Why is it so hard to fix things when they break? With Beko and eSpares

The Big Green Money Show

Available for over a year

Dragons' Den favourite Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah return to take another look at what our biggest businesses are doing to reduce their impact on the planet. Today they investigate why it’s so difficult to get our stuff fixed when it breaks. They find out about a new right to repair law introduced a year ago and hear complaints from campaigners that it doesn't go far enough. Did you know it doesn’t cover your smartphone? Plus they talk to budget appliance maker BEKO about whether manufacturers really want us to fix things when they break. And they hear from a repair company which has had 100 million views for its DIY fixit videos on Youtube.
