History

Moss of Bath est 1962

Founded by Frank Moss in 1962, Moss of Bath originally sold small electrical appliances and black and white televisions. Over 60 years on, Frank’s son Tim is now at the helm, offering that critical mix of tech expertise and exceptional customer service. With Tim’s proactive and positive approach to business, Moss of Bath has embraced the thriving home entertainment landscape – expanding to include everything from high-end and bespoke audio visual systems to home cinema installation, smart lighting and more.

At its heart, Moss of Bath is still a family business with roots firmly tied to the city of Bath. Privately owned by its directors and with a strong team of knowledgeable staff, Moss draws upon its wealth of experience gained over decades.
