00:00This is not a game. This is a 12-week job interview. It's a dog-eat-dog situation.
00:13Fourteen people have come to London in search of a job.
00:18There is no phone-in here. There is no text number. There is no panel of judges.
00:24I'm the one that decides who gets fired, and I'm going to be the one, ultimately, who decides who gets hired.
00:33They've come to battle it out for a job with Sir Alan Sugar.
00:37I am the most belligerent person that you could ever come across.
00:41Tough and straight-talking, Sir Alan's built a business empire worth £800 million.
00:48Business is not about coming, piss my money up the wall.
00:51He's offering one job with a six-figure salary.
00:56To get it, they're going to have to live and work together.
01:00Don't fucking dick me around. I'm getting pissed off with it.
01:03Quite frankly, I'd like to get rid of the bleeding free of you.
01:06This is the ultimate job interview.
01:09You're fired. You are fired. You are lightweight. You're fired.
01:17Previously on The Apprentice.
01:19I really don't give a fuck anymore.
01:22Tensions were riding high in the house.
01:24We are here for a job.
01:26Do you know what? Everybody's stabbing every fucker in this house.
01:29Exactly, yeah.
01:29So what's the fucking problem?
01:31I am here for the job, nothing else.
01:32Competing. I know, we're competing.
01:33It's obvious that you've got the problem now.
01:35For the next task, Michelle and Dunn had their first stab at leadership,
01:40as Sir Alan sent the teams on a retail challenge.
01:43Topshop, Oxford Street.
01:45You couldn't get a better place for retailing.
01:47The candidates plunged into the world of high street fashion.
01:51Excellent.
01:53But Dunn's team sidelined their only fashion expert.
01:56If you're going to ask me something, please let me finish.
01:59That's definitely your colour. Definitely your colour.
02:02On the shop floor, Saeed went on a charm offensive to drive up sales.
02:06All right, just let me know when you're ready.
02:09And Sharon came under attack again.
02:12She's a moaning bitch.
02:15Have you got any other ideas of a...
02:17Can I just finish what I'm saying for one second?
02:19On Michelle's team, Samuel was responsible for marketing.
02:22Right up. Would you like a free bottle of water?
02:24Come on.
02:24Would you like a free bottle of water?
02:26Sure.
02:26His tactics didn't attract many customers.
02:30But Michelle failed to notice, and her team lost the task.
02:37In the boardroom, Sir Alan had a warning.
02:40There is only one job going here.
02:42So you better start thinking about yourselves.
02:45Because I'll tell you what, if any of you survive here,
02:47I'll promise you this.
02:49As sure as I've got a hole in my bloody arse, right?
02:51When it gets down to two of you,
02:52all these people that are saying nice things about you at the moment will not.
02:57But it was Samuel who'd finally tried Sir Alan's patience.
03:01Samuel, I've had enough of your excuses.
03:04I think you made a fatal error in the marketing.
03:07You're fired.
03:08Samuel became the seventh casualty of the boardroom.
03:14Now seven remain to fight for the chance to become the apprentice.
03:18At the house, the candidates wait to see who's coming back from the boardroom.
03:43Hello, Alan.
03:45Hello, Alan.
03:45Hello, Alan.
03:46Hi.
03:47Jesus.
03:48How are you?
03:50Well done.
03:51You're all right, girl?
03:53So what happened, guys?
03:55He made a mistake there.
03:56He pointed out today, he said,
03:58it's going to get nasty, you're going to get insults,
04:00because there's one job, and that's a fact.
04:02The candidates are having a lie-in.
04:16The candidates are having a lie-in.
04:28But they're about to get a wake-up call.
04:33But they're about to get a wake-up call.
04:33And they're about to get a wake-up call.
04:34And then the candidates are having a lie-in.
04:47And they're about to get up to the person, and they're about to get up to the people.
04:49And they're about to get up to the people, and they're about to get up to the people now.
04:50Sir Alan's at the front door.
04:55He runs out his table in the house.
04:57We're still in bed, the lot of you.
05:00Right, come on, hurry up.
05:13With just seven candidates left,
05:16Sir Alan's decided the time has come to get tough.
05:20The task we've got today, I would suggest one of the toughest tasks I have set,
05:29because it's going to sort the men out from the boys.
05:33I've got eight designers that have come up with their products.
05:37Later on today, you're going to go and see these eight designers,
05:41you're going to look at the products, you're going to choose two.
05:45And then you're going to go out and you're going to sell them to the trade.
05:48Not to the public, not on a stall somewhere, not in a shop.
05:52You are going to go and sell them to a trade buyer,
05:55because this is what I do and what I have done for the past 40 years of my life.
06:01That's why it's a tough task,
06:03because those people you're going to be talking to are real traders.
06:06Don't waste your time going to the Comets and the B&Qs and the Woolworths of this world,
06:10because those type of people normally take two to three months to make a decision.
06:15You've got two days.
06:18Okay?
06:18So you're going to have to go and see the independent dealer.
06:22It's going to be very simple.
06:24The team that has sold the most, billing-wise, is going to win,
06:28and the team that hasn't is going to lose.
06:30And as you know, one of you will get fired.
06:32And one thing I'll tell you, I'll look you all in the eye and tell you this,
06:37if it weren't for this ugly mush here,
06:39and people recognising me,
06:42I can do this.
06:44It can be done.
06:45And this is what my apprentice is going to be doing one day in the future.
06:49I think that's the first thing we need to establish with all of them.
07:05The teams have picked their project managers.
07:08Ruth will run Velocity.
07:10We need some wholesalers that are big, but are independent.
07:13Yeah.
07:13Because that's where we're going to sell our volume.
07:15The team that makes the most money from sales will be the winner.
07:18Saeed will lead Invicta.
07:20The task starts now.
07:22OK.
07:24Invicta won the last three tasks,
07:27but there's been mounting friction between Sharon and the boys.
07:30Whatever problems we have between us,
07:33can we just please put everything on hold until the end of this task?
07:35Because I need to know now.
07:36Because if I feel that people have been negative towards me,
07:40then I will definitely pull you up and I will speak to you.
07:44It's the reason why I've brought it up
07:45is because I'd rather deal with it now and get it out of the way.
07:47OK, that's what I'm saying,
07:49because every single task that I've worked on,
07:51people are negative even before they actually start the task.
07:53So I don't want any of that in this team.
07:54That's what I'm trying to angle at.
07:55The designers have been gathered in central London,
08:10keen to get their products into the shops.
08:13The candidates must get beyond the hype
08:15and select two products that will sell to retailers.
