Alex Polizzi: The Fixer
Heck Sausages
Season 3 Episode 2 of 6
How do small businesses cope when they go into partnership with the 'big boys'? That's one of the questions Alex Polizzi is pondering as she travels to Kirklington, North Yorkshire, to meet the Keebles, a family of farmers-turned-sausage-makers. They need the supermarkets to sell their Heck-brand bangers in order to survive, but like many small producers, it's a relationship that has sometimes left them feeling powerless. Alex gains access to the food development kitchens of a major retailer, and also uncovers some of the secrets of supermarket shelf layouts. But will her new-found knowledge help the Keebles to ensure Heck Sausages maintain a prominent place in the nation's aisles, and become the UK's leading premium brand?
Alex Polizzi: The Fixer airs on Virgin Media Three at 10:40 AM, Wednesday 13 November. (Repeat.)
