00:00This is not about a job anymore. I'm the investor, and you are going to make me some money.
00:09Heading to London, 16 potential business partners, all keen to kick-start a company.
00:17Don't try and hide, because, you know, we're not playing where's Wally here.
00:22I'm not looking for Lord Lucan. I'm looking for somebody who's going to show me that they have
00:27got the business acumen to be my partner. On offer, a 50-50 deal with the nation's most
00:34demanding investor. That first few lines there, to me, was you digging a bloody great big hole.
00:42Willing to bankroll new business in tough times, Lord Sugar is on the hunt for one winning partnership.
00:49Basic business principles went right down the drain on this thing. We should have all known better.
00:54Stop the car. It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:58That's not fair. Like, we're taking it in turns. She needs to cop onto herself.
01:0216 candidates. It's way outside the box. It's way outside the box.
01:06Go, go, go, go, go. 12 tough weeks.
01:10Where am I going? One life-changing opportunity.
01:14You're fired. You're fired. This is my boardroom, and by the way, this is my money. You're fired.
01:20The task today is all about making a new condiment.
01:36The team's got saucy with mixed results.
01:41Can I suggest we taste it?
01:42Dwayne's chutney bit back.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:48Something's got right. Something's missing.
01:51And Katie's ketchup cost a lot.
01:54The recommended retail price for that is £3.99. We definitely couldn't do it for £1.95.
01:59We're left with 23 bowls.
02:01What? Left?
02:03In the boardroom, chutney was champ.
02:05And a third loss for Katie left plenty on her plate.
02:10What is this?
02:10I can't see a lorry driver in the greasy spoon asking,
02:14Harry, pass us the Bellissimo.
02:16It's never made crystal clear to us what our target market was.
02:19Ricky spread the blame.
02:21You under-delivered. You absolutely under-delivered.
02:22You sold rubbish figures.
02:24It was very hard to sell at the prices that we were given.
02:26But it was Michael who failed to cut the mustard.
02:29Do you think you're at your depth?
02:30Not at all. Not at all.
02:32Well, I don't know what you were doing, really.
02:34You're fired. Thank you for the opportunity, Lord Sugar.
02:36He became the third casualty of the boardroom.
02:40Now 13 remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
02:53Bayswater, West London.
02:59For the candidates, a morning off.
03:04Bayswater, West London.
03:07Go on, let's go!
03:09Maybe Lord Sugar fans are getting a ping-pong.
03:13Good morning.
03:14This is Lord Sugar's office.
03:16Lord Sugar would like you to meet him at the Old Cinema in Chiswick.
03:20The car will be with you in 30 minutes.
03:22OK, thank you.
03:24Old Cinema in Chiswick.
03:25The car will pick us up in 30 minutes.
03:27Go, go, go!
03:28Go, go, go!
03:29Welcome to cinema, I feel for some reason that it might be about the advert.
03:37Yep.
03:38See, it's an old cinema.
03:40So it's actually functional.
03:41Let's face it, we're going to be producing our own trailer, aren't we boys?
03:50Everyone are tasks, they think they're at the top.
03:52Do we think they're taking it seriously?
03:54Dwayne and Nick needs a little bit of bringing back down to Earth, don't they?
03:58People who maybe weren't working their hardest have actually been fired.
04:02I don't think everyone's pulling the weight, I don't think everybody's contributing.
04:05I think there may be a few people I'd like to see get exposed, if I'm honest.
04:13Chiswick.
04:19A converted cinema packed with vintage furniture and high-end second-hand goods.
04:28Good afternoon.
04:47Good afternoon, Moshira.
04:49Now there's a famous saying, one man's junk is another man's treasure.
04:54You know, there's been the rag and bone man, the car boot sales, we've got the charity shops.
05:00All of these people make money by taking things that people discard and they make it into something that someone wants to buy.
05:09That's what this task is all about.
05:11You're going to have to source your second-hand stock and then you're going to sell it to the public.
05:16So, what I've laid on for you is a couple of shops in the east end of London, where this kind of retro stuff is selling in big volume.
05:25Yeah?
05:26So, I'm going to mix the teams up a little bit more here.
05:30Ricky, you go to Stirling and Jade, you go to Phoenix.
05:34The team that makes the most amount of profit will win and in the losing team, one of you will be fired.
05:43OK, anything clear?
05:46Yes.
05:47Well, good luck.
05:48I'll see you back in the boardroom in a few days' time, yeah?
05:50Off you go.
05:54Worth over £2 billion a year, the UK's market for second-hand goods is on the up.
06:01From genuine antiques to repurposed scrap.
06:04What can you do with these? Can you put them in like...
06:06I think people just put them on the wall.
06:08There's plenty of profit in pre-owned goods.
06:11600 quid.
06:13And refurbishing or upcycling old items can add big mark-ups.
06:18Bins are quite books.
06:19If we can buy a bin, we can funk it up to make a funky bin.
06:24Both teams have £1,000 and two days to source and sell on second-hand stock.
06:32But first, new leaders are needed.
06:35Bidding to repeat last week's win, drinks distributor Dwayne.
06:39I would put myself forward as project manager again because ultimately it's buying and selling.
06:43I think if we can all apply logics to it, we can get this task one.
06:45I wouldn't mind putting myself forward for project manager purely because I have started up a retail unit before.
06:57Right, OK. Who votes for myself?
06:59Thanks, guys.
07:00Who votes for Laura?
07:01I vote for Laura because you've set up a retail unit.
07:02Yeah, yeah.
07:03That's cool.
07:04That's it then, yeah.
07:05OK.
07:06OK, fantastic.
07:07Guys, thank you very much.
07:08OK.
07:09Being an attractive businesswoman can have its ups and downs, but people shouldn't be fooled by that because I have also been described as a Rottweiler in the past.
07:14The type of area in London, we are brick loaned, it's a very kind of trendy area. People are going to be very judgmental on the way the shop looks, the sort of items you get in there.
07:32Heading up the other team, fine wine investor Tom.
07:35I'm only 23 years old. The thing that's very special about me is I'm a very well-rounded individual. My leadership style is quite laid back.
07:42You'd be foolish to go into any situation thinking you're going to agree with everyone about what they think. How you deal with them is the most important thing.
07:49Are we going for less is more? Are we going for minimalistic? Are we going for fill it high, sell it cheap?
07:54In terms of strategy for buying, we've got £1,000.