08:18The banana is actually quite cool.
08:20You sit in the middle,
08:22you move the banana as you like,
08:24and you just slide it.
08:26Just slide it.
08:31Yeah, demonstrate how it looks.
08:33This way.
08:34We took the inherent functionality
08:36and, like, graphical identity of the coat hanger
08:38and basically adapted it so it's wall-mounted.
08:41As well, for this, as you can see,
08:44it's how it works.
08:47Each product must be ready and available.
08:51I've got two chairs today
08:53and they're both using a new patented process.
08:58Are they stable and sturdy?
08:59Can they accept that?
08:59Yeah.
09:00I mean, this one, for example,
09:01it's the third prototype,
09:02but there's slight modifications I'd make to the design
09:05to make it a more robust piece.
09:08This feels very, very unsteady.
09:10Look at this.
09:11I don't think that's comfortable at all.
09:12It's digging into my back
09:13and I feel like I'm going to fall off it,
09:15which is a real shame
09:15because I think the designs are stunning.
09:18Sorry, I'm just going to really test this.
09:20Saeed's team are testing a 50s-inspired coat stand.
09:23Yeah, for sure.
09:27Good feel.
09:30But it's pricey.
09:31£180.
09:32I mean, I appreciate the design in that,
09:34but not £180 worth of appreciation.
09:37The interesting thing is
09:39we think that coat stands
09:40are really coming back into fashion.
09:42We are going to be in a really big article
09:44in the Sunday Times in a few weeks' time.
09:46In the style section.
09:47Yeah.
09:47The fact it's going to be in the Sunday Times
09:49in a few weeks for people buying.
09:50That's a...
09:51Brilliant.
09:52It's huge.
09:53Absolutely huge.
09:54Swayed by the designer's pitch,
09:56Ruth's team ignores the price tag
09:58and goes for the coat stand,
09:59the first of their two items.
10:01Thank you for selling your product.
10:03Cheers.
10:03Good luck.
10:05Their other choice,
10:06a light encased in concrete.
10:08And what is this particular product called
10:10so we can direct people to...
10:11It's called a light cubed,
10:13as in L-I-T-E,
10:14and a little mathematical three,
10:16as in cubed.
10:17Yeah.
10:18It's got on here a retail cost of £83.
10:21Yes.
10:21Is that per cube?
10:23That's per cube, yes.
10:24And have you been selling them at £83?
10:26Absolutely, yes.
10:27Really?
10:28Yes.
10:28My God.
10:29Okey-doke.
10:29Saeed's team are considering a multi-purpose storage unit called The Legible.
10:34It's just really a simple little way of storing things.
10:38You can use it in the bathroom,
10:41you can use it in the bedroom as a bedside table.
10:44You can basically use it, you know, wherever you want to.
10:46So what's your highest retail price that you sell this product for?
10:51About £55 each.
10:54Yeah.
10:55That's my favourite one.
10:56Oh, definitely.
10:57It's half the price of anything else.
10:59I love it.
10:59I could see me using that.
11:01Shall we just put the products on the table?
11:03Next up, a flow-controlled petrol can with a retail price of just £20.
11:09One of the main features of this product is its total control.
11:13OK.
11:13So there's no overfill and there's no spill.
11:16Those are the key features.
11:18I like that.
11:18I'm sorry.
11:19No overfill.
11:20And no spill.
11:21The scope that this has is just huge.
11:24Saeed is very obviously enjoying his role as project manager.
11:28He took the lead, he went through the same spiel each time.
11:31He does like the sound of his own voice.
11:33Because you don't need to know this, but I'm based with Invention.
11:35I've got two Inventions currently going through the patent office.
11:37OK.
11:38In the UK.
11:39Right.
11:39So I've done some research into this and I understand the market fairly well.
11:43But again, I need expert advice such as yourself.
11:46So I'm going to shut up now.
11:47Next question.
11:48Cheers.
11:49I think this is absolutely brilliant.
11:51Don't get me wrong.
11:53My job here is to play devil's advocate a lot of the time
11:56because obviously Saeed is massively optimistic.
11:58Sometimes I want to say, look, let's bring it back down.
12:00What can we do in the next 36 hours?
12:02I think I'm happy with the product selection because I like them.
12:06They are both high volume, low profit products.
12:09So I think tomorrow is going to be a frantic time for us to basically shift as many units as we can.
12:16The godsend would be the one big, super high volume order.
12:2010pm.
12:31Time to discuss tactics for the next day.
12:34Car dealerships, DIY.
12:36Saeed has split his team in two.
12:38He'll sell a petrol can with Dunn.
12:40Independent DIY shops.
12:41Mariners, boatyards, DIY shops.
12:45OK, now the big clients I'm going to go after, mate, just to clarify this is the AA.
12:49The RAC, Sainsbury's, and there was one other.
12:55So you're going to gun for a couple of big boys here?
12:57I'm going to gun for a couple of big boys, yeah, definitely.
12:58Right, because that's got our stuff on.
13:00Paul and Sharon team up to sell the shelves.
13:03We need to get a really nice, neat list.
13:05I'm going to type it up.
13:07My only concern with Paul is that Paul likes to take over everything
13:10and he doesn't like to let other people get a say in.
13:13Before 10 o'clock.
13:13So it's a case of me trying to make sure Paul realise that this is a team effort.
13:18So we get a list like that, white 60.
13:22I need Cole.
13:23Right.
13:25That is under control, believe me.
13:29I think I need Sharon to assist me, but I want to take lead.
13:33I want to start every one and close every one.
13:35What I don't want to do is get to the end of tomorrow night
13:37and think about the deals we've lost,
13:39because I know if there's anyone that can do it, it's me.
13:42There's nothing more annoying when you just want to take that.
13:48Nine o'clock.
13:58Shops and suppliers across London open for business.
14:04The teams have until 6.30 to get orders for their products from the trade.
14:09The team with orders of the highest value will be the winner.
14:12All I'm looking to do is spend, with the people that matter,
14:16really five minutes just showing them exactly what I want to do.
14:21Ruth's team have picked two products that can be sold to the same kind of outlet.
14:26Their plan is to split in two.
14:28Each half of the team will take both the lights and the coat stand on the road.
14:32I like the product. I think they've got to get the price stand on.
14:36OK.
14:37The girls will work south London, while Ansel heads north.
14:41Hello. You're the faraway trading company, is that correct?
14:45No.
14:46What's your name?
14:48OK.
14:49My name is Tara.
14:51Right, OK, scrap that.
