Manage episode 427079336 series 2851248
Partrick Grant is a Designer, Businessman, Author and best known as a judge for ten series on BBC One's The Great British Sewing Bee. His career in fashion has spanned almost two decades where he has rebuilt the Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons, and relaunched E. Tautz, for which he won Menswear Designer of the Year. In 2015 Patrick bought the clothing manufacturer Cookson & Clegg which was the catalyst to launch his business Community Clothing which supports local clothing and textile manufacturers across the UK. Patrick is a regular on TV and Radio, as a commentator and a documentary maker and as an author he has written three books, including a Sunday Times bestseller with his latest book ‘Less’.
In this episode Patrick delves into where his fascination with how things were made came from and his love for quality made clothing, and how having fewer things in life can bring us more joy. Patrick opens up about his thoughts on coincidences and how he rides the wave of good luck and throws himself into opportunities and how the Great British Seeing Bee changed his life. We discuss the incredible Sliding Doors moment when he saw a random ad in the newspaper that led him to buy Norton & Son- the catalyst to where his is today. And we chat about the decision he made to buy a factory in need which led him on the path to start his business and write a best selling book!
