Business Inspector - Season 1 Episode 4 Epsiode 4
This week, Hilary is helping two businesses in two very different industries, both close to her heart – trucking and spa treatment. Having made her millions in the haulage business, Hilary likes nothing better than to pamper herself at a health spa. She is hoping that her passion and years of expertise will be enough to turn the two enterprises around. Family man Harry runs a decades-old haulage business on the outskirts of Dartford. This is a racket with a lot of history – his grandfather started the family trade with a single horse and cart in the 1930s. Today, Harry’s business still supports his family, with his two sons and a granddaughter working alongside him. It is Harry’s hope that the younger generation will soon take the reigns from him so he can retire. However, due to the recession, trucks are standing stationary in the yard and this once thriving haulage firm is losing money. The Business Inspector wastes no time in rolling up her sleeves and getting to the root of the problem. Given Hilary’s proven track record as one of the most successful haulage entrepreneurs in the country, will the family heed her advice? Or will their pride come before a substantial fall in profits? Hilary then travels all the way up to Yorkshire to visit Amaana Spa. Owner Saarah’s husband invested over £130,000 of his own money in the business three years ago in order to give Saarah “a focus”. Hilary discovers Saarah is a hands-off boss who needs to take control of her underperforming business. However, this timid country girl needs some of ballsy Hilary’s confidence to rub off if she is to have any chance of turning her salon around. Only time will tell whether she will receive the boost in revenue she so sorely needs
