Graham Farrell was a Baldwin's Casuals client who placed a big order when the factory went over to manufacturing curtains in January 1988. The order was as much as the staff could handle but Mike got it out in time by doing a rush job and putting the girls on overtime. Impressed, Graham offered to put more work Mike's way and arranged a foursome with Mike and their partners - Graham's wife Linda and Mike's girlfriend Gloria Todd - and placed another order with Mike, admiring his assuredness that he could get the machinists to work whatever hours it took to get the order out.