07:57But I want quality over quantity.
07:59We could just buy five items here and try and make an absolute fortune.
08:03Yeah.
08:04The idea is to spend as little as possible and there's no point in starting with loads of stuff and not being able to sell it.
08:09Tom's strategy is a bit wrong, really. We want to fill this shop and we don't want it looking empty.
08:14So, you know, let's buy as much stuff as we can. Let's fill these vans and let's get it there and let's sell it.
08:19We can have a 700 square foot unit with a table and chairs in. It's going to look stupid.
08:24While for Tom, less is more, Laura's team focus on turning trash into cash.
08:30We need to be very cost conscious, get to houses, get to charity places, get as much crap for us.
08:35But that's what we're doing. We're selling crap and turning it into style.
08:40That's exactly it. It's all about adding the value to the product.
08:43Absolutely right. We get a product, we add a lot of value, make it stylish.
08:46This is something I love doing. I love taking old pieces of furniture and charting them up.
08:51And I've sold chairs for like £250, so in limited edition.
08:55And they buy, you know, even if it's like a Union Jack or something, you know, really funky dress.
09:00Union Jack seems to be quite in at the moment.
09:02Gabrielle, I think you should really bleed in the front with the creative side. Is everybody happy for that?
09:06Absolutely agree.
09:07OK, fantastic. Guys, thank you very much.
09:09Project managers picked, plans in place. Facing an early morning start, it's back to the house.
09:206.30am.
09:25Today, both teams must seek out their stock.
09:29Use your money to pick up the additional stuff that we can use to basically tar up our materials as well, buttons.
09:34You might be able to find really, really cheap stuff that we can start ripping apart for customisation as well.
09:38Tomorrow, their shops must open for business.
09:42Let's think, you know, realistically, how many items are we going to sell?
09:45Maybe 50 to 70 items would be a good target.
09:47So then I'm going to give you £200, but really I want to try and spend as little as possible.
09:51Be very selective, is that OK?
09:53Just keep in touch and let's get going.
09:55OK then.
09:57Tom's sort of strategy or briefing to us, really, was to give us £200, tell us not to spend it.
10:1460 sales floor to fill. You know, we're not miracle workers. We're good negotiators and good salespeople. We're not miracle workers.
10:23Greenwich. An auction house stacked with bric-a-brac.
10:27Lot 65, oak book rack.
10:3025 over there.
10:3130 pounds.
10:32Bidding on Tom's tight budget, Adam, Stephen and Katie.
10:3655, 60 pounds, 65 on me.
10:39Have we got a lot of money for that?
10:40Look at we're 80, are we all done?
10:4275 pounds!
10:44Not 54, honey oak three, draw serving table.
10:48Are we going something?
10:50No.
10:51110, 120, 130, 140, I'll take 145.
10:55You don't have to shop at 200 quat, isn't that?
10:57Ridiculous.
10:58Not 158, good quantity of vintage 20th century clock.
11:01I like this. I do like this.
11:03This team has committed a number of mortal sins.
11:07Firstly, they didn't argue about the small amount of money they were given.
11:12They only got 200 pounds of the 1,000 pound seed money.
11:15And then they come to an auction.
11:17They bid for four lots, one, three.
11:20Three things.
11:21All done.
11:22Active, Steve!
11:23What about that?
11:24That's just foolish.
11:25I'm happy with the stock with Bart, but I don't think we've got anywhere near enough.
11:29This is it.
11:31For Adam, a final bid for stock in the auction house bins.
11:39Steve!
11:40Steve!
11:41Yep.
11:42Had some great stuff in the skip.
11:44Another wine rack.
11:45Bench.
11:46Is this in the skip?
11:47Yep.
11:51Stuff's all the way down.
11:52Thomas seems to be wanting to lose the task, I find.
12:06Like, we're out here trying to negotiate, trying to get as many products as possible.
12:09You know, he's given us a really tight budget.
12:11I think we need to throw a bit more money at this.
12:14My whole attitude is prepared to win and I think he's preparing to fail.
12:18Tooting, South London.
12:20How you doing, mate?
12:21You well?
12:22Hey, how are you?
12:23How are you?
12:24How are you, mate?
12:25Set on adding value to vintage cast offs.
12:27What about that chest in the, in, in, in the windows?
12:30The trunk.
12:31Yeah.
12:32Laura's team is on the hunt for products with potential.
12:34Yeah.
12:35I'll put that off.
12:36I'll poster that.
12:37You can paint those bits and pieces.
12:38How much do you sell these legs for on their own?
12:40Can we take them?
12:41The pieces were interesting.
12:42It's all two suitcases at the top up here.
12:45The two top ones, yeah.
12:46I like that suit.
12:47Yeah.
12:48Yeah, I could do the leather trunk for ten.
12:49The camel stool.
12:50The side tables, the trunk.
12:51And this retro table here.
12:52Yeah.
12:53The chair and the glass.
12:54Yeah, the metal one here.
12:56Yeah, yeah.
12:57The broken table.
12:58And the four stools plus one.
12:59The broken table in the back is well.
13:01And the broken table.
13:02Okay.
13:03There's a hundred minutes.
13:04Just give me a quick tally.
13:0718, 19.
13:0819 plus frames.
13:10We bought a hell of a lot of stuff, haven't we?
13:13Right, we've got to get going.
13:17We've got a lot more than we thought we'd get.
13:19But I did like the items we took.
13:21Yeah.
13:22There's nothing there that I think I won't be able to sell that.
13:25Oh, this is nice.
13:27Mm.
13:28For project manager Tom and his team, a car boot sale.
13:32What do you reckon about these chairs?
13:33Cheers.
13:34I think that's quite cool.
13:35The perfect place to bulk buy bargains.
13:38There's damage, though.
13:39How much?
13:40How much?
13:41Can we fix that?
13:42Do you want to buy any old rubbish, though?
13:43I think this is worth £7.
13:44I just don't like it.
13:45I really don't like it.
13:46I really don't like it.
13:47I think that's quite a cool little retro mirror.
13:49It's just damaged, though, isn't it?
13:50On the mirror again, like...
13:51It's important not just to buy any old stuff to go into shops.
13:54We need to sell it.
13:55It needs to be something that's going to be desirable for buyers.
13:57So we've been selected.
13:59That's quite cool.
14:00Mm.
14:01You just need to buy enough stuff, don't we, to fill the shop up?
