Raw wood in one end. Jukeboxes out the other.
Very few factories remain in Britain where you can watch the entire process under one roof. Walk from our R&D and Custom Shop design studio to the cabinet workshop and mechanism production line, meet the team who bring each jukebox to life, then finish in our showroom.
Leeds, since 1978
Manufacturing memories for over 40 years
Inventor and electrical engineer Alan Black founded Sound Leisure in 1978. It's still owned and run by Alan and his family, making us the oldest single-ownership jukebox company in the world.
We demonstrated the first digital jukebox in 1988, brought vinyl jukeboxes back in 2016, and today export around 80% of our Classic Jukeboxes to more than 40 countries. Every one is still built by hand, here.
Yorkshire Post Exporter of the Year 2019. Manufacturing Guild Mark 2020.
