  • Summary

  • Since 1824, if you’ve got into difficulties on the British coastline, volunteers from the RNLI will race to your aid. They’ll arrive in a distinctive bright orange boat. A boat built in Britain.

    Number 23 on our list of the greatest things we make in Britain is The Inflatable Lifeboat.

    In this week’s episode of The Factory Next Door, we head to Cowes on the Isle of Wight to meet Glyn Ellis, Business Operations Manager at the RNLI’s Inshore Lifeboat Centre.

    We learn about the craft that goes into making boats built to rescue people. Last year alone, the RNLI saved 269 lives and came to the aid of more than 10,000 individuals.

    Also on the show, we celebrate the CNC machine, talk kids’ paintings, and fall in love with a boat name.