14:52Each half of Saeed's team has taken one product.
15:02While Paul and Sharon try to shift the shelves,
15:05Dun and Saeed target garages with the fuel can.
15:09It's a new invention.
15:10The market's been screaming out for something like this.
15:12Now, we have orders coming left, right and centre.
15:16This is offering something to your customers that none of your competitors are offering.
15:21OK. This is the way forward for fuel cans.
15:24And when I show you what the product is, you will see exactly what I mean.
15:27I'm going to ram these things down to people's throats today.
15:32I just don't know if it's the best way to do it.
15:34That's the way I work, mate.
15:36What do you even grab what bag?
15:37Grab the blue bag.
15:39The designer has insisted the wholesale price for each fuel can must be no less than £7.50.
15:47What you've got is you take these two caps off, OK?
15:50Only when you press this, the fuel will come out, yeah?
15:53So you can control what you want out from there.
15:56There's not actually enough.
15:57Let me just fill it up again.
15:58It sells itself.
16:00That's what it does.
16:00It sells itself.
16:01You know, you leave it in the front.
16:02It sells itself, but...
16:03OK.
16:04OK.
16:05Not at all.
16:06Probably by £10 off you if you can do it cheap enough.
16:09£5 each.
16:12The prices we can do, the lowest we can do, £10...
16:15We can't go anywhere near £5, mate.
16:16We have a rock-bottom price.
16:19If we sell anything below that, we are making a loss.
16:21Obviously, which means I'll get sacked.
16:24So I'm sure you appreciate that.
16:27If I could take it down below £7.50, I would take it down.
16:30Because I'm here to sell.
16:31I'm not here to take this back with me, etc.
16:33So what I'm suggesting is we could do your budget, sell you £7, see how you go for £7.50,
16:39and that's the rock-bottom price.
16:40Then leave it.
16:42OK.
16:43Well, I guess that's what it'll have to be.
16:44I've made my decision already, yeah.
16:46Yeah.
16:47OK.
16:48All right, no problem at all.
16:52What a...
16:52Despite a warning from Sir Alan to avoid retail chains,
17:02Saeed is determined to chase a big-name store.
17:06All right, I'm just going to try some big players now,
17:08because this is the time to get in with the big players, early in the morning.
17:13What it is, I have a new, unique design and invention for a fuel can.
17:17I know, OK, that your buyer, if she hears about this product,
17:22she will scream out to speak to me.
17:24Reason being...
17:25The procedures for B&Q are you need to write with details of the product to the buying office.
17:30Is there no way for anyone to get through to the buyer and speak to her directly?
17:35There isn't, I'm afraid.
17:37And is that...
17:37OK.
17:38And that's the process.
17:40OK.
17:42Lovely.
17:42Thank you very much.
17:43Thanks for your time.
17:44That's OK.
17:44Bye-bye.
17:44Thanks.
17:44Bye-bye.
17:45Bye-bye.
17:45OK, well, I'm not letting her.
17:51Telling me what I can and can't do.
17:53No, there must be a way around this.
17:5911am.
18:00The other half of Saeed's team is in Islington,
18:03looking for boutique design shops to order the legible.
18:07Stay a loss.
18:15Her inspiration was basically initially a bedside table.
18:19She wanted a shelf unit which she could use for storage,
18:22as well as leaning things on so you can see the magazines fit in the back.
18:26Now, what Sharon's going to show you...
18:28Paul's price to the retailer is between £25 and £30,
18:32so they can sell it on for up to £60.
18:34Put the post off the floor and into the back.
18:37How much?
18:38How much would you think they recommended retail prices for one of these?
18:44£35.
18:45See, she's recommending the retail price between £55 and £60 each.
18:49Yeah.
18:50If we're selling £55 and we're paying her £30,
18:52by the time we've paid VAT we've got about a tenner out of it.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Which is OK if I'm going to shift to £100 a week.
18:58Yeah.
18:59But, you know, at that £55 pint...
19:03Because it's, you know, without being rude to the lady,
19:07it's bent metal.
19:13Oh, what a gorgeous smell.
19:17They're just so versatile.
19:19You can also put stuff on top of it as well.
19:21Air freshener, something like that behind,
19:23so you don't have to see it.
19:24Yeah.
19:24Candles also look great on here.
19:27My personal opinion is it would stick out like a sore thumb
19:30because it's so different to everything else that I do.
19:32I mean, they're only £25 each.
19:34Yes.
19:34I mean, we could give you £8 for £200.
19:36It's not really getting...
19:37It's stretching your budget that much.
19:39You get £8 in your store on a lovely display stand.
19:41It's £200 and you're going to bring £400 back in.
19:43I mean, do you want to take £8 today?
19:47I felt like he was a second-hand car salesman in his approach.
19:50Really, really quite kind of forceful.
19:52And I kind of thought, OK, it's fine,
19:54but I do all with that every day of the week
19:56when people say new things.
19:57And it's not the way in which you go about
20:01selling furniture to a retail store.
20:03The kind of people that work in here
20:04just need as though...
20:05They always look as though they need a right good kick up the arse.
20:07They know it's just like, get on with things,
20:09and, you know, they're always reading books
20:10and having coffee and eating croissants and stuff.
20:12And the problem is that most of these people
20:14can't make decisions even if they're actually allowed to.
20:19Of all the candidates,
20:21Ansel is the most experienced in sales.
20:25You've got a yellow flag thing outside, haven't you?
20:28He started out selling door-to-door
20:30and is now a senior sales manager.
20:32So Ruth's asked him to work his patch alone.
20:35And they're very unique,
20:36which is one of the main reasons
20:37that we actually look to take this product on.
20:40It's got some really good features.
20:43I'd like to set this piece up
20:45because it's quite striking.
20:46The minute I looked at it,
20:47I just thought, fantastic.
20:50What's your thoughts initially on those products?
20:52I really like these.
20:53We use a lot of stone.
20:54I noticed that.
20:57And so, yes, I would probably say we'd go for five.
21:01OK.
21:01Thank you very much.
21:03I think I could probably get you more orders on these
21:07because there's a shop and film
21:08that we're quite closely affiliated with
21:10that would be interested as well.
21:12Can I say,
21:12I've actually got some colleagues in South London
21:14and then I can give them a call.
21:16Sure.
21:16OK, fantastic.
21:17Thanks very much, Amanda.
21:23I've just sold five of the cluster stands.
21:26Oh, you're on the chair.
21:27And I've sold seven lights.
21:30That's it.
21:30So you've sold another five stands?
