Textiles firm has switched some of its production to face masks

A textiles firm has revealed reveals how it has saved jobs after switching some of its production to making face masks during the pandemic. Lancashire Textiles, which usually makes bedding, feared it might have to make staff redundant at the start of the pandemic - but has ended up taking staff on due to demand. The Burnley-based firm employs around 45 staff and has an annual turnover of £5m from producing mattresses, duvets and pillows since it was formed in 2001. This video was filmed 15th July 2020.
