The Trailer

From the mills hidden in plain sight, to the manufacturers sitting at the heart of our communities, we go through the factory gates to meet the people whose stories are welded, woven, and boiled into some of our most iconic British-made products.

The host, Steve, is an award-winning economics journalist who has reported from more than 60 countries during the past two decades. In this series, he visits some of the UK’s most creative and skilled makers, to tour their factories and ask what they’ve learnt crafting beautiful things, the power of optimism, and the lessons of failure. 

Join us on our travels across the UK. A new episode is released every other Tuesday.
