About Dübreq

Dübreq was originally formed by Brian Jarvis, Burt Coleman and Ted Coleman in 1967. The company originally started out life as a dubbing and recording studio (hence the name, dub/rec) but soon developed into a manufacturing company specialising in professional audio/visual equipment.

It was the Stylophone™ that turned dübreq into a major manufacturer and, in its heyday the company had over 100 employees at its Cricklewood offices/manufacturing plant. Building on the success of the Stylophone™, dübreq continued in the toy market bringing out such classics as the 'Top Trumps' card trading game and continuing to work with Rolf Harris on other music and art products.

dübreq eventually closed its doors in 1980 when the directors chose to pursue different career paths.
  In the light of a resurgence in media interest in the Stylophone™ in the late 1990's and early 2000's Ben Jarvis, son of Brian Jarvis and a trained product designer, decided that someone needed to do something with the Stylophone™ brand. After speaking to both Brian and Burt Coleman about the idea, he re-formed dübreq Ltd with James MacFarlane, an electronics consultant, and set about bringing the Stylophone™ back from the dead.

dübreq Ltd intend to continue the tradition started by the original company and work to bring to market a growing range of innovative and exciting toys, gifts and children's products.
