À propos de ce contenu audio
Every company has a lifespan. Some have two.
Over the course of a century, glasses-maker Curry & Paxton went from pioneering new optical instruments, to becoming a key supplier to the NHS, to appearing in iconic movies. Then, in 1987, they vanished.
On this week’s The Factory Next Door, we visit the workshop where they are breathing new life into this heritage British brand.
Number 44 on our list of the greatest products we make here are The Optical Glasses.
Peter Lynes, director at Curry & Paxton tells us why, after a 30-year career working with British clothing brands, he wanted to jump into the world of eyewear and revive this glasses maker. During our factory tour, Peter shares insights into how to build a brand and explains why he now wakes up with a heightened sense of purpose.
Also on the show, glasses maker Mila gives thanks to his Grandad and celebrates a machine maker who transformed his life.