21:32Wicked.
21:32I need you two, you and Ruth,
21:34to get a pen and paper.
21:35I've got something that you can...
21:36I've got a lead for you.
21:41It's number 9 to 13, Fulham High Street.
21:45His name's Tony Johnston.
21:48You've got some lovely pieces in here, Tony.
21:51In fact, I think this is the best shop we've been.
21:54Now, this is a new contemporary, quite funky, cosmopolitan, minimalistic coat stand.
22:03Now, you can tell by the design that it's very chic and unique.
22:07It attracts the eye when you walk into the room.
22:09And they're retailing at £180.
22:12Right.
22:13OK.
22:13And what do you say they cost them?
22:15OK, wholesale.
22:16Obviously, the more you buy, the more we can move the margin down for you using the price.
22:20But if you're looking to buy a minimum of five, it's £75.
22:23It's a brilliant profit margin there.
22:26Yeah.
22:27It's quite contemporary, and it fits with my shop.
22:30So, I mean, I'd give it a go.
22:33Great.
22:33OK, Michelle, trust us.
22:34That's this.
22:35Michelle has no experience in sales and knows nothing about design.
22:40But Ruth's told her to get a trade price of £35 for each light.
22:44They can be used as general lighting, or they can be used as highlights.
22:48And we can just literally play around with these and stand them whichever way we want to.
22:53The concrete blocks, to me, they are literally just a concrete block with a light stuck in them.
22:57But you've got to be able to kind of see it as something that's quite, you know, a man-made natural product with its imperfections still intact and, you know, all that kind of bollocks, really.
23:08What do you mean if they get bashed?
23:09Yeah.
23:10I mean, if you're looking to spend £83 on a light, you don't want to keep it for two, three months.
23:15And over the period of time, it will slightly get knocked if you're going to move it around.
23:18It actually enhances the character of the light.
23:21Yeah, it just adds character, doesn't it?
23:23And because the colour grain is all the way through, that actually enhances that.
23:27Right.
23:28Well, realistically, because, you see, we're a furniture shop.
23:33I don't know very much about lighting.
23:36They're quite an expensive light.
23:38He took them to the Milan Furniture Fair and the Armani director bought enough lights to fill his apartment.
23:47We can give, we can give 20 a go.
23:50With orders for 27 lights and 12 coat stands, the girls and Ansel have clocked up over £1,500.
24:04With four hours to go, Saeed's team have only got £150 worth of orders for their fuel cans.
24:11Yeah, so that's, that's put up with, that's about two and a half litres in there at the moment.
24:14OK.
24:15All right?
24:15So, in, from a...
24:16Because it's a prototype, the finished product won't be rolling off the lines for another six months.
24:21With this one, all you're doing is you're pressing the button and you've got the delivery, stopping it whenever you like as well.
24:26So, it's complete control.
24:27This is going to be the future for fuel can systems from here in.
24:31They're easy to shift, Basil, and they're easy to make a good profit.
24:36It sounds very impressive.
24:38When you've got the finished product, I'd like to see them.
24:42And in probability, we would stop them.
24:45Fantastic.
24:46Now, there's only one little problem in that, and it could be a big problem.
24:49The only little problem is, Basil, as you know, as a businessman, we have one day to get the orders in today.
24:54Now, what I was suggesting is make a small commitment now, say 20 or 30.
25:01I mean, I grew up in East London.
25:02I've learned life the hard way.
25:04And one thing I can say here is you have got a very, very good product.
25:09I'll take a preliminary order of 10, and we'll look at it in due course.
25:13Fantastic.
25:13What I would suggest is you've been an absolute gentleman.
25:16No problem.
25:17We'll shake on that.
25:19Yeah.
25:19Thank you very much, sir.
25:20And it's been impressive doing business with you.
25:22I've learned a few things.
25:23I wish I could be as cool as you in business.
25:25No problem.
25:27Not content with small orders from garages, Said still has his sights set on a deal with a big retail chain.
25:34Do you know I've ever worked with?
25:35I'm sure you have.
25:36You know Jerry can.
25:37Do you know the red?
25:37Yeah.
25:38How inconvenient do you find them, honestly?
25:41I can try maybe Total or Texcure and give them a call and see if I can get through to head office.
25:46Okay, thanks for your help, mate.
25:49Cheers.
25:50Thanks, mate.
25:51Yeah, well, they're a big, big buyer.
25:53At some point, I want to go and pitch Sainsbury's in Holborn today.
25:58No way in hell is a buyer for a multinational company going to even give you the time of day.
26:06They think you're a nut for knocking on the door.
26:08Do you know, before you make such strong statements, I think you should really consider what you're saying.
26:13All my life, okay, at work, this is what we do.
26:15We deal with Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft.
26:17Why would they give me a time of the day?
26:20I'd call...
26:20On the phone, maybe, but I just think knocking on the door.
26:22See, that's what I'm trying to say.
26:23On the phone...
26:24No, I know.
26:25I mean, see, I'm not disagreeing.
26:25You just said we're going to go to High Hall and knock on the door.
26:28That's exactly what I'm saying.
26:29I said I do business on the phone.
26:30If you let me finish, I do business on the phone.
26:32Just give me a second, mate.
26:33Hold on.
26:34A few miles away, the other half of the team is following a new lead in South London.
26:40So far, Paul has been dominating the sales pitches.
26:44He's determined to stick to a high minimum order for their shelf units.
26:48Got to go for at least 16, and if not, we'll have to bring it down.
26:52Yeah, the main thing is we're not going to leave there without a sale.
26:56No way.
26:56So, you're going to give me a chance and get in there?
27:01If you're confident that you can do it, and on your head be it kind of thing.
27:08Hiya.
27:10Right, I'll just set it up.
27:11Just ignore me.
27:15They're quite good because houses are getting smaller these days, these new builds, that you're
27:20limited for space, aren't you?
27:22So, it's quite good.
27:23Which is the best seller?
27:26The matte black has been very popular in Denmark, and I think she expects it to be very popular
27:31here as well.
27:32I don't know.
27:41What's the minimum you take, giving me a vertical display stone?
27:45What's the minimum you would...
27:46Well, no, unless that was my question to you.
27:48The minimum, really, that we would be looking to order, erm, would be 12.
27:52Okay.
27:53Okay.
27:54I'll try 12.
27:55I'm just going to go and ring Anne.
27:56Are you going to pine out?
27:57That's me.
27:58That's me.
27:59That's me.
28:00That's me.
28:01That's me.
28:02Yeah, I've got...
