About the Company

Based in Maidenhead in Berkshire, Onkyo-Now.co.uk is part of Now Group UK Ltd, which also owns Nav Now, which retails sat nav systems, Motorpsort Now which manages motorsport marketing programs and AlcoSense, which manufactures the AlcoSense range of breathalysers.

Formed in 1999 by Hunter Abbott at the tender age of 18, Now Group UK Ltd started life as Hunter Abbott Racing, looking after motorsport sponsorship for Hunter's career as a racing driver.

The company developed from its motor racing roots and in 2004 was renamed as Now Group UK Ltd to represent it's diversification into other areas of business.

Shortly after, Now Group UK created Nav Now, specialising in the mail order retail of in-car technology. Nav Now has now risen to become one of the UK's largest independent dealers of in-car GPS products, differentiating itself from competition with it's level of service and highly knowledgeable staff.

As a result of the continuing development of the company, Now Group UK Ltd has won several business awards from including 2007 Marketing Innovation of the Year and Hunter Abbott, the company's Managing Director, won the 2005 Young Business Person of the Year Award, and was runner up as 2006 Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

In 2007 Now Group UK Ltd diversified in to home theatre equipment, using the successfull business models developed by Nav Now. After careful consideration Hunter chose to specialise in the up and coming Onkyo brand of equipment and started www.onkyo-now.co.uk and www.exceptional-av.co.uk.
