Wolfe Power Club Podcast

Recorded in Monaco with RM Sotheby’s during their classic car auction, Wolfe Power Club examines how the classic car market has behaved since February 28th, the start of the Iran Crisis.
Host Alex Wolfe speaks with Harvey Stanley about Ferrari demand, collector behaviour, and whether global events such as the Iran crisis are affecting high-value car sales. In the auction, there is everything from Ayrton Senna's first F1 car to a Ferrari 250 SWB Spyder formally owned by the Monaco royal family.
From Formula 1 history to multi-million euro Ferraris, this is a look inside the market during a key moment in the auction calendar.
Harvey was last on the podcast in our Christmas episode, where we looked back at a huge year for RM Sotheby’s and the global car market.

In this episode of Wolfe Power Club, Alex Wolfe brings together representatives from Reform UK, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats to explore how energy policy is shaping public voting decisions.
Recorded live from the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool, during the UKIFDA EXPO & Conference 2026, our fireside chats cut through the headlines to focus on what actually matters: rising energy costs, pressure on households and businesses and the trade-offs between affordability, security and long-term transition.
From fuel duty and heating oil to North Sea production, renewables and windfall taxes, each party sets out its approach and where it differs from the others, ultimately showing why it may play a defining role in the upcoming UK local elections.

Many thanks to our friends from UKIFDA for the opportunity to host us on the main stage and for a fantastic conference experience!

In this episode of Wolfe Power Club, host Alex Wolfe explores the growing impact of the Iran crisis on the UK logistics sector, with HGV operators facing rising diesel costs and mounting pressure on already tight margins.
Recorded before this week's Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC, Alex is joined by Richard Smith, Managing Director of the Road Haulage Association (RHA), the leading voice representing HGV, coach and van operators across the UK.
Together, they discuss the recent surge in fuel costs, how the UK response compares internationally and what support the sector needs to remain competitive. We also examine longer-term solutions to future energy shocks, the transition to electric HGVs and the challenges around infrastructure, electricity pricing, and investment.
The conversation also covers the UK Government’s £1bn Zero Emission Truck, Van & Depot Charging Scheme, the ongoing shortage of secure HGV parking and what success looks like for the logistics sector over the next 12 months.

Richard Smith is Managing Director of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and is a member and the chair of the Senior Leadership Team. With over 30 years’ experience in logistics and supply chain leadership, Richard brings deep industry insight and a strong track record of delivering operational excellence and strategic growth.

In this episode of Wolfe Power Club, Alex Wolfe is joined by Managing Director, Tom Highland (Highland Group), and Commercial Director, Sarah Kind (Edge Petrol), to uncover the truth behind fuel prices as the UK enters week six of disruption following the Iran conflict.
With diesel prices up by as much as 40-50p per litre in just weeks, politicians have accused retailers of profiteering, but this episode challenges that narrative using real data from over 1,000 UK forecourts.
We break down what’s really happening at the pump: shrinking retailer margins, rising wholesale costs and the reality that most of the price you pay is driven by tax and global markets, not forecourt profits.
The episode also busts the biggest myths, including the idea that petrol stations are sitting on weeks of cheap fuel, and explains why independents often look more expensive than supermarkets during volatile periods.
From panic buying and supply concerns to the growing gap between petrol and diesel, this is a clear, no-nonsense look at one of the biggest cost-of-living issues in the UK today.

Tom Highland is the Managing Director of Highland Group. A family-run fuel retail business for over 45 years with 6 sites across Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Suffolk. He has taken a leadership role in running the sites for 10 years. Winner of several Forecourt Trader awards, including the Special Recognition award in 2024. First to trial Co-op's new & Co-op fascia offer. The business currently has 5 sites with BP and 1 with Esso, and previously with Shell. Tom runs a TikTok account to show what it's like to run a petrol station from under the @thepetrolretailer channel.

Sarah Kind is Commercial Director at EdgePetrol, a fuel pricing and analytics platform supporting around 1,000 independent forecourts. She joined in 2018 to build the Customer Success function when the business was in its early stages, and has since moved into a commercial leadership role. Sarah works closely with retailers to help them navigate fuel pricing, improve performance, and stay competitive in a fast-changing market. She is passionate about building customer relationships and bringing practical insight to the complexities of fuel pricing.