28:03Yeah, she handled well.
28:04She's got a sale, so I'm really pleased for her.
28:05She's obviously quite happy about that.
28:06I've done much differently.
28:07I'd have said the minimum order was 16.
28:08That was the only difference I would have said.
28:09The deal's done now, and she's had a chance to do it, so as long as we don't lose by that
28:10amount, we'll be laughing.
28:11Okay.
28:124.30.
28:13Saeed's drawn a blank with big retailers, but he's just found a buyer for a fuel distributor.
28:15We've just done a pitch to a guy on the phone, someone I've been trying to track down all
28:28day.
28:29Okay.
28:30I've got him.
28:31He's placed a provision award of 100, but we need to go to his house to close the deal.
28:36Okay.
28:37So we're on the phone.
28:38I've got him.
28:39He's placed a provision award of 100, but we need to go to his house to close the deal.
28:43Okay.
28:44So we're on the way now to close the deal.
28:47Now, personally, I think I'll push him up to 150.
28:50Leave that to me.
28:51All right, mate.
28:52Well, don't fuck it up.
28:53Yes!
29:00With 90 minutes to go, Ruth's team have tracked down the head buyer of a chain of nine design
29:06stores, and he's keen to see the coat stand.
29:10We've got a nine-store fucking department store room.
29:13Hi, Lee.
29:14Hi.
29:15Hello.
29:16Oh, Ian.
29:17Michelle Dubry.
29:18Hi.
29:19I'm Ruth.
29:20Pleased to meet you.
29:21Thank you ever so much for seeing us today, especially at this time.
29:23You can see how easy it is to set up.
29:25We've been doing it all day, so we've got quite a knack.
29:29Where is he selling this now?
29:32On the internet only.
29:33Right.
29:34He's only selling it on the internet.
29:35And how successful has he been with it?
29:36He's been very successful.
29:38In two weeks' time, the Sunday Times are actually doing an article on it in their Star magazine.
29:44Right.
29:455.30.
29:48The candidates are under instruction from Sir Alan to deliver their order books to Nick
29:53and Margaret in one hour, in Islington.
29:56Said is ten miles away, heading in the other direction.
30:00We are five minutes, well, we're about ten minutes away from meeting our guy to close
30:05this deal.
30:06We just spoke to him.
30:07Everything's looking very positive.
30:08We've got ten minutes to close the deal.
30:09Get out and head back so that we can get to Islington and meet you guys there.
30:13All right, mate.
30:14We'll fly out the wind.
30:15If we clinch this, we'll beat them at the last minute.
30:18Let's go.
30:19Dying for a leak.
30:25173, 171.
30:26It's going to have to be up like that, isn't it?
30:29Where's 172?
30:31175.
30:34177.
30:35This is bizarre.
30:37That's 177, this one.
30:38Where's 172?
30:41As the minutes tick away, Ruth tries to close her final deal of the day.
30:46Now, their recommended retail price and what they're selling on the internet is 180.
30:50Yeah, but how much is he selling?
30:51Don't know.
30:52I can get that information.
30:53If you sell one a week at 180 pounds, it doesn't mean anything, does it?
30:56Yeah.
30:57If you sell one a week at 95 pounds, then that's a much better deal.
31:00Well, Heather, from your experience, if one of our customers walks in here and looked at
31:03that and said, that's nice, and then was told it was 180 pounds.
31:05Well, probably not much interest, unfortunately.
31:08So what sort of price are you looking for?
31:10I'm not talking about any orders today.
31:12What I'm talking about today is if he wants to put nine in the nine stores we've got,
31:15we'll put them in the stores.
31:16Right.
31:17If next week loads of customers come in and we've sold 20, he'll get an order for 20.
31:21Yeah.
31:22But are you going to look at placing an initial order today with us?
31:24No.
31:25Not until I know whether it sells or not.
31:26Right, okay.
31:27So what you're looking for, basically, is for him to supply?
31:29I'm giving him the opportunity of floor space in my nine stores.
31:33Right, okay.
31:34So every single retailer we've gone to today, every single one has bought.
31:39Well, good luck to them, but that's not the way I'm not going to do that.
31:42Okay.
31:51Waste of...
31:52What an absolute...
31:53Wanker.
31:54...crat.
31:57I said we even got our lipstick on for him and he was minging.
32:01Hello.
32:02How are you doing?
32:03Sorry.
32:04Nice to meet you.
32:05If you tip it right over now, you still get no leakage at all.
32:0740 minutes before the deadline, Said and Dunn finally track down their buy.
32:12If you release it again.
32:13Yes.
32:14So it's really controlled.
32:15And you see the key thing with this is you don't get any gurgling.
32:18Yeah.
32:19Which is the one thing that causes splashbacks, fuel down your trousers, a lot.
32:23A maximum flow, as Said mentioned before, 5 litres in 12 seconds.
32:28And again, to be totally honest, I think this will be, in the future, this will be...
32:32You know, the fuel power of the future.
32:36What I'm thinking is if we start at 200, what we can do is knock the price down to £9.
32:41And the final figure here is...
32:43Mate, what is this?
32:44Is 1,800, is it?
32:45Yeah.
32:46Yeah.
32:47But then what you're getting is 200 units, which would have cost you £2,000.
32:52So you're making a saving of £200 there.
32:54OK.
32:55OK.
32:56Now, if we...
32:57Again, if you wanted to go for, say, £250.
32:59Yeah.
33:00OK.
33:01We could do them at £8.
33:02Yeah.
33:03But then your cost would be £2,000.
33:05OK.
33:06Let's do £250.
33:07Don't let £250 stop you.
33:09Yeah.
33:10I mean, if you want to...
33:11If you seem to want to pay with bigger numbers...
33:13If we went up to £300, OK, we could maybe look at reducing the cost to £7.50.
33:18If you do £7, I'll take £300.
33:19We can't do £7 because our rock bottom is £750.
33:21Let's do £7.25.
33:22Steve, I would love to...
33:24Do you know why?
33:25Because you're a fantastic person.
33:26I'd love to negotiate.
33:27It's just that our rock bottom is...
33:28We will...
33:29I'll be...
33:30They've just said to us £750, that's it.
33:31It's rock bottom.
33:32And you've literally...
33:33That is our rock bottom.
33:34£750.
33:35OK.
33:36I'll...
33:37OK.
33:38Fantastic.
33:39You have £300 at £750.
33:40Yeah.
33:41That's £2,250.
33:42Yeah, that's fine.
33:43That's good.
33:44I mean, we've not come across anybody today, which is quite...