14:04Yeah, we do.
14:05No, we will, but I don't really like it.
14:06OK, cool, cool.
14:07We're here on an enormous car boot sale, full of everything that you can imagine.
14:12The point is, find the right thing here to take to Brick Lane.
14:16Home to the young trendy with the gelled hair.
14:19In terms of the colouring of it...
14:21That's perfect.
14:22I think it's quite a nice piece.
14:23And they've only bought a few little items.
14:25It's nuts.
14:26They've got to fill that shop tomorrow.
14:28I don't want to be walking into an empty shell of a shop.
14:31Well, you reckon put records in it?
14:32Well, we'd have to sand it down.
14:34My concern is the condition it's in, so I don't...
14:39Oh, my God.
14:41OK, let's not do it.
14:43Sorry about smashing it.
14:48Brick Lane.
14:51Heart of London's fashionable East End.
14:54Bursting with vintage and retro retail.
14:57And cool customers.
14:59This is it, guys.
15:00Cool.
15:01This is good.
15:02I think we need to get on with making stuff.
15:0520 quid.
15:07For Laura's team, a truckload of stock in need of a makeover.
15:12And, erm, yep.
15:14What I think we need to think about now is a plan of action.
15:16There's things here that cannot be sold as they are.
15:18I think these would be great if you could do the shabby chic effect.
15:21Do you want to do anything to this?
15:22Painter?
15:23Painter's shabby chic.
15:24Again, in a...
15:25I'm not sure what the shabby chic sounds for.
15:32Ideally, we want to upcycle as many items as we possibly can because this is the idea.
15:36We're adding value to what is potentially someone else's junk to try and make it attractive to somebody else.
15:42I would like, ideally, to have, like, a stamp and everything, just to have a brand, you know, that's our brand.
15:48Charged with turning second-hand stock into a pretty penny, Gabrielle.
15:53So we need cushions, we need fabric, we need candles.
15:56Erm, can I order two metres in the stripe fabric?
16:00Can I have two metres in...
16:02Actually, no, get, erm, four metres there.
16:04Can I have four metres in the orange suede?
16:07Two packs of the castors?
16:09No, eight, sorry.
16:10Erm, four packs, four packs.
16:12Four packs of the caster wheels.
16:14Sterling seem to think they have to upcycle everything.
16:16That takes a lot of time and a lot of expertise.
16:19And most importantly, a lot of materials.
16:22And materials cost money.
16:24Twelve of these and two of these.
16:26Four pound each.
16:28We've got loads left.
16:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, guys.
16:30OK, then.
16:31Erm, so can I order, erm, the doorknubs at four pound each?
16:39At the other end of Brick Lane, Jade, Tom and Azar get a first look at their retail space.
16:46To be honest, this is quite a big shop.
16:49Smaller items that we have.
16:51Obviously, the size of it looks quite big.
16:54I'm going to have to get a few more items, just a little...
17:01South London.
17:02Hello.
17:03Hi, madam, nice to meet you.
17:04How you doing?
17:05Low on stock and short of cash, the rest of Tom's team hunt for hidden gems in a junk shop.
17:11That wine rack, definitely.
17:15That lampshade, Steve.
17:18What do you do with that, mate?
17:19I'll get over cheap anyway.
17:20Free it up.
17:21You know what I mean?
17:2210p, innit?
17:23A chair like this, and I think the suitcase as well as the two things I'd pick out.
17:26What do you want to do?
17:27You want to do a price on the lot?
17:28Yeah.
17:29Just tell us what you can do, buddy, yeah.
17:30Yeah.
17:3150 quid the lot.
17:32Can't we've got it?
17:33We haven't got it.
17:34Stop it.
17:35You'll have me crying in a minute.
17:36We've only got literally 25 quid.
17:37I'll tell you what I do.
17:3835 quid, I'll throw the books in.
17:40There you are.
17:41And there's profit there.
17:42I'll tell you what I'll do.
17:43We'll meet you in the middle.
17:44I'll say 30 from a North Londoner to a South Londoner.
17:46Go on, then.
17:4730 quid.
17:48Go on.
17:49You mad me pants now, but God, dear, I don't know.
17:51See you later, guys.
17:54They didn't do very well.
17:55I mean, there's a lot of things here that would have made a good profit,
17:58and they've missed every single piece, and instead they've rummaged through a pile of junk,
18:03ended up with two old metal chairs, which, to be the truth, aren't even worth the money in scrap.
18:08They picked absolute rubbish.
18:12We found all the good stuff right at the back, so if we could give him a bit of advice,
18:15he should probably pull all the stuff out and start again.
18:18He probably doesn't know how much gold is in that shop, to be honest,
18:20because we've just took all the best stuff.
18:22I agree.
18:23You know?
18:244pm.
18:25North London.
18:28This it here?
18:31Next, for Laura and her boys, a house clearance.
18:35It smells vintage, that's for sure.
18:38Why is everything going?
18:39What's the clearance for?
18:40What's the nature of...?
18:41Someone's passed away.
18:42Someone's passed away.
18:43OK.
18:44Can we take what we like?
18:45Yes.
18:46OK.
18:47Is it possible that we can take the curtains, strip the curtains?
18:50What about the carpet?
18:51Some of this stuff, I can't imagine buying personally.
18:56It's a bit T-Metro.
18:58So it'll be a challenge to see if I can actually sell it.
19:02With nothing mentioned, nothing gained, all the stuff was free,
19:04and there is a well-known expression,
19:06don't look a gift horse in the eye.
19:11I think once we've got the items scrubbed up,
19:14I mean, I'm really hoping that we go back here
19:16and the guys have done some pretty impressive stuff.
19:19Do you know, I love that.
19:30They're all mini tables.
19:35Do people buy this kind of stuff with as many tables?
19:38£60, I'd probably pay for something like this.
19:43That's too small, perhaps.
19:45I sort of think it looks like a box on a ladder.
19:47The upcycling's an interesting process.
19:49I'm not 100% sure whether all the items are going to end up looking better,
19:53but Gabrielle's got that underhand.
19:56I actually really like that.
20:017pm.
20:03For the other team...
20:05It's definitely minimalistic.
20:07..Tom's vision takes shape.
20:09Maybe bring that table a little bit further forward.
20:15What chair would go best with that table? That chair there?
20:19I'd put it a bit more further out.
20:21I think we need to fill up more space here.
