A Wolverhampton fencing firm makes for ‘strong and stable’ security; which, a journalist’s hinting at Theresa May’s election mantra, was a good reason for the BBC’s flagship morning radio programme to visit Zaun for political comment in the past few days, as the country sought to come to terms with the results of the 2017 General Election.
The final few constituencies were still yet to declare when Radio 4 Today correspondent Matthew Price arrived before 7am on Friday to interview owner and managing director Alastair Henman, fork life truck operator Matt Ellis and stores apprentice Jordan Hughes.
That broadcast went out on June 9; as the programme sought to make sense of a hung Parliament and how long Mrs May might last at the head of a minority Government.
And then BBC Midlands Today arrived to capture footage of fencing systems in manufacture and conduct TV interviews. Their Black Country correspondent Ben Godfrey put questions to Alastair and Jordan.
A short two-minute teaser went out at lunchtime on Monday with the main bulletin leading the half-hour slot at 6.30pm that evening.
