After more than 20 years leading car and marine audio supplier Celsus UK, Paul Baker has handed over the reigns to his son Mark.
Paul, who incorporated the business back in 2002, has grown Celsus into a key distributor of car audio, marine audio, and electronics.
Paul’s retirement follows on from Mark stepping into the role of managing director in 2024, providing a smooth handover and continuity for customers, suppliers, and partners.
Mark now plans to continue taking the business forward while keeping the same personal touch and commitment to service.
“I am proud to be taking the business forward with the help of my youngest brother Josh and our fantastic team,” said Mark.
Many positive lessons have been learnt from Paul’s leadership in the company.

Paul is now looking forward to having more time on the water, with sailing — his long-time passion — set to take centre stage.
“I would like to thank all our supply partners and customers for their tremendous loyalty over the past 20 years,” said Paul.
“This has truly been the most exciting and rewarding chapter of my career, filled with memories I will always treasure.
“As I retire, I look forward to the future – enjoying my passion for sailing and deepening my faith in god.”
