The Biggest Smallest Car Company

We meet the workers behind the two Mini factories that run 24/7, producing nearly 1,000 cars a day.

Everyone loves the Mini, but the iconic car company is not just a job for the thousands of people who work there, it’s a way of life. Highly skilled workers make around 1,000 cars a day across two factories in Swindon and Oxford. We’ll see the car being built from the ground up, from the steel plates being made into body parts in the press shop, to the multitude of colours in paint shop to final checks.

Along the way, we’ll meet generations of the same family who work at the plants, and learn how the company has given opportunities and careers to thousands.
