Filthy Business airs Monday 11 July on BBC Three
Meet Cam and Oli, best friends and grime partners. During lockdown, the two 26-year-olds from the West Midlands launched their waste management company and quickly realised there was money to be made.
The boys’ biggest challenge right now is that they will do anything to stay on track after their company misses out on a £50k job.
Filthy Business is a lighthearted single doc showing the highs and lows of being your own boss. We follow Cam and Oli from a 5am bin collection in Birmingham, to clearing an animal enclosure in West Midlands Safari Park, to demolishing a garden full of sheds. We also see Cam and Oli wrestling with the dilemma faced by every fresh start-up: how do you grow your company while maintaining some work-life balance?
Cam and Oli met as kids through their love of rugby. But now that business is taking off, they’re both questioning their commitment to the game: can they afford to get injured when their work is so physical? Set against the backdrop of the West Midlands, Filthy Business is not just a tribute to friendship and entrepreneurship, it’s a celebration of the boys’ hometown of Bromsgrove and the wider region.
Airdate: Monday 11 July 2022 at 8.00pm on BBC Three.
