Podcast: Manufacturing a four-day week

Mark Massetti is the eccentric Managing Director of Northamptonshire-based manufacturer Watford Control. After a reseller agreement led to Mark and a small group of investors buying the business, Mark began to look at how he could bring an aging business into the modern age.

In this episode, Jonathan Moules speaks to Mark about how he has expanded Watford Control’s international presence, implemented a four-day working week as a manufacturer, and some of the steps he’s taken to cement staff retention.
