British Manufacture here? Dream!

Bottom Line, I think so!

So I'm taking my FMP to the extreme, I've just finished watching all 3 of Mary Porta's Bottom Line.
Literally inspired my FMP so much. What she has done has been achieved, people are employed and more money is going back into the economy. I know my idea can work, I'm sure of it.

Timetable

Timetable for the next coming weeks. Hopefully my project will be completed in time!
