Bristol businesses star in new show on Amazon’s Prime Video
Released on Amazon’s Prime Video, all five episodes of Business As Unusual star two businesses from Bristol – salon NOCO Hair and travel company Inside Travel Group. The series follows eight companies on a journey through lockdowns, re-openings and the every-day challenges faced by businesses across the UK.
Narrated by Downton Abbey’s Phyllis Logan, the audience is given a fascinating bird’s eye view of business owners navigating through one of the most unpredictable periods in modern history with the guidance of a local business coach, Gary Keating. The series starts at the onset of the pandemic and grips viewers wondering if the business owner heroes will survive the toughest business conditions in living memory.
The scenarios are real and some are seemingly impossible, not least the business partners with travel company, Inside Travel Group in Quay Street, specialising in tours to Japan – a country with one of the longest lockdown periods! Whilst NOCO Hair not only contends with lockdowns but also opens a second salon in Clifton in addition to their original salon in Redlands – all with strict guidelines to keep staff and customers safe and healthy.
This series is perfect for anyone thinking of becoming a business owner, understanding the mindset and action needed during times of crisis. For those already fully immersed in business ownership, this show will draw parallels to situations you have faced, not only during the pandemic but on a daily basis. And for anyone looking for a heartfelt documentary showing how both professional and personal lives collided during the pandemic, this is a window into the lives of some business owners struggling to ensure the job security of their staff and families.
“It was certainly an experience being followed around by a filming crew over the course of two of the most tumultuous years but I think it’s really important for people to see behind the scenes of businesses during that time. There are so many lessons to be learned which are valuable considering the current economic climate,” said Gary Keating from ActionCOACH Bristol.
