It seems Simon Kohler is retiring from Hornby.

There are a lot of people there who have a passion, but have they lost that 'driving force'?

[Mercdriver]

They all seam to have “that driving force” ?

I think it is the dream job for the people involved and that shows in the programme

[Doofus]

What I mean is that Simon seemed to be steering the ship and can anybody, from within, step up?

[Mercdriver]

Totally agree with you doofus, he did seem to have his finger on the pulse of what the public want.

Fingers crossed they deserve to succeed, hate to see them fold even if they subcontract the manufacturing to China

According to the latest Hornby magazine, he retired at the end of May.
