BBC One’s “Make It at Market” returns, once again offering a platform for passionate crafters to chase their entrepreneurial dreams. This week, the spotlight shines on woodworker Neil and embroiderer Catherine as they attempt to transform their hobbies into thriving businesses. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Stoneywell in Leicestershire, the series provides a charming stage for these aspiring entrepreneurs.
Neil, a retired police officer, brings his woodworking skills to the table, but he needs to streamline his operation to attract more consistent orders. Mentor Bruce steps in to offer guidance, hoping to help Neil shape his passion into a profitable venture. Meanwhile, Catherine, who began her embroidery business after her father’s passing, faces the challenge of focusing her work to generate a sustainable income, with mentor Stephanie’s support.
Over eight weeks, Dom Chinea and his team of mentors provide advice and support, but ultimately, it’s up to the crafters to put the guidance into action. Will they rise to the occasion or crumble under the pressure? “Make It at Market” airs Friday, 14 March at 3:45 PM on BBC One.