33:46£900.
33:47£300, son.
33:48We just sold £300.
33:49We just made £2,200.
33:50£2,250.
33:51£2,250.
33:52Nice one, mate.
33:54I went for the jugular.
33:55I went for £200.
33:56Dun went for £250.
33:57And I just went for the slam dunk at £300.
34:00Are you heading back?
34:01Yeah, I'm heading back.
34:02I can't wait.
34:03Are you going to be here on time?
34:04It's all in hand, mate.
34:05It's all in hand.
34:126.25.
34:13Ruth's team make it to Islington, where Nick and Margaret wait for the order books.
34:20Hello.
34:21Hello, Velocity.
34:22Hello.
34:23Hello.
34:24First in?
34:25Yeah.
34:30So we can get here on time.
34:31Hiya.
34:32Half.
34:33Half of Invictus.
34:34Everyone is back.
34:35Except Dun and Sahin.
34:36There's nothing more we could do.
34:37There's nothing more we could do.
34:38You were a fucking soldier.
34:39We were just done, weren't we?
34:40You were a soldier today.
34:41And that's exactly what I needed.
34:42I needed a soldier.
34:43Are the other team there?
34:44Yeah, everyone's here, apart from you.
34:45Twenty past.
34:46They said they were 15 minutes away.
34:47Unfortunate.
34:48No, don't look stressed, mate.
34:49You're fine.
34:50Look normal.
34:51You're fine.
34:52Yeah.
34:53It's the, uh, I don't see you at all.
34:54Yeah, it's the, uh…
34:55I'm fine.
34:56…so…
34:57As you were, are you, Mayor?
34:58Yeah, everyone's here, apart from you.
35:00Twenty past.
35:02I said they were 15 minutes away.
35:04Unfortunate.
35:05Yeah.
35:06Don't look stressed, mate.
35:07Don't look at me, you're fine.
35:08Look they're normal.
35:11Yeah, it's the, um…
35:12No, don't look stressed mate, you're fine, look normal.
35:20Yes, there was a major accident, they had to shut down all the roads.
35:25Absolute nightmare.
35:26OK, you'll find out the result in the boardroom.
35:42After a night's sleep, Saeed's team are concerned they'll be penalised for missing the deadline.
35:53There was a timeline, we had to abide by it, the other team had to abide by it,
35:57so why should we bend the rules for two other members of our team?
36:00And yeah, it pissed both me and Paul off.
36:03I was really disappointed they didn't get back and also disappointed with the usual Saeed answers
36:07that we're going to be five minutes or ten minutes off the traffic.
36:09I mean, just tell the truth just for once, just put your hand up and say I'm fucked up, I'm late.
36:14And that's just the usual bullshit and it just gets a bit tiring after a while.
36:22If I was trading in real life, then I would go until the latest time possible
36:26and not worry about running across London to hand the papers in.
36:30The key thing is that, you know, we got the deal
36:33and that's what we're going to be measured on, who makes the most money,
36:36and that's exactly what we did.
36:39Eight weeks ago, these seven left their jobs for a chance to become Sir Alan's apprentice.
36:57Today, one will be sent home.
37:00You can go through to the boardroom now.
37:07Of course, yeah, let's be quiet.
37:09Good morning.
37:10Good morning, Sir Alan.
37:11Good morning, Sir Alan.
37:16Now, before we get going, I've got a problem. I've got a problem with you lot coming back late.
37:31If I was given the opportunity to do it again, I would do it again. So I went for the sale. But I must admit, there was an accident on the way.
37:38It's beside the point. You were late. But there's going to have to be a penalty.
37:42OK, well, I mean, that's your opinion. I mean, I...
37:45Well, it's not my opinion. It's realistic.
37:47Let me give you an example, Sir, of something in the real world that happened to me.
37:50My company was trying to buy a very, very big property deal owned by the government. My company was told we have to have our tenders in at five o'clock.
38:01OK. Now, what happened was some bloody motorbike rider, who was going to have to buy a very, very big property deal owned by the government.
38:10My company was told we have to have our tenders in at five o'clock. OK.
38:15Now, what happened was some bloody motorbike rider decided to stop off and have a cup of coffee in Starbucks and delivered the bloody envelope at 5.15.
38:26We didn't get that deal. And my people spent weeks and weeks of due diligence. All of it went down the drain. OK.
38:34Now, needless to say, the motorbike firm we don't use anymore and the motorbike rider is, to say the least, on his bloody bike.
38:42I wish I could do the same to the accident that happened on the way, Sir.
38:45Well, accident, I don't care about accidents. You know, I don't care about accident. It's planning. It's planning.
38:50I put my hand up to the blame. I went for the sell. I closed the deal. And yes, we were late.
38:55Said, Said, forget about deals at the moment. You and Dunn did four deals.
39:01So what I'm going to do is take your total sales of those four deals and divide it by four. That's your penalty. 25%.
39:11So, Margaret, would you read out, please, for me, what the total sales is of Invicta?
39:17Well, the total sales of Invicta before the penalty are £3,840. The penalty is £700, making £3,140.
39:34Right. Can you read out what happened with Velocity?
39:38Velocity, open six accounts and sold stock in to the value of £3,237.50.
39:49Right. Well, well done. You've won.
39:55You open six new accounts, right, and for me as a manufacturer, that rings my bells.
40:01Six new punters. Not so much the quantity and the volume you've sold. You've given me six new outlets to sell to.
40:06OK. So on the basis of that, I've booked a great treat for you. I've got you into a luxury spa where you're going to be pampered.
40:13You're going to get facials, massages, treatments, the whole works.
40:18So very, very well done. Thank you.
40:20Off you go, all of you. I'll see you lot back in the boardroom shortly.
40:24Off you go, all of you. I'll see you shortly.
40:31Good luck.
40:33I'm very glad you're taking me.
40:35Good luck.
40:36Yeah.
40:37Get your nap.
40:38How it happened.
41:06I'm in heaven. In a word, heaven.
41:10A stress-buster facial. It is perfect.
41:29While Ruth's team relax, Saeed rehearses his excuses.
41:35Two and a half hours to get from North London to Lewisham and back.
41:40I mean, on a normal day, that's very realistic. An hour and a half.
41:46Yeah.
41:476.30 is a deadline. Whether or not he says it in the dossier or anything.
41:49If you go down the line, he's going to take it to a place called Chinatown.
41:52He's going to absolutely rip the fuck out of you if you start saying that.
41:55Yeah.
41:56I think, obviously, you can look at the fuck up to be Saeed.
