Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May have formally dissolved their joint television production company, W Chump & Sons, marking the official end of their business partnership. The company, which was established in 2015 alongside producer Andy Wilman, was responsible for bringing their Amazon series The Grand Tour to audiences worldwide.

The decision to wind up the company came in September of last year through a voluntary liquidation process. According to statements from the liquidators, W Chump & Sons had realized assets totaling approximately £24.08 million during its operation. This sum is understood to have been distributed evenly among the four partners, resulting in individual shares exceeding £6 million each.

W Chump & Sons was formed following the trio’s departure from the BBC’s Top Gear, where Clarkson, Hammond, and May initially gained widespread acclaim and financial success. The company played a central role in producing The Grand Tour, a series that featured the presenters traveling extensively and engaging in automotive challenges around the globe.

The official closure of W Chump & Sons signals the conclusion of a significant chapter in British television, ending a collaboration that had garnered a large international following and multiple awards. While the partnership may have closed its corporate book, the impact of their work continues to resonate in automotive entertainment.
