For more than 20 years, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond were one of television’s most beloved trios, entertaining millions with unforgettable adventures, epic road trips and their unmistakable chemistry. Now, the partnership that defined an era has officially come to an end.

The End Of W. Chump And Sons

Two years after stepping away from The Grand Tour, the three presenters have formally dissolved their production company, W. Chump and Sons—the business behind both The Grand Tour and their later projects together.

The company was officially wound up in July 2024, marking the final legal step in closing the chapter on one of the most successful partnerships in motoring television.

While fans have long known the trio had moved on professionally, the dissolution of the company serves as a symbolic farewell to an unforgettable era.

A Friendship That Changed Television

Clarkson, May and Hammond first became household names during their hugely successful run on the BBC’s Top Gear, transforming the motoring programme into a global phenomenon.

Their effortless humour, constant banter and unforgettable challenges won audiences around the world before they reunited on Prime Video for The Grand Tour, where they continued their adventures across continents for several more years.

Together, they created some of the most memorable moments in modern television and built one of entertainment’s strongest on-screen partnerships.

Three New Chapters

Although they are no longer working together, each presenter has embraced a new direction.

Jeremy Clarkson has enjoyed enormous success with Clarkson’s Farm, the hit Prime Video series documenting his life running Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire. The programme has introduced him to an entirely new audience while becoming one of Britain’s most popular factual entertainment shows.

James May has focused on solo projects, including travel documentaries, while also running his own pub in Wiltshire and pursuing a slower-paced lifestyle away from the spotlight.

Meanwhile, Richard Hammond has continued creating content through podcasts and digital projects, including collaborations with his daughter, while remaining active in the automotive world.

The Legacy Lives On

Although their business partnership has officially ended, Clarkson, May and Hammond remain among the most iconic presenting teams in television history.

For countless fans, their friendship, humour and shared adventures will continue to define an era of entertainment that is unlikely to be repeated.

Their company may now be gone, but the memories they created together—from Top Gear to The Grand Tour—will continue to entertain audiences for generations to come.
