BBC Radio 4 - Border Business, Episode 2

Declan Curry is in Fermanagh to visit the Belleek Pottery to hear a story of survival.

In the second programme in the series Declan Curry returns to Northern Ireland to visit the Belleek Pottery in County Fermanagh, a firm where survival is the watchword.

In the second and final part of this series, Declan Curry is back in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland to visit the Belleek Pottery in the village of Belleek. The factory is situated right on the border with the Republic of Ireland and as well as being a working pottery it has also become a tourist attraction.

However Belleek's continued success is not taken for granted. Established in the 1860s, its story is one of survival, with the recent economic downturn being the latest challenge to jobs and profits. Declan discovers that reinvention is the key to keeping a business going in one of the remotest parts of Northern Ireland.

Producer Claire Burgoyne.
