About this employer

For over six decades, Marshall’s legacy has grown chord to chord, person to person, generation to generation. It all began in 1962 in Hanwell, London, when Jim and Terry Marshall built their first-ever amp, laying the foundation for a sound that would define rock ’n’ roll. As demand grew, we moved to Bletchley in the late ’60s, where our factory remains to this day. We’ve never stopped amplifying music for artists and fans, continually honing our craft to uphold our reputation for legendary sound and iconic design. Our most iconic amps are still proudly built in Bletchley, UK. Today, the Marshall name stands for more than just legendary amps. It powers musicians and music lovers with professional equipment, consumer electronics, a record label, and a state-of-the-art recording studio, delivering exceptional audio experiences worldwide. We are the home of loud.