20:25No, I'd put it, like, this bit further out.
20:29Well, there's two drinks tables.
20:33I'm feeling it looks very, very bare.
20:36It's a big retail unit.
20:37Have we got enough stuff?
20:39I don't think we have.
20:52Still sprucing up their stock, Laura's team.
20:56So, tell us what was next on your list and we'll get started on it.
20:58These needs to be drilled together.
20:59All these items here are waiting for the red paint.
21:01All the stuff in there still needs work on it.
21:03The team have got a long night ahead of them, I think.
21:09They've got a real desire to paint everything, to change everything.
21:14And I'm not sure whether that actually detracts from the value
21:18or adds any value.
21:20I'll tell you what I'm not 100% keen on so far is Union Jacks.
21:23I just think, wow, it looks like I've painted it and I can't paint.
21:27What the hell is a Union Jack doing on our products?
21:29How creative is a Union Jack?
21:31The idea of that was trying to get a similar language between, like, all of our products.
21:37I don't get it, you know what I mean?
21:38So, if you think someone would buy that, then...
21:40It was, like, more of a retro look, which I kind of feel works well.
21:44So you're confident in them?
21:45Yeah.
21:567.30am.
21:5710 hours to make a cool profit on the streets of East London.
22:04What are you wearing?
22:05I'm going to try and paint them in the Brick Lane cruise.
22:07I'm probably going to wear something that's really old and doesn't fit.
22:10Yeah.
22:12The choice of clothes is a bit of an issue.
22:14I don't actually hang around Brick Lane too much, but in my mind, I know it's quite hip.
22:18You know, I'm trying to pull off as hip as I can and not look like a complete prat.
22:21If I could just undo my shirt, my buttons here, and look a bit arty, I can get into it.
22:26The only concern is that people like what we've done.
22:33I mean, especially in the upcycling side of things as well.
22:37I'm more confident we'll sell those than the playing events just because Union Jacks and that kind of thing at the moment is quite in.
22:459am, Brick Lane.
22:52Has this been messed up overnight or did we leave it like this?
22:55We're left it like this.
22:57Right, let's go, let's go.
22:59But Laura's shop, Vintage Gold, it's all hands on deck to get the place shipshape.
23:05Right, so Union Jacks stuff, all suitcases, shabby chic, can be priced.
23:10I just need to sort this out and this.
23:12What I'm concerned about is this.
23:16There we are, back again.
23:18On Tom's team...
23:20Ah, it's looking nice, isn't it?
23:21..last-minute tweaks for his minimal retro station.
23:25Looks fresh, looks clean.
23:35Hi there, just having a look round.
23:37Can you do all right?
23:38Yeah, of course you can, absolutely, we're just opening as it happens, so please do have a look.
23:42This hole punch, I didn't even know that you could get hole punches like that.
23:46No, me neither.
23:47That's fantastic.
23:48How long have you guys been here?
23:49One day, this is it.
23:50One day only.
23:51Oh, yes.
23:52Can you take eight on it then?
23:53Eight pounds?
23:54Yeah, I'll take eight on that.
23:55I'll catch that up for you.
23:56Okay, there's your receipt.
23:57I do like it.
23:58All right, I'm going to get that too.
23:59You want to get that too?
24:00No, I'll get anything else.
24:01Yeah?
24:02Okay.
24:03All right, no worries.
24:04I actually really liked the shop, it didn't have that many things in it, not too cluttered,
24:10but everything that was there was pretty special.
24:13Could we have some leaves coming in like a path?
24:16Of leaves?
24:17Yeah.
24:18Adding character to its clutter, and running late, Laura's team.
24:23This chair alone, I would say at least £140.
24:26Yeah?
24:27Yeah.
24:28We paid £25 for it.
24:29Yeah.
24:30You're sure that we could get that?
24:31Yeah.
24:35£120?
24:36I've got no clue in this.
24:37I don't buy this shit.
24:40With vintage gold open, time to rustle up some customers.
24:44We've got a vintage shop here.
24:46We've got vintage goods from around London.
24:48It's only open for one day.
24:49We've got some of the best antique pieces from around London.
24:51Some of them have been upcycled.
24:52That's right.
24:53Would you like a quick look around?
24:54That's right.
24:55It's OK, thanks.
24:56You sure?
25:00I was interested in these shelves.
25:02Ah, good choice, good choice.
25:03Yes.
25:04Yeah.
25:05At Retro Station, Tom's hand-picked products are a hit.
25:12It's a tall bunch.
25:13Obviously, the weightless scales are £40.
25:15Okay.
25:16But while sales are brisk, stock is low.
25:19There's a difference between minimalism and emptiness.
25:24I think they need to really get some stuff in there.
25:29I think it's going really well.
25:30It is, yeah.
25:31The only thing is stock.
25:32Do we take this last opportunity to get some more stock?
25:35Um, stock.
25:36Stock.
25:37It's not just furniture.
25:38We've got little clocks, we've got little cabinets,
25:40we've got candle holders, we've got crockery.
25:42On the other side of Brick Lane, Laura's vintage gold.
25:47It's worth seeing here.
25:48Oh, yeah, definitely.
25:49You might see something else you quite like here.
25:51Pushing its brand of retro chic to style-conscious locals.
25:55This is actually my favourite bit in here.
25:57I love...
25:58Yeah.
25:59This one's big and this one's small, but...
26:02You'd have to be really cool.
26:03Clearly, you are.
26:04Don't miss out.
26:05You're not going to find a piece like that again.
26:07That's true.
26:08That's true.
26:09Where did you get these from?
26:10Do you love it?
26:11It's like 80s.
26:12It's like 80s, isn't it?
26:13Do you want to sit down on it?
26:18Well, what if we did a deal on it for you?
26:20Are you sure?
26:21It's not a hugely easy sale for any of the items.
26:26You've really got to sell hard.
26:27They're actually lampshades from 1970s.
26:29I'll have a look around and get back to you.
26:31OK.
26:32You have to be quite pushy and really try to convince them.
26:35Hi, how are you?
26:36Do you want to have a look in our pop-up vintage store?
26:38We're literally only here for today.
26:39Really funky stuff.
26:40There's lots of different sales techniques going on.
26:42here at the shop.
26:44But Jane's I find the most uncomfortable.
26:46Do you want to have a quick look?
26:47She's very pushy.
26:49She's very aggressive with the customers.
