On Gap Finders this week, we hear from the founder of Finisterre, Tom Kay. His company makes outdoor clothing with an emphasis on sustainability.
In 2003, the former chartered surveyor and keen surfer saw a gap for gear that's more suited to Cornwall's Atlantic coast than the "bikinis and board shorts" he was seeing in surfing magazines.
The business he built from scratch now employs 150 people at its headquarters on the Cornish coast and has 10 stores.
He tells us about the company's push to be as green as it can (is it possible to recycle a wetsuit?) and what the future holds for the business.
