Brighton_store_team

Jake Morris – Store Manager: Previously of Audio T Portsmouth fame, Jake joined the Brighton store in 2025. He has had a lifelong connection with music, from listening to an eclectic mix with his dad and picking up his first guitar as a pre-teen, to performing with friends around the UK.

Jake also works as a session bassist, composer and music producer, and enjoys long walks on the beach. Rather than sticking to one musical genre, some of his favourite artists include Idles, Architects, Miles Davis, Art Pepper, Sigrid, Nova Twins, Jon Hopkins and Guitarricadelafuente.

Jake is currently building up a larger record collection, as he feels physical media brings a real sense of connection and passion to music listening. His current system is based around a Naim Uniti and PMC speakers.

Adrian Pollard – Sales Consultant: After 32 years as a mathematics teacher, Adrian decided to pursue his lifelong interest in music and Hi-Fi.

Introduced to classical music and jazz by his father, Adrian’s tastes later expanded into hard rock, particularly Deep Purple Mk II and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. He also spent several years playing lead and rhythm guitar in a band called The Trilobites.

His musical tastes now range from the golden age of jazz to rock and classical music. Having admired Linn and Naim systems since the late 1970s, Adrian is now the proud owner of a Naim Uniti Nova.

Kevin Simmonds – Part-Time Sales Consultant: Kevin has spent most of his working life in the retail and service industries. His career began at Comet during the halcyon days of Hi-Fi, complete with its famous “wall of silver”.

A long-standing Audio T customer, Kevin has developed his own system considerably over the past 40 years, culminating in the Naim active system he enjoys today.

Since joining the Brighton team, Kevin has enjoyed discovering new music with his colleagues, expanding his knowledge and keeping up with the latest developments in audio technology.