26:52And they don't really like it.
26:53What about a chair?
26:54No.
27:00Midday at Retro Station.
27:02How retro can you get?
27:04Can I read this book?
27:07Everything's going well so far.
27:09We've sold a number of items.
27:11The shop looks empty.
27:12The concern is, are we going to have enough stock, you know, for the rest of the day?
27:17Hi, Tom, mate.
27:18Steve.
27:19In terms of stock, one simple question.
27:21Do you need more stock?
27:23I think we do need a few more items.
27:24Yeah.
27:25All right, pal.
27:26Battersea, South London.
27:28With just a few hours to go, Jade, Adam and Stephen hunt for tat that might turn a profit.
27:34How much do you want for the cameras?
27:3550p?
27:36Yeah.
27:37Yeah, is that right?
27:38There you go.
27:39A pound for the two.
27:41Cheers.
27:42Nine pounds.
27:43It's a deal.
27:45Three quid's all I've got.
27:46You know, I've had to buy them myself, so...
27:47Of course.
27:48You can pay a pound for it.
27:49I can't pay more than a pound.
27:50I can allow you to pay a pound for that, Jade, but that's...
27:51Oh, you can have it for a pound.
27:52Yeah.
27:53As long as you promise you'll go away.
27:54Well done.
27:55I think she would have broke out that.
27:56She would have sold that for three or four quid in an hour.
27:57You can't get more retro than that.
27:58That's fine.
27:59At Vintage Gold...
28:00I know you're on a chair, right?
28:01Oh, don't leave.
28:02With stock still high, a plan from project manager Laura.
28:05We've got our leaflets, so let's get these out and try and push a little bit of traffic
28:20more our way.
28:21There's too many of us to sell to everyone, so I want to localise three more better.
28:25Right, so you know what you're doing?
28:26Yeah.
28:27Just do your best, guys.
28:28Yeah, of course.
28:29We've got a pop-up vintage store around the corner and we've got a 10% discount with
28:34this flyer.
28:35Can I give you a flyer?
28:36We've got a Ceylon just round the corner.
28:37Flyers, an extra 10% off with the flyers.
28:39Give you one of these, mate.
28:42Got a vintage Ceylon just round the corner.
28:45With its promotional team drumming up trade...
28:48Fantastic.
28:49That's £10.
28:50..a mid-afternoon rush for vintage gold.
28:53I'm really excited.
28:55People are literally just walking in, grabbing stuff, paying for it and walking out.
28:59I think we're doing really, really, really well.
29:01Considering the fact of the amount of stock we had, the guys are working so hard.
29:05Open it up, so, yeah, you can put all your stuff, your newspapers, magazines, whatever
29:09else.
29:10I actually think we'll be pleasantly surprised when we start doing the tally-up of how much
29:14profit we've made.
29:16Armed with more stock, Retro Station's reinforcements arrive.
29:21Yeah, right, then these are cool.
29:22Ten-pound.
29:23I've just got to get this out as quickly as possible.
29:24Yeah, OK, cool.
29:25Yeah?
29:26They're doing well.
29:27I may well have sneered a little bit yesterday and I apologise because I thought their product
29:38selection was poor.
29:39What do I know?
29:40That's a bit of crap, isn't it?
29:42There's your receipt.
29:43Oh, you just put that in the bag.
29:44Oh, did I?
29:45Oh, sorry, it's pretty good.
29:46Shit.
29:47Yes.
29:48We tried to create a bit of a retro feel, you know, it's aimed at, you know, the kind
29:56of people that are living round here.
29:57I'll put some stuff like this on this skit.
30:015pm.
30:02One hour to go before takings must be totted up.
30:08Do you like the chair?
30:11Do you want to, if they do you a deal on it, do you want to buy it?
30:14The Union Jack stuff isn't selling too well.
30:16We've got all the chairs, we've got the fabric chairs, we've got the wooden chairs.
30:20My initial impressions were it wouldn't be the first thing to go off the shelves.
30:23I'm optimistic that we're going to shift it.
30:25It's just what price we shift it for, I think is the question.
30:28We literally sanded them all down, painted them, kind of tried to give them an identity,
30:33not just a piece of furniture but a piece of art as well.
30:35I think things with flags on them just look a little silly.
30:38It didn't really seem vintage in the way that you would think of as sort of classic or elegant.
30:44To me it just is a bit almost cheap or tacky.
30:48We do have still quite a lot to shift.
30:51Please come and take this furniture off of me!
30:55With both teams' money tied up in unsold stock...
31:00Vintage shop, vintage prices, we've got the last few bits now for you guys.
31:04...last chance to convert it into cash.
31:07Thanks for having me checking it out.
31:09Mind your backs now!
31:10Go on!
31:11Where am I coming?
31:12Just keep running!
31:13Where?
31:14Long team for a pound!
31:16Nick, we're going to sell this now.
31:189.15, you've got yourself a deal.
31:199.
31:209.50.
31:219.25.
31:229.25.
31:23I was selling them at 40.
31:249.50.
31:259.25.
31:26It's 25.
31:279.30.
31:289.25.
31:29Right, 9.25.
31:30You've got yourself a deal.
31:31Come and take it!
31:32One pound!
31:33You just wanting to?
31:34I've just given the lady a ridiculous deal.
31:36Two...
31:37...viles, it's working on 60 quid.
31:39Two pound fifty.
31:40I'm literally giving it to you!
31:42One pound!
31:43Look, feel the weight of it!
31:44Solid glass table!
31:45Yes, but my house is too far!
31:47One pound!
31:48What about that afterwards?
31:49It's a pound!
31:50One pound!
31:51Oh, I can tell you that chair that goes with this table!
31:54One pound!
31:55Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
31:56Hang on!
31:57No, no, no!
31:5850 feet!
31:59I've finished my pound!
32:00One pound!
32:01No, it's too much!
32:02I'm sorry!
32:036pm.
32:08Closed!
32:09Closed!
32:10Closed!
32:11Closed!
32:12Closed!
32:13Closed!
32:14Closed!
32:15Closed!
32:16Closed!
32:17Closed!
32:18Drcks!
32:19Oh, yes!
32:20Oh, yes!
32:21Oh, yes!
32:22Aw!
32:23That is really good!
32:24Tomorrow, the boardroom.
32:26That is really good.
32:28BUZZI
32:41MUSIC
32:43You can go through to the border now.
