Formby Craftsman to Feature on New ITV1 Series ‘Be Your Own Boss’

A local Formby woodworker, Leo, is set to appear on national television this weekend in an exciting new ITV1 series called ‘Be Your Own Boss’, airing this Sunday, 19th October at 1:15pm — and also available to stream on ITVX.

The programme, filmed here in Formby over the summer, follows entrepreneurs and small business owners as they receive expert mentoring and support to help grow their ventures.

Leo’s episode features Holly Tucker M.B.E., founder of Holly & Co and Not On The High Street, who visits his Formby workshop to offer her expertise, guidance, and creative insight.

Speaking about the experience, Leo said: “It was incredible to be a part of this opportunity. Holly’s advice and encouragement have been truly inspiring, and I’m so excited to share my journey with everyone. I really hope you enjoy watching it.”

You can catch Leo’s story on Episode 1 of Be Your Own Boss, airing this Sunday, 19th October at 1:15pm on ITV1, and all five episodes will also be available to stream on ITVX from the same day.

A fantastic moment of recognition for one of Formby’s talented local makers — don’t miss it!
