Struggling Businesses Could Get a Gerry Robinson Makeover
The producers of a new TV show, featuring well known business guru Gerry Robinson, are seeking applications from struggling businesses who would like to go under the program's spotlight.
One time Chief Executive of Granada TV, Gerry Robinson is better known for his role in "I'll Show Them Who's Boss" where he attempted to help turn around ailing family businesses and more recently in "Can Gerry Robinson Fix the NHS" where he tried to revitalise Rotherham General Hospital.
The new program will focus on struggling businesses in the construction, retail or leisure and hospitality sectors. In addition to his usual troubleshooting-style approach, Robinson will also be investing his own money in the business.
Eligible businesses must be privately owned, working in the appropriate sector, turning over at least £500,000 per year and be going through a tough time.
Anyone interested should contact tessa@goggleboxentertainment.co.uk or ring Tessa or Becky on 020 8233 2952.
