the test was hi - fi seller richer sounds. ” – bbc news, 16. 03. 2018

when you step into a richer sounds store, you’ll be greeted by someone who not only knows all about audio and visual entertainment, but also knows how to make it work beautifully in real homes. as well as having a team that love what they do, we train, train and train constantly so we can be confident in saying we have the knowledge on audio and visual entertainment .
others have taken note. richer is in huge demand as a consultant (asda, baa and halifax are just three, much bigger firms to benefit from his wisdom) and motivational speaker .
why can' t all bosses be like julian richer? i' m not going to beat about the bush here: i think julian is great. if i had to hold up someone as a role model for other wannabe tycoons to follow, the founder of the richer sounds hi - fi chain would be that person. let me be clear: for all i know, he could be another rev paul flowers, formerly of the co - op bank, and spend his dosh on crystal meth and crack. but if there are such horrors in his cupboard, i don' t know what they are .
that' s how he is. he' s often talked of the business surviving after he' s gone, of putting a structure in place to ensure his methods continue. he calls them the richer way (he' s pulled them together in what must rank as one of the best business books in history, now in its fifth edition, called, not surprisingly, the richer way) .
for over 30 years we at richer sounds have had music in our blood and have been true advocates for hi - fi separates and the pleasure they can bring. as the uk' s favourite audio visual retailer we have introduced millions of customers to the world of real hi - fi and over the years with our expert advice, unbeatable prices and expanded premium ranges have helped many enjoy the upgrade path towards musical nirvana and the thrill that goes with it .
mr richer has a reputation for treating his staff well. the company, which has 52 stores around the country, is known for rewarding employees with perks including trips in the company jet and free use of holiday homes in europe .
he is devoted to what he calls
the biz
( another favourite term is
the buzz
– to succeed, the biz must have the buzz), and has been all his life. richer grew up in bristol, the son of parents who worked for marks & spencer (it was from their tales of m & s, which also famously treated its staff well with perks such as a good canteen and hairdresser, that he developed the notion of the richer way) .
at richer sounds, we pride ourselves on being able to offer our customers a bargain. if you' re on the hunt for top brand equipment at the lowest possible prices, look out for our in - store and online clearance products, all of which have had their prices slashed to show genuine reductions. how can we afford it? good question! the simple answer is: because we have to. our stock turns over so fast and models change so quickly in our industry that we are continuously finishing lines and making way for new products .
richer sounds recognises that slavery and human trafficking is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights and remains a hidden blight on our global society. we hold a zero - tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. we expect our colleagues, suppliers, contractors and all other stakeholders to commit to the same, including implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to prevent and detect modern slavery. we would never knowingly conduct business with suppliers or employees engaged in such practices. our colleagues are expected to report concerns and management are expected to act upon them .
it was no surprise to hear richer, 54, who still holds 100 per cent of the company he started 35 years ago, explain this week how he has formed a trust for when he dies so that the business becomes a mutual, similar to john lewis, under which every staff member receives an equal share, with the it director, julie abraham, stepping up to managing director .
married to rosie since 1982, richer has many parallel and philanthropic interests. he was the first patron of the big issue foundation, an early director of the prince of wales' s duchy originals, and he' s the founder of acts 435, a charity launched by archbishop john sentamu to help those in need, and asb help, a charity to help the victims of antisocial behaviour .
so why shop at richer? well, it' s an accredited living wage employer - none of its staff are on zero - hours contracts - and it donates 15% of its profits to a range of charities (more than 400 last year). and, of course, it' s a long - established retailer with an equally long list of kit in stock. so let' s see what' s among the offers ...
the hi - fi and tv specialist was founded by influential business guru julian richer, who has promised to hand his business to his employees through a trust model similar to that of john lewis when he dies. it has 53 stores and made an operating profit of £9m on sales of £186m last year. it donates 15% of its profits to charity while shopfloor staff enjoy john lewis - style perks such as subsidised holiday homes in the uk and european cities paris and venice .
the company, which was founded in 1978 with its first shop at london bridge, has been awarded a royal warrant of appointment to hrh the prince of wales as a supplier of consumer electronics products .

