Mr Cooper said: “I am proud of Orange. We took a small idea and grew it into a global leading brand. We have stayed current and relevant, retained that personal touch and remained true to our identity. Today, Orange is renowned for its state of the art products and has been honoured by winning the Queens Award for industry and enterprise three times.”

To mark its golden anniversary, Orange is launching new innovative products and commemorative merchandise, along with videos covering rare amplifiers and interviews recognising its fifty-year history.
