  • It’s no secret that thousands of businesses have hit hard times recently and many will be looking for a fresh perspective and new ideas to overcome challenges in the turbulent months ahead, well Channel 4 may have the answer

Renowned businessman and trouble-shooter, Sir Gerry Robinson, specialises in helping businesses that are in difficulty. A major new Channel 4 documentary series, will follow Gerry as he tries to help some of Britain’s businesses by offering not only expert practical advice, but also substantial investment to give them a new lease of life.

Gerry says, “a bit of extra credit, a bit of careful mentoring, just some decisive action at the right time could really save these businesses and they can go on to do amazing things.”

Each programme will see him working intensively with firms that could benefit from both his expertise and his investment. With the show in mind, Channel 4 is currently looking for privately-owned businesses with an annual turnover in the region of £500k to £10m, which think Gerry’s guidance and financial support could help them. Says a spokesperson, “One of the areas we are focussing on in our search is food manufacturing and processing and we would like to hear from owners of businesses in this industry.”
