Turning Heads in a 20 year old Car.

28 Jun 2025 | Posted by Andrew Onions

In today's image-conscious world, appearances—cars included—can strongly influence how people judge one another, both socially and professionally. The author reflects on their own experience of chasing status through shiny new cars, only to realize the financial toll it had taken over 30 years. Nearing 50 and facing the end of a company car lease, they decided to break the cycle of loans and leasing by purchasing an older, more affordable vehicle—one that came from their own dad. Despite the adjustment from a high-tech EV to a basic older model, they found freedom and nostalgia in simplicity. Reactions from colleagues and strangers ranged from sympathy to judgment, highlighting how deeply first impressions still matter. But ultimately, the author reminds us that it's not about the car—it's about the person behind the wheel.

 

MacLellan Rubber: re branding of an industry icon.

MacLellan Rubber: re branding of an industry icon.

In mid-2024, MacLellan Rubber, a company with 146 years of history in polymer-based products, embarked on a major rebranding initiative—the first since new ownership took over in 2010. The goal was to modernize its identity while honouring its legacy and projecting a clear vision for the future. With a strong foundation in innovation, logistics, and supply chain integration, MacLellan continues to expand its product offerings from its Wolverhampton-based facilities. To reflect its evolution, the company collaborated with its long-time digital marketing agency and rebranded as MacLellan, Polymers to Industry, moving beyond the "Rubber" label to better represent its broader capabilities in the polymer sector.
