Sports Direct: Secrets of the Mega Sports Factory

The story behind the sporting-goods retailer established by Mike Ashley, a divisive figure who overcame retail corruption, workplace scandals and conflict with the City to become a high-street giant. Former staff tell stories from the shop floor, while an undercover reporter reveals what conditions were really like in the infamous Shirebrook warehouse. As Sports Direct has expanded, it has faced unprecedented challenges, and after buying House of Fraser, the programme asks if Ashley can turn that business around

Sports Direct: Secrets of the Mega Sports Factory airs on 5 +1 at 3:30 AM, Monday 29 June. (Subtitles, repeat.)
