On a Sunday night in early 2015 Patrick Grant (award winning designer and judge on the BBC's Sewing Bee) receives an email telling him that Cookson & Clegg, a Blackburn clothing manufacturing established in 1860, and one of his most valued suppliers, is going to be shut for good. 60 people will lose their jobs. He steps in and buys the factory saving it from closure.
