The Kitchen Table

Synopsis

Vasco Haulage has nineteen trucks, forty employees and an office on the Old Dock Road with his father's name still on the glass. Nicky came home in March to run it, which everybody agreed was the right thing and about time. The office closes at six. What Nicky worked out in the second week is that the business does not. It continues at his mother's kitchen table, from half past seven, in a second ledger written in a hand he has known his entire life.

Who this is about

Nicky Vasco came home to run the family haulage firm and found that the actual business is conducted at his mother's kitchen table after the office closes.

What goes wrong

She has kept the second set of books for thirty years, and she would like to teach him.

What's at stake

Refusing means the firm closes, and forty people who have worked there their whole lives are out.

Why it keeps going

Each episode she explains one more thing that has always been true.

Takeaway

Nobody is handed the business. They are handed the arrangement the business was built on.
