Mark Crabtree - Biog
APRS Fellow Mark Crabtree is the owner and Managing Director of AMS Neve and the creator of many classic digital and analogue audio products.
After graduating from Cambridge with an Engineering degree and from Manchester with a Masters’ degree in Digital Electronics, Mark worked as Engineering Manager at Lucas Aerospace. However, in his spare time he was combining his love of music (he plays piano, guitar and violin) with his electronics knowledge to invent digital sound-enhancing devices. This resulted in the formation of AMS in 1975, a company that sold its first product to Sir Paul McCartney and is still designing and making innovative audio products in Mark’s hometown of Burnley, Lancashire. In 1992 AMS merged with Neve.
Awarded an OBE in 2014 for Services to Advanced Manufacturing and Creative Industries, Mark is also the recipient of two Scientific and Technical Oscars®, an Emmy™ and a Grammy™, while AMS Neve has three Queen’s Awards for Export to its credit.
