Meridian Audio is recognised for delivering advanced in-car audio across Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar.
Meridian Audio has been named winner of JLR’s 2025 Growth Award at the Global Supplier Excellence Awards, held at Primrose Hill Farm, Oxfordshire, on Thursday, 5 June.
The award recognises the success of a long-standing collaboration, and celebrates Meridian’s contribution to the development of advanced in-car audio systems across the Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, and Jaguar brands.
As JLR’s official audio brand partner and audio processing software supplier, Meridian has worked closely with the company since 2011 — supporting not just engineering and integration, but marketing campaigns and the evolution of JLR’s Experience Centres, which now feature Meridian systems as part of the vehicle handover.
“We’re proud to receive this recognition from JLR— a partner that demands the highest standards and shares our ambition to craft truly exceptional experiences,” said Katy Berry, Global Marketing Director at Meridian.
“This award is a testament to every person across Meridian — from product and engineering to commercial and creative. It belongs to all of us.”
At the event, JLR praised both the partnership and the benefits of Meridian’s audio technology.
“The way we’ve grown together over the last 15 years is incredibly inspiring,” JLR shared at the awards ceremony.
“Meridian has helped accelerate the development of new luxury features, provided the flexibility our House of Brands requires, and consistently delivered competitive value — all while enhancing our customers’ handover and ownership experiences.”
The accolade follows the 2024 announcement of an extended long-term collaboration between the two iconic British brands — building on a trusted partnership that began in 2011. This agreement sees Meridian systems integrated into the next generation of JLR vehicles, with a focus on delivering high-performance audio that enhances the driving experience across every brand within JLR’s House of Brands.
As pioneers of digital signal processing and psychoacoustics, Meridian brings deep expertise in system-level engineering — delivering immersive, tailored sound experiences that respond to vehicle architecture, cabin acoustics, and listener behaviour.
Every Meridian system for every JLR vehicle is bespoke — engineered to reflect the distinct personality of the brand it serves.
Beyond vehicles, the collaboration now extends to marketing campaigns, experience centres, and the wider customer journey — reinforcing a partnership that goes far beyond the conventional role of a supplier.
