Celebrity Big Brother boost for Ashington business
Posted on: 21/01/2010
A Northumberland business received a high-profile boost on Monday when its products were featured on Celebrity Big Brother. The famous housemates, including Vinnie Jones and Stephanie Beacham, donned adult-sized romper suits made in Ashington for one of their tasks. The All in One Company only had about 24 hours to custom-make the suits but expect to benefit from the TV exposure. The business was set up by Kate Dawson, who originally worked in child care. Made-to-measure Kate said she started the business six years ago after a nanny looking after her daughter said her sleep suit looked so comfy she would like one too. At first she worked from home but in 2008 expanded to open a factory employing six staff.
