The Town Taking on China
Description: Factory owner Tony Caldeira has a plan to move his cushion manufacturing business from China to Britain. The problem is, does Britain want the work? The docu-series `The Town Taking on China' follows Caldeira's mission to combat souring wages in China by bringing jobs back to Britain, specifically to Kirkby, Merseyside. To begin, the biggest challenge is finding a staff in the fifth-most deprived borough in the country willing to work in a physically demanding job, and then inspiring them to commit to the company despite the fact they'll earn the minimum wage. To make it work, Caldeira calls on trusted factory manager Malcolm, sewing floor supervisor Pam, and experienced machinist Joanne.