42:00But not just for being late. Just for sort of, like, the way your project managed anyway.
42:05You know, if I've made a decision, I'll stick by it. And when I go back in there, I will stick by my decision.
42:09I would make that call again and again and again. Two and a half hours is more than enough time.
42:14I grew up in East London and I'll put my heart in an eye for that. Two and a half hours is more than enough time to get there and back.
42:23I think Saeed's going to be fired. The crucial error was going for this last deal, which made us late.
42:28That's what's lost us the task and he's responsible for it.
42:32We will see. We'll see. We'll see what happens.
42:35I'm feeling confident, but anything can happen in the boardroom.
42:38And to be totally honest, if Sir Alan fires me, it's his loss.
42:41Hello.
43:00OK, Jenny, would you let the four of them in, please?
43:03Yes, sir.
43:05OK, Paul, what did you do on this task?
43:22Planned out the date logistically on where we were going to go and how we were going to hit places.
43:26And then the next day, led the first two sales, managed to bump the price up of the actual unit.
43:32It was meant to be 25. We got them for 30.
43:34Was you the main salesman on your team?
43:37Yeah, definitely.
43:38Your mini team is what I'm talking about.
43:40Yeah, definitely.
43:41And I'll come to you when I'm ready.
43:45Do you think that your sales techniques were the right ones to adopt?
43:50Because I had a bit of feedback from a couple of people you spoke to who thought you were a bit too aggressive.
43:54I didn't mean to come across as aggressive, but I just basically was conscious of getting at least some units out there.
43:59The nicey-nicey designer people that we're dealing with aren't the kind of people I deal with on a regular basis.
44:03Is that more your forte, talking to all these nicely, nicely, softly, softly people?
44:08Did you sell any?
44:09Yes, I did sell some, Sir Alan, and I have to say that on one occasion, Paul was quite aggressive.
44:15So, Alan, I asked Paul for feedback on his mini team yesterday, and the feedback that I got was, and this is the honest feedback that Paul gave me was, very nice throughout the day, did one, closed, and then Paul had to do all the rest.
44:28Sharon closed one deal with three, sorry, with eight units. Sorry.
44:33Sharon sold the last one with twelve.
44:34Twelve units, sorry.
44:35And to be fair to Sharon, she did well there. The only mistake that she would have made is she should have said the minimum order is sixteen, and she said twelve.
44:41And he closed on that. He was going to buy anyway.
44:43My impression of you is he's a bit of a backroom bloke, you know, the number two, the support man, and not really someone who's in the front.
44:54For a living, I sell products, but in a softer way. I'm not a hard, aggressive salesperson. I can be. By all means, I can be. But this team doesn't need another hard salesman.
45:04What it needs is somebody that knows, that can plan logistics. What it needed was somebody that was aware of the financial tracking.
45:10What it needed was somebody who knew the new can inside and out. What it needed is somebody...
45:15So you're a bit of a technical expert, really, do you think?
45:17Well, you can call me a technical team, again, if you like. But in this scenario, had I not done that, I think we would have been in even more trouble than we were.
45:25You're saying that he wouldn't have sold any unless you were there.
45:28No, I'm saying we wouldn't have sold the volume that we did without that. I'm saying we wouldn't have secured three hundred orders.
45:33I disagree, because...
45:34We wouldn't have got an order of three hundred units...
45:36You supported me, mate, and listen, I'm not taking...
45:38Without me there.
45:39Dunn, Dunn, Dunn is very, very good at planning. And every salesperson, every...
45:43Don't want a planner.
45:44Well, that's for you to decide, Sarely. I mean, I would agree with you, but that's not...
45:47Are you a planner?
45:48I'm a salesman as well. What I'm saying is, it's hard enough to...
45:51Portfolio of skills, in my words.
45:53Yeah, and I've got that.
45:54You have?
45:55Yeah, I've got that.
45:56I can sell, and I can also plan.
45:57The front line...
45:58This man can sell, can he plan?
46:00Can he plan?
46:01No, because every decision that Saeed was looking for, Paul made a decision...
46:06Am I talking to you? Sorry.
46:08Saeed asked Paul's advice on every decision that was made in this task, and I would say
46:12Paul was more of a project manager than Saeed.
46:15The last three tasks, you've closed two deals. Do you know how many are closed?
46:17Saeed, I wouldn't want to do business with you, because I think you're...
46:19Nor would I.
46:20You would piss off my customer...
46:21I think, to be honest, you have not spent a minute in the real business world.
46:25You'd be eaten up alive, and that's the fact.
46:27And the last three tasks, I have been top performer in every single one, top salesman
46:32in every single one.
46:33I think, if you're after a top performer, you're looking at a top performer.
46:36If you're after someone to manage Disneyland...
46:38You're not modest, then, in any way, are you?
46:40No, this is the way I am, and that's not going to change.
46:43Do you think people generally amongst the teams, you know, think much of you?
46:48Okay, well, I'm not here to make friends and play happy families, and that's exactly what's
46:51happening in the house.
46:52Secondly, Sir Alan, to be totally honest, if you look at every single task, okay, I have
46:56performed, and if you're looking for a performer, I am that person.
47:00Secondly, when you said the task was to trade, take it to the trader and sell, that's exactly
47:05what I did.
47:06You're telling me how you're the greatest, and this, that, and the other, and all the
47:09rest of them are tossers, right?
47:10There are people in my team that I respect, Sir Alan.
47:12Who do you respect?
47:13Paul.
47:14Absolutely.
47:15You don't respect Dunn?
47:16Twice.
47:17I respect Dunn.
47:18I think Dunn's a good planner.
47:19Well, Syed, you tell me who you're bringing back in this boardroom with you, then.
47:23Sharon and Dunn.
47:24Okay.
47:25All right.
47:26Off you go.
47:27Paul, back to the house.
47:29We'll see you a little bit later.
47:32See you soon.
47:33I think Dunn was just trailing along behind Syed.
47:39We need to find out a bit more about this Dunn, really.
47:42He comes up with all these cliches, and I want to know what he does, really.
47:45I mean, Syed clearly is a salesman, and Sharon, well, she doesn't stop whinging, and of course,
47:52at the end of the day, I've got to give someone a job.
47:55You've got the whinger, the whinger, the liar, and the planner.
47:56The whinger, liar, and planner, yeah.
47:58The whinger, liar, and planner, yeah.
