A Liverpool upcycler has been commissioned to take on a huge project transforming a city centre hotel.
Gemma Longworth, from Anfield, is an upcycler and presenter on Channel 4's Find it, Fix it, Flog it?, who has been given the mighty project of transforming furniture in 39 rooms of The Sir Thomas Hotel in the city centre. The 38-year-old said her friend put her name forward when the hotel was calling for people who could "revamp and rebrand" the hotel without getting rid of any of the furniture - and Gemma was the perfect fit.
Speaking to the ECHO, Gemma said: "It was very lucky. I think it was about being in the right place at the right time. I think because I had been on the TV show I got a little bit of notoriety and people know who I am and what I do.
