Warwick Music Group celebrates Queen’s Award for world-beater 

West Midlands-based Warwick Music Group celebrated its Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation at a party held at Hotel du Vin, Birmingham.

Warwick Music Group has sold more than 250,000 pBones, conceived by a team of West Midlands musicians who set out to create a quality instrument that made the joy of music accessible and fun for all. Chief executive Steven Greenall thanked guests for their support.