33:13Good afternoon.
33:29Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
33:34Well, I would have found this a very interesting task, interesting in the sense that the product
33:40definition was actually undefined.
33:44It wasn't as if I was actually saying go and make something specific or buy something specific.
33:48It was anything.
33:49And I'd be interested to hear how we got on here.
33:53Sterling, let's start here.
33:56Team leader?
33:57Yes, that was myself, Lord Sugar.
33:58How'd that come about?
33:59I put myself forward quite strongly, actually.
34:02I was very keen to really put myself on your radar and start stepping out of the crowd,
34:06if I'm honest with you.
34:07You're in the wedding dress business, yeah?
34:10Yes, I have one shop.
34:11So you're used to dressing things up, making it look better then, yeah?
34:14Yeah.
34:15You could put it that way, yeah.
34:17Yeah.
34:18Okay, well, go on then.
34:19Really, it was quite foreign territory to most of us in terms of retro, vintage.
34:24We had a little bit of an advantage because we had Gabrielle on our team.
34:28We started to get some ideas on the table.
34:30Some very popular ideas to start with was the shabby chic look.
34:34What?
34:35The shabby chic furniture.
34:36Basically, yes.
34:37Shabby chic?
34:38Yes.
34:39You get some old furniture, paint it and then sand it down so it looks a little bit rustic.
34:44Who started working on the refurbishment or the upside?
34:49The girls and Nick.
34:50The three of us.
34:51The three of us and Nick.
34:52Yeah.
34:53What did that entail then?
34:54Painting, reupholstering?
34:55String.
34:56Cleaning.
34:57Reupholstering?
34:58Yes.
34:59Well, reupholstering involves material and a staple gut.
35:01Yes.
35:02More shabby than chic.
35:03Hmm.
35:04And what style do you think your shop was?
35:06It was probably more down the route of vintage than retro, but we did have some...
35:09But what did it look like when you were?
35:10I heard there was a load of dead leaves on the floor.
35:12Some could say, like an Oxfam shop in the middle of a hurricane or something.
35:15It's when the customers say they look quite arty when they came in, they like the leaves
35:19on the floor.
35:20Right.
35:21Who was good at selling?
35:22To be fair to everyone, I think we all had a fair crack at it, to be honest with you.
35:25I don't actually know what the individual sales figures were, but nobody was off the board.
35:29Who was, like, got in the mood of the particular shop?
35:34I mean, there's selling.
35:35Yeah.
35:36You know, there's, like, the old boy selling off a stall, but there are times when you
35:41have to take on a different type of posture with the particular clientele you're dealing
35:47with.
35:48I was quite impressed with myself, to be honest with you.
35:50OK.
35:51And, so, a good team leader?
35:53She did a very good job as a subject manager.
35:55Yeah, I was very impressed.
35:56All right.
35:57I got it.
35:58I got it.
35:59Thanks.
36:00So, Tom.
36:01Yeah, it was myself.
36:02Yeah.
36:03How'd that come about, Tom?
36:04After you spoke to us, it was definitely a task that I was really excited about and wanted
36:07to take the opportunity to be project manager.
36:09Did you have a strategy?
36:11Yes.
36:12I was cautious about what we should be going out and buying.
36:14I said to the guys, look, let's really drive a hard bargain.
36:17Let's really negotiate down, so our costs are low.
36:19But I think everyone was happy with the strategy we were going for.
36:22How would your team split up?
36:23Yeah, I decided I wanted Jade by my side because I think we probably got the best eye for
36:27maybe design and also I wanted to be in a shop so I could get a feel for the size of
36:30it, how we were going to lay things out.
36:31What were the other team?
36:32What were they tasked with?
36:33OK, the other team was the kind of stock buying team.
36:36So, for me, I wanted to get the strongest negotiators on that side of the task.
36:39Stock buying from the dealers?
36:40Yeah, from the dealers.
36:41Right.
36:42Very, very simple remit.
36:43We, obviously, the key to this task was profit and in terms of items that we were
36:47selecting, we were quite cautious in everything we selected because the bottom line is
36:50if people don't like it, they're not going to buy it.
36:52So, we went to the dealership and we actually found a nice room out the back.
36:56Why would he have all this stuff at the back, then, if it wasn't up for sale?
36:59It was there that long that it had actually become retro.
37:01I don't think it was retro initially, but I think that was the situation.
37:03We actually bought a couple of suitcases that we're now quite in at the moment.
37:07We also bought some little nickels, a couple of chairs that we could use.
37:10So, you must have been delighted there.
37:11You must have thought you were a right bunch of idiots.
37:13So, would you give them free reign on how much you could spend?
37:17I gave them £200 to go out with initially.
37:20So, that was the deliberate thing on your behalf, wasn't it?
37:23Yeah, I mean, I think it helps.
37:24You didn't want them to get carried away, is that what you're saying?
37:26Yeah, and we also had the whole of day two.
37:27Damage limitation or what? They could only blow £200?
37:30Yeah.
37:31Blood Sugar, I mentioned several times that the shop for me, from the outside,
37:36which is where you should judge a shop, obviously not when you stood on the inside, look bare,
37:39but I didn't know whether it was going for minimal or steak or...
37:42But you do get these arty-farty people that just have a big white shop on one thing sticking in the middle.
37:47The brick lane area isn't, yeah, it's not my expertise, so I wasn't sure.
37:49We had been set out in a good way, though. For what we had in there, we did the best for what it was.
37:53So, how was Tom? Good?
37:55Good.
37:56Tom was a good leader.
37:57Tom Overall was very good.
37:58Got good cooperation from all good people?
38:01Oh, absolutely fantastic. I haven't got a bad word to say about anyone in my team for the last two days.
38:04Good.
38:06Brave statement, but good.
38:09Now, I think I've heard enough now, so I think we need to get down to the numbers
38:13and let's see how we did, see how much money we made.
38:17I'll start with you, Nick. Have you got some numbers there that I can write down?
38:21Yeah, yeah.
38:22Thanks.
38:23Total sales of £1,423.50, minus the total spend of £360.10, generated a profit of £1,063.40.
38:38That's not bad for a few days' work, £1,000.
38:41Great.
38:42Karen, how about your team?
38:44We did better on sales.
38:46£1,444.25.
38:50Mm-hm.
38:52But we spent more.
38:54£660.76, making a profit of £783.49.