so what earns him this accolade? the way he treats his staff, the fact that in surveys 95 per cent of them say they love working for him. and then the way his approach translates into tangible results: 52 stores that produced profits of £6. 9m from sales of £144. 3m last year in an austerity - hit economy, and helped him to build a personal fortune estimated at £115m .
based in what property agents refer to as the
secondary
shopping streets – the tattier end – his shops, full of in - your - face day - glo posters, have won awards galore for their levels of service, and achieved sales unheard - of in the electronics industry. for years, his london bridge branch could claim to have the highest sales density of any shop in the world .
these include: providing free access to holiday homes in the uk and abroad (regardless of sales performance); trips aboard the company jet for those who suggest the best ideas; cash handouts for staff so they can go to the pub and brainstorm; the use of a bentley for the store which does the best each month. his reasoning is simple: a happy workforce supplies good customer service, boosts sales, decreases complaints, and eradicates theft and absenteeism .
at 14, during the energy crisis and while at school at clifton college, he bought a case of candles for £3 and sold it for £15. that was followed by second - hand hi - fi equipment – he would do up turntables and flog them. aged 17, he had three people working for him .
already, he was treating staff well – thanks to m & s and also, he says, his socialist housemaster at fee - paying clifton. later, there was a third influence: tom peters' s seminal us management work in search of excellence .
a committed christian, he' s never seriously thought of selling his business, of floating it on the stock market .
the biz
is his life' s work and he sees it as only natural that those who have contributed to his company' s success, the staff, should inherit it .
jr: i think a key factor is that we recruit colleagues who love music and movies as well as for their natural friendliness. we don’t employ people for their high - pressure sales skills; we choose team members who are friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about home entertainment. that means that our sales teams have something in common with our customers straight away, which makes it easier to build a rapport .
your brand particularly stands out within the industry for personalisation and time and effort. what do you think drives your customers to rate the business so highly for these pillars in particular ?
jr: we treat customers like we would do our friends and family, with the aim of building a long - term relationship. we ask for feedback at every step of the customer journey and we listen to what they have to say, no matter whether the comments are good or bad. i personally respond to all correspondence, and ensure that all colleagues are accountable, from store colleagues wearing name badges to directors responding to specific issues raised. because of this, we’re constantly evolving based on customers’ needs .
has the business made any investments over the last year to improve your customer experience? (eg. investments in employees / infrastructure / technology / new products) ?
jr: our colleagues spend many hundreds of hours a week learning about new products, which has ramped up considerably over the last year .
we have also recently worked hard at developing relationships with, and visiting, customers at their homes or places of business in order to offer a much more comprehensive and bespoke service .
jr: customer service is at the heart of everything we do, and influences pretty much every business decision. as such, we work hard to maintain standards with a rigorous quality control program. we empower our colleagues to build relationships with customers and work hard to ensure our in - store teams treat our customers as real people with individual needs, rather than reading from a ‘one size fits all’ sales script .
jr: we’re a diverse team, united by a passion for music and movies. our stores contain a remarkable number of budding musicians, djs, scriptwriters and film critics. each of our stores has a lot of autonomy – they are encouraged to support local events and respond to local demographics, on the basis that someone in cardiff (for example) has a better feel for the immediate community than someone in london or stockport, where our two central support offices are based. we encourage colleagues at all levels to innovate and improve the business by submitting their ideas, and have one of the most successful suggestion schemes in the uk .
jr: we believe in constant improvement, so it’s very satisfying to have risen from position 22 to number 4 on this survey. getting recognised for customer service excellence is very gratifying, but we know we can’t rest on our laurels. we’re constantly appraising what we do, and looking to enhance our customer service offering. i’m not sure where the next innovation will come from, but i’m fairly certain it will be from a colleague or customer suggestion .
one of the best events i' ve attended for years. inspiring, thought provoking speakers who were really happy to share their experience and expertise. i loved the format! head of engagement, the co - operative group case studies were fantastic and the industry reports are extremely useful for that wider view of insight we' re not so exposed to within our every - day roles. customer experience manager europe, hsbc one of the best events i have been to, great speakers, atmosphere, content / mind share - really enjoyed it and will be there next year. keep me informed of future events. retail specialist, at & t ;
