The Aftermarket magazine team say farewell.

In his final editor’s comment for Aftermarket magazine, Phil Curry has announced the publication’s closure after 23 years.

The news follows Bob Sockl’s retirement from his position as Director of Crystal Communications and will also see the demise of Top Technician magazine and the Top Technician event.

Under the heading It’s goodbye from Aftermarket magazine, Mr Curry wrote: “It’s sad to say but this will be my last Editor’s Comment and the last newsletter.

“Despite everyone’s best efforts, no viable way to continue could be found.”