39:00Well done, Phoenix.
39:01You came in with £1,063 profit, playing £783, so that's very good.
39:10And it looks like your stinginess paid off here, because you spent £360 compared to £660,
39:17so very, very good.
39:20Well, keeping in the spirit of things, I'm going to set up a 40s vintage party for you.
39:25And here's the good news, you're going to actually learn how to swing dance.
39:28Fantastic.
39:30Fantastic.
39:31Have a nice time, and I'll see you on the next task.
39:35And well done.
39:36Well done.
39:37I love it.
39:40I want it to.
39:42Yes!
39:43You love it.
39:44Right, right.
39:45Yes!
39:47I thought we'd lose.
39:49Well done.
39:50Well, same kind of sales figure, and clearly you spent more money.
39:55That's it, really.
39:56But I think, you know, you were there on the day, so you need to go and talk about this amongst yourself,
40:01and I'll see you back here shortly.
40:03Off you go.
40:05Thank you, guys.
40:06Team Phoenix.
40:07Team Phoenix.
40:08Team Phoenix.
40:09To a good piano.
40:10Thanks very much.
40:11That's a good job.
40:12Well done.
40:13Very good job.
40:14Woo!
40:15Hello!
40:16My name's Simon.
40:17This is Nicky, and our job is to get you swinging.
40:21Oh, my God!
40:22There you go.
40:23There you go.
40:24Push.
40:25Prepare.
40:26Ten.
40:27And go.
40:28Finally a win, and I think well deserved.
40:30Tom was a very strong PM.
40:31I'm not necessarily sure he was a good PM.
40:32He chose a risky strategy, but it paid off.
40:35And out.
40:36Because of my age, I think it makes, obviously, my position as project manager can be quite
40:38difficult for some people to take orders from myself, but every time I ask someone to
40:42do something, they did it without questions.
40:43Big team.
40:44Big win.
40:45Cheers.
40:46Cheers.
40:47Cheers.
40:48Cheers.
40:49Cheers.
40:50Cheers.
40:51Cheers.
40:52Cheers.
40:53Cheers.
40:54It's unfortunate, guys.
40:55Yeah.
40:56I think it's a tough job.
40:57I think he chose a risky strategy, but it paid off.
40:58And out.
40:59Because of my age, I think it makes, obviously, my position as project manager can be quite
41:00difficult for some people to take orders from myself, but every time I ask someone
41:02to do something, they did it without questions.
41:03Big team.
41:04Big win.
41:05Cheers.
41:06Cheers.
41:07Cheers.
41:08Cheers.
41:09Cheers.
41:10Cheers.
41:11Cheers.
41:12Cheers.
41:13Cheers.
41:14Cheers.
41:15Cheers.
41:16Cheers.
41:17Cheers.
41:18Cheers.
41:19I see the task, there's two sides to it.
41:21Primarily the costs.
41:22Mm-hm.
41:23The secondary thing, I mean, if we had higher sales, that wouldn't have been an issue either.
41:27So the cost has absolutely crippled us for this task.
41:30I also feel like some of the items which we upcycled, we upcycled them with the wrong
41:34design.
41:35I don't want a rammy to erupt over the table, but a third of it was spent on the materials.
41:42I feel blame shouldn't just be on the materials.
41:44I think where the problem lies is maybe we bought things, the actual items themselves,
41:49that were slightly too expensive i'm not too concerned about the right choices of stock
41:54ultimately that was guesswork but what we could have watched ourselves on was the purchasing of
41:59the materials
42:09can you send the candidates in please yes lord sugar you can go through to the boardroom now
42:32i'd be interested to hear your analysis as to why you lost to the other team can
42:39i try and attempt to to give a an answer to this yeah well you were the project manager
42:43exactly um my main concern on the spending front was that a third of this budget that we had was
42:52spent on the upcycling let's get in on this materials here go and buy some stuff that needs upcycling
43:02yeah yes so who did you put in charge of the converting of the stuff to finished product
43:09person i allocated the material job to basically what did we need and how much did we need was
43:15gabrielle okay so someone took a flying leaper in order to convert all that i need to spend 232
43:23pounds on materials to convert them all yeah yes and that was you yeah on the direction as well of
43:30other members of the team who said you know this should be done this this should be done to be
43:34clear when you had the list you were a bit like kids in a sweet shop we'll have some of this we'll
43:39have some of that we'll have some legs love some wheels none of you actually knew how much you'd
43:43spent you hadn't calculated what you were going to buy very carefully gabrielle was shouting out to
43:47jenna buy some of this buy some of that and jenna was ordering it and that's how it went
43:51well i literally was given products and told to make it look good i think actually in the end we
43:56bought too much stuff that needed to be upcycled that's why we had to buy so much material you
44:01didn't use it all five of the chairs that we upcycled were done with the sacks four of the chairs were
44:07done with the orange velvet we had some material on the footstools that is not a lot we did not use
44:12200 pounds worth of material what amount of material did you buy gabrielle and where did it get used
44:17the toys no no we used paint what we used to use we used paint we needed we needed the wheels which
44:23we used everything we basically had we didn't have no strategy on what we should buy we had no
44:29strategy we had we had no strategy you were given 300 pounds for the day which you did go over anyway
44:35if it shows to me that you weren't being careful can i just stop you there no no no no because this is
44:40just going into it no no you gave us 300 pounds to spend uh-huh and uh as you as my sub team can
44:47clarify that materials needed to be bought to upcycle what we were buying we were never given a budget on
44:52how much none of us not including yourself no one knew there was a budget to be spent on any materials
44:57why did you have to order 200 pounds worth of material we didn't we actually ordered 178 at first
45:01because you wanted us to do the shabby sheet look then in the next i'm trying to ask you what you
45:05finish can you tell me what you ordered individually yeah i'm going to tell you what we ordered we ordered
45:09the material um ladies ladies ladies ladies ladies um i hear on the other side from karen that
45:19you didn't get the plot on what to buy you bought a lot of stuff and the shop looked like a tip
45:26who chose the majority of the stuff from the dealers and places like that that was myself ricky
45:32and do we do you know that your team had 200 plus items in tom's team at 50. it's a big difference
45:43yeah yeah do you think you messed up the the theme of it one thing we didn't do lord sugar which is
45:48what's caused us to is we didn't do the market research i think gabrielle you did say you know
45:52the local market you've bought from them and i said i've been there and in fairness i think the creative
45:56team just took that as as as gospel i don't think the union jack particularly is brick lane it's not
46:01that demographic i just wanted something that when people go by you know it doesn't look like a
46:05junkyard it looks like oh maybe you know some thoughts been put into it so how much union jack
46:10stuff had been plastered around i was concerned i i've made a lot of decisions and i took on a lot
46:15of responsibility and a lot of stuff is coming my way but then if i'm taking responsibility for a lot of
