Power – The Aston Martin CC100
It has been a year of announcements for the iconic British brand, and who can blame them, we would be shouting about it too if we reached 100 years old. Aston continued to celebrate their centenary year with the launch of the Aston Martin CC100 concept car at the Nürburgring. This not so subtle racing machine is a salute to the DBR1, which gave Aston its only every success in the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1959. Although it’s not yet known whether this car will go into production, Aston Chief executive, Ulrich Bez, has hinted that if there is ...

However if that entrepreneur gets that business right, the rewards can be more than worth it. One of the biggest hurdles that any business faces is gaining investment, whether this is seed investment, expansion investment, investment for a cash flow issue or maybe just an investment ...
Style Icon – The Duke of Windsor
It is fair to say that the Duke of Winsor was not a great King, with his reign being only 326 days and the shortest in the history of the British Monarchy. His abdication in 1936 was due to his proposal to marry twice divorced Wallis Simpson, an American socialite at the time. Such a marriage would have conflicted with the Monarch’s role as head of the Church of England, not to mention the staunch opposition from the government of the day, lead by Stanley Baldwin. Whilst politics and his role as King were not his strongest attributes, one thing ...

The Review – Novikov
As if there weren’t already enough Asian and Italian restaurants in London, Arkady Novikov, Russia’s much- celebrated entrepreneur and restaurateur, set his sights on Mayfair a year ago and plotted two more on the map. Situated on the Green Park end of Mayfair’s Berkeley Street, directly opposite The Ritz and a stone’s throw away from - you clocked it - none other than the eponymous Nobu, Novikov is perfectly positioned to attract London’s rich and famous who already frequent the area. “You’ve got to be pretty brave to step on Nobu’s territory,” I hear you say. “No, not if you are Arkady Novikov.”
