Title: Anatomy of Redundancy
Description: Three-part series dissecting often-neglected everyday dramas
that change ordinary lives forever. 1: Redundancy. Exploring
the failure of the Birmingham-based manufacturer Savekers in
March 2009 from the perspective of boardroom, back office
and shopfloor. The programme hears from those at every level
of the 106-year-old family firm about the trauma of being in
business when sales have stalled, the phones have stopped
ringing and desperate suppliers are at the door chasing
payment. Managing director Dani Saveker recalls the lonely
experience of being the boss when the only remaining option
is to call in the administrators and relinquish control of
the family business. The official administrator traces the
tough process of preparing the business for sale and
choosing the employees who are to be made redundant. And
long-term employees recount their shock at the announcement
that they would very soon be clocking off for the last time.
The programme traces their unsuccessful search for new work,
the financial strain of losing an income and the emotional
fallout which follows when a business goes under
