Title: Mary’s Bottom Line
Description: With transport costs and foreign labour costs rising, retail
guru Mary Portas believes this is a window of opportunity to
restore some life back to British manufacturing. So she’s
heading to Middleton, Greater Manchester, to set up a new
production line for British-made knickers. Mary wants the
next generation of consumers to understand the true value of
buying British: skills, UK jobs, pride in our manufacturing
heritage. It will be a challenge for Mary who normally
frequents an altogether different shop-floor. She not only
needs to breathe life back into a mothballed factory, she
has to persuade the old seamstresses to teach the new
recruits, and track down some of the last fabric suppliers
in the country. Will she pull it off, or will her first ever
foray into manufacturing be simply a brief encounter?
