In this episode of Premier Talk, we sit down with performance coach and mentor Mark Collins to explore what really happens to people — in business and in sport — when the pressure is on.

Mark brings a unique perspective shaped by 25 years coaching amateur boxing, working with professional footballers, and navigating the highs and lows of business life. The conversation covers how pressure develops in the mind, why decision making is the real leveller, and why the W stands for Win but the L never stands for Loss.

We also get into why calm is a skill not a personality trait, what Usain Bolt can teach us about performing on the biggest stage, and Mark's Sunday morning Active Shift walks on the Sandbanks seafront — and why they're growing.

Whether you're an athlete, a business owner, or just someone trying to keep their head straight under pressure — there's something in this one for you.

In this end of year episode of Premier Sports Solutions, the team sit down to look back on the year that’s been — from the cars we’ve sold, to our cars of the year.

We also play a fun game debating car vs car, vote on our favourites, and get creative by asking if footballers were cars, which would they be? From Defender to Urus, no one is safe.

To wrap things up, we look ahead to what’s coming next, including cars coming up for sale, new models launching, and our upcoming 2026 picks.

A relaxed end of year conversation about cars, footballers and automotive culture.

What’s it like raising a Premier League footballer, and how do you stay grounded when your son’s playing in front of 60,000 fans?

In this episode of Premier Torque, the lads sit down with the brilliantly outspoken and down-to-earth Nick Ramsdale, father of England and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Nick shares stories from his own days as a professional athlete and hurdler, how sport shaped his family’s work ethic and what it took to help Aaron chase his dream. 

From freezing nights at Bolton’s youth academy to standing in the stands during England’s national anthem, Nick reflects on the pride, pressure and perspective that come with being a football parent.

The group also dive into their shared love of cars, swapping stories about first motors, dream drive and how footballers choose their wheels today. 

With a trademark mix of humour, honesty and heart, this one’s full of laughs and life lessons in equal measure.

Think financing a supercar is as glamorous as the car itself? Think again. In this episode of Premier Torque, we sit down with Tim Marlow, industry veteran from Magnitude Finance and DSG, to pull back the curtain on how the world of luxury and supercar finance really works.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Tim has seen it all. From the rise of PCP deals and balloon payments, to FCA regulation shifts and even financing rare hypercars like Pagani. 

He breaks down the biggest misconceptions around car finance (hint: no, nil deposit doesn’t mean free money), explains the difference between lease purchase, hire purchase and PCP, and shares what happens when footballers forget to pay their £61 utility bills.

We also tackle hot topics like the electric car market crash, the rise of Chinese brands and what the future of supercar financing could look like. 

Whether you’re a petrolhead, finance geek or just curious about what really goes on behind the scenes, this conversation will leave you smarter about the numbers behind the machines.

What’s it really like to train with Lionel Messi? How do Premier League footballers pick their cars? And who has the worst driving habits at AFC Bournemouth?

In this episode of Premier Torque, we welcome special guest Marcos Senesi, Argentine international and Bournemouth defender, for an honest and entertaining conversation about life on and off the pitch.

Marcos shares what it felt like stepping onto the training ground alongside Lionel Messi, adjusting from Buenos Aires to Bournemouth, and why comfort and practicality often beat horsepower when it comes to choosing cars as a footballer. From his first Chevrolet in Argentina to cruising in an RS Q8 and G63 in England, Marcos talks us through his car journey — plus a few stories about teammates’ driving skills (or lack of them!).

We also dive into his football mindset: handling nerves, coping with tough results, and his hopes for Bournemouth’s season ahead. It’s a mix of laughs, football insight, and plenty of car chat you won’t want to miss.

Last time we traced 20 years of what footballers buy - this week we get into when and why. With the summer transfer window in full swing, Rich, Marc, Cliff & Mack explain the frantic two‑week July rush, the lull that follows pre‑season tours, and the “Lambo‑on‑standby” moments that happen the minute a new deal is inked.

Fresh from Goodwood Festival of Speed, the team break down the cars that really matter to Premier Sports clients: Alpine’s retro‑electric R5, Land Rover’s 626 bhp Defender OCTA, Urban’s wide‑track Cullinan, and the jaw‑dropping colours now available straight from Solihull. They debate Mercedes’ new all‑electric CLA, a £107k BMW M2 CS, Porsche’s fully‑electric Cayenne mule, and why Ferrari’s upcoming “F80” hypercar might leave purists craving more noise. Add in a baby‑blue Cullinan build for a Liverpool star, Chinese EV interiors that are better than they look, soaring list prices, and a showroom restock that reads like a Premier League car park, and you’ve got a packed, car‑heavy episode.

Two decades in the making. In the debut episode of Premier Torque, Founder Rich Clark sits down with the team to unpack the unlikely journey from a university grad working retail, to running Chinese TV fan trips that introduced him to elite players, to brokering a Bentley for Jamie Redknapp—and ultimately launching Premier Sports Solutions in 2005.

From early runs on Bentley Continental GTs and Range Rover Sports to today’s Urban‑kitted G‑Wagons, Cullinans and hybrid super‑SUVs, the team charts 20 years of what footballers actually buy, how trends ripple through dressing rooms, and why trust, speed and discretion keep players coming back. They also lift the lid on list price vs market reality, UK EV charging frustrations, McLaren’s next chapter under new leadership, and the regulatory whiplash slowing fresh car launches.

Stick around to the end for how to send in your questions (cars, contracts, football life) and to hear Rich tease future guest player appearances.
