It’s a subject that most avoid, but having a business partner die without a will can lead to serious problems

While CAT is unable to visit businesses in person, we instead bring you some of our favourite archive features from the past few years. This interview with Jim Sumner, the then Chairman of Andrew Page was conducted in January 2016, some months before the firm went in to administration

The last time we caught up with Andrew Page was fifteen months ago. Back then, the company was going through a turbulent time, with rumours circulating throughout the aftermarket about the factor chain’s future, both long and short term.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit came in four marks since it's launch in 1980. We give the vehicle the 'once over' on our ramp

Perhaps you’ve got one eye on retirement – but is handing over your business to a family member the best plan?

For those of you who can still remember being a teenager, you may recall thinking that you would never get old, or if you were going to, it was so far off your radar. However, for those of us who are now of a certain age and can’t remember what being a teenager was like, then we are probably also at a point in our lives where planning for some form of retirement has become a consideration.

The Porsche Boxster is the latest car to get the once over on our ramp.

Originally launched in 1996 the 986 was styled on the 550 Spyder, before in 2005, the model was replaced by the 987 in 2005 and was in production until 2012. The second generation Boxster took the roadster concept and improved it both cosmetically and mechanically. It eventually became the basis on which the much-coveted Cayman was then spawned.

New tech means that VMs will pull the strings, so how can the aftermarket break free? Neil Pattemore