48:00Clearly is a salesman
48:02And Sharon well, I mean she don't stop whinging and of course at the end of the day
48:09I've got to give someone a job
48:11The whinger the whinger the liar and the planner the whinger liar and planner. Yeah
48:30Get through to the boardroom. Thank you
48:53Right
48:55Don listen to side's appraisal of you as the planner. Do you found yourself a bit of a patsy?
49:03No, not at all. I think I serve a purpose within any task and team
49:07I feel the role that people don't want to fill I'm not you are the patsy then I'm not here
49:13Feel the role that people don't want to fill
49:15Said is hard enough to rein in when we're working together on a team
49:19Okay, you give him the authority of a project manager as well. I stand no hope
49:24Numerous times. We've made the agreement for me the lead in negotiation
49:27Sayy takes over do you think is a patsy? I think I won't use the words perhaps. I think is it yes
49:33I think is a planner and a very good plan. I appreciate that
49:36The two situations that I took over the only reason why I took over two deals was slipping
49:41I had to close them see I don't see I don't see anything from you doing actually you've been fortunate to be in winning teams
49:47I don't think I've been fortunate in being in winning teams
49:50I think I've contributed to the success of the team and what we were doing within this task for me is
49:55Do we need to have four people running off in all directions or do we need three people running off in directions?
50:00And one person may be reining them in and redirecting
50:03What was you read what was you doing then? We were just making crucial decisions
50:06Do we go and knock on Sainsbury's head office door, but I told you not to knock on Sainsbury's and I'm supporting that
50:11I didn't want to go who did so I don't I wanted to push the boundaries
50:15I mean one thing I've learnt with sales is you know, you never know you never know
50:18I mean I told you before that the greatest salesman in the world is not going to sell something to Sainsbury's in a day
50:25Well, it ain't gonna happen. I found that out. That's why I didn't do that
50:28I told you I had to learn by my point. What's the point of me telling you?
50:33Tell me I want to know about this 300 can deal I
50:37Had a lead that was chasing from the night before got through got him on the phone
50:41And I just generated interest. I just told him exactly what I was selling
50:45He said to me do you know what? I'll buy 100 off you right now when we got there together as a team when we left
50:49I said we've got to be very mindful of time is now half past four
50:52We've got to half past six if we go this will be the only deal we do we're going on the promise
50:57Yeah, a verbal promise of 100 units. Yes
51:00I said we need to sell more than that because we can use that two and a half hours in other places
51:05Selling smaller volume units, but making up what we were sounds a very very true
51:09You haven't added a little bit of VAT to that story
51:11No, not at all. That was 100% accurate
51:13Basically, we got there was a team effort. I took it from 100 to 250
51:16Dune came in and said why 250 let's go for hire. I closed them at 300
51:21Sir Alan, it was a team effort. I led the negotiations and we closed it
51:25Sounds like a good deal. Yes, it was a very good deal
51:28It was one that made a good deal. Why shouldn't I fire you Sharon?
51:31You shouldn't fire me because the customers that I get you will be long-term customers that will come back and reorder
51:37And I'll make you more money than this aggressive sales technique
51:40Tell me, are you naive Sharon really about business? Are you really naive?
51:45I mean looking at your CV and your work experience
51:48You've been a lecturer, you've been a teacher, Scottish baby clothes
51:51Responsibility for service and they're all nicey, nicey stuff
51:56You know, yeah, I'm not I'm not not knocking it really, you know, there some companies need that type of thing, but you know
52:02I don't actually I personally think if there was a you know in Disneyland, you'd make a very good manager
52:08But unfortunately, I'm being totally honest
52:11You know you run a baby business. That's you know, that's good. Does Sharon have rails all the time done?
52:16I think Sharon's
52:18Response to decisions where she doesn't agree with them. Maybe sometimes is inappropriate. What's that mean?
52:23Can you say that in English if she doesn't like what happens there is an element of sulking for want of a better phrase?
52:30You know, what worries me is that have I got the time for this?
52:34Have I got the time to have someone in my organization who is so ultra-sensitive about
52:40Everything this one says and that one says have I got the time for this?
52:43I don't think after I know I don't think I'm ultra self-sensitive
52:47I just think that the boys are playing a very clever game in this
52:50I accept that possibly and to use his analogy there are other businesses like Disney World where perhaps a different culture
52:58May have to exist. This is not the culture of Sir Alan Sugar's companies. I'm afraid to say
53:03It's a tough environment out there
53:05So you tell me have you got anything else in you other than this nice what I call teacher style
53:11Of course I have sir Alan I have sold to business across the world of export cheese
53:15Of course I can do the hard sell. I don't need to piss people off and be aggressive and bully people and I can represent you in the best way possible
53:22And I'm going to work well as a team player
53:26Done who should go out of these two people because we failed the task and because we are sat here
53:32Because of the fact that we were late. It's got to be side
53:35Sharon no point asking you I suppose and side I'd say Sharon
53:41So if you're off for a performer, that's what I am. So we certainly a performer. That's for sure
53:50Said
53:52So I respect shut up. I'm talking
53:57Your teammates think it's your fault they put it down to being late
54:02You're self-promoting you tend to repeat everything that I say so as to try and make yourself look good
54:08But on the other hand you did sell some good stuff this time and you are a salesman
54:14That's why I'm struggling with at the moment in the shut up
54:21Sharon I understand your reasoning about how you think sales and business could be run
54:26But the fact is and I don't think this is your environment to be perfectly honest with you
54:30Done my concern about you was that you don't seem to do anything
54:37People seem to see you as the kind of the backroom bloke push him over there and get on with it. I
54:43Have a perception of you it may be wrong
54:46It may be wrong and I might be making a mistake. I might be making a mistake
54:54My decision is
54:56Sharon you're five
55:04All right, thank you. Thank you
55:16Good luck
55:18I get to go and see my family. You do get to go and see your boy. Good luck. I ain't get an arrogant wanker, but good luck
55:33I'm just about to say I was just about to say you're a great person Sharon you are. It's great. I'm going out to see you this
55:38Yeah, okay. All right. Take care
55:48I
56:07Think Sun Island fired me because I thought I was too nice for business and I
56:12I totally disagree with that to be honest. I think Sun Island's made a big mistake because side as a liar
56:17He will cause quite a lot of problems in his business
56:20It probably annoyed quite a lot of staff and turn off a lot of buyers
56:24But at the end of the days went for a bit for a bit of force rather than the long-term approach and I think he's made the
56:30wrong decisions, but then did the
56:33Actions that I was problem not me
56:35One job now six candidates
56:42Sir Alan search for his apprentice continues

57:16Do you want anywhere?