46:21the stuff what what did you take responsibility for okay okay okay let's get off the union jack for a
46:27minute let's get on to sales so you see gabrielle was the biggest seller she sold 414 pounds of the
46:36stuff 28 items jenna was the next biggest seller 407 pounds worth of items jane you're the business
46:45woman here and you sold 10 quids worth of stuff i did find jane that your sales technique went between
46:53a bit desperate and a bit aggressive possibly i was over enthusiastic i apologize if i was but i
47:00tried my best to make sure that as many people as possible went into that shop right i mean laura
47:09i'm sitting here listening i've sat here and i'm getting bored now i can't get to where the problem
47:16lays we've spent too much money on materials we've gone and bought 200 items you know and not been very
47:23selective on the right category of products yeah where do you think the responsibility lays you two
47:30i think responsibility lies on the creative team i think unfortunately gabrielle you come up with some
47:34ideas which weren't selling on the day that could have sold a lot you did sell extremely well but i think
47:39you guys yeah they did sell more than me i wasn't on the sales team on that day okay listen laura
47:44who is responsible for the ultimate failure of the task i do feel a lot of the blame lies in gabrielle and
47:52who else i think after hearing that jane only sold 10 pounds i'll have to bring jane back in with me
48:01right rest of you go back to the house
48:09well i'm going to consult with uh karen a little longer and also nick who's been listening in on
48:21this so if you three step outside please
48:26laura got a lot to answer to because everybody i asked don't seem to know you know what the steer
48:46was from day one jane is clearly a very successful very able businesswoman her cv points to some
48:54extraordinary things that she's achieved but actually i can't put my hand on my heart and
48:58tell you that i've witnessed any think remarkable from her in any of the tasks that i've been following
49:05gabrielle seems to be the one which everyone's blaming for spending far too much money on the
49:10refurbishment materials but i tell you what she makes a very good point okay all right then let's say
49:17i did but what what what did you do and i haven't been able to get out of anybody else what they did
49:24so gabrielle made a point in the last session she said she's sitting here taking a load of flack
49:47but yet she asked you what did you do what was a good question i did do a good job the sales force
49:56was motivated i mean they were incredibly motivated and we did sell ultimately what i did do was i did
50:03manage the team well there was a clear direction gabrielle they say not they say not as the project manager
50:10uh-huh why didn't you say to them i only want 50 quid spent on materials but you didn't you just let
50:16them go what raving lunatic would ever think that it didn't matter how much you spent but i was hoping
50:22a small amount of common sense would prevail as a project manager some of the common sense should
50:27have come from you also i i feel there was actually no strategy yes there was good morale but when we ask
50:33you about materials and what we should buy and whatever else there was no budget you gave us 300
50:37pound in fact you didn't even specify that we should buy with that it did not make sense what
50:41was ordered i i took responsibility and i do not shy away from it and that's fine but i took on a lot of
50:48stuff and what did you do you gave a good speech now and again but if i ask you what did you do that
50:55contributed to this go ahead gabrielle that is a very good speech as well that's commendable as well
51:00thank you very much i'm not denying your work ethic okay yes i know you put some masking tape on a
51:07window well done for that yes i agree and leave that no look listen the bottom line is you as karen
51:16said were like a kid in a sweetie shop buying the materials at the end of the day i was at the center
51:23of everything was she at the center of everything well obviously not because if she was at the center of
51:28everything then there would have been a budget for the materials she was at the center of things
51:32would you have not known how much she was going to spend the point is you have to delegate that's
51:37what your your position was i'm asking you what did you delegate i don't get to you gabrielle that is
51:44so unfair because i was doing the selling and the purchasing yes we may have had some larger items
51:49and we may have bought a lot of stock but we sold it all the sales were not a problem for the team
51:54apart from for jane obviously no hold on a second i asked did you want me out in the street then you
52:00came out to the street and you asked me to do flyering i did ask you to do fly yes so why are you saying
52:05that you never once did you ask me to go back into the shop never once you know so why are you trying
52:11to okay ladies ladies ladies um i can see that there's a complete conflict here jane i've looked at your
52:19application here and you and your husband have a very substantial business i mean it's very very
52:25good very commendable so some of your colleagues in the house may be in awe of you or possibly even
52:34concerned that you are a contender the only thing is they might feel that about you i don't because i
52:41seen anything to make me feel that way so okay lord sugar uh just to clarify about the the sales i yeah
52:52i was out in the street for most of the day but i can i can genuinely say that i worked extremely hard
52:58i'm quite a serious person not a market trader um i haven't done that before i am more comfortable
53:04in the business to business environment i you know right laura why do you feel that you deserve
53:15the opportunity of getting an investment of 250 000 pounds from me i have been successful in
53:21everything i have ever done and i'm ready to i mean you weren't successful this week was you
53:28who should be fired in this particular task then do you think this week it's not unfortunately i
53:32still feel it's gabriel laura should be fired jane i believe laura should be fired it's a tough one
53:46it's down to this particular task and did you get the plot and laura i don't think you did get the plot
53:54in this task gabriel you got blamed for spending too much money but i admire your enthusiasm
54:09on this particular occasion i'm gonna let you stay in the process okay thank you doctor and it leaves me
54:17we're just having to make a decision about you two ladies here and where'd she go no i don't want
54:23to hear anymore actually okay this is one of the most difficult ones i've had to deal with um i have
54:31to judge it on the person that's got the most potential in coming into business with me yeah laura
54:39you lost the plot and you didn't run the team very well
54:50but i have a bigger concern with you jane
54:54you've been in the losing team three times uh out of four weeks yeah and
55:02nothing i have seen yet tells me that you are this great business person so on that basis jane
55:11you're fired okay thank you
55:14thank you
55:26now walking out that door there may be you know a great business partner for me but i have got a gut
55:33feeling and you gabriel the reason you're staying here today is because i think you've been unfairly
55:39picked upon okay off you go thank you thank you very much
55:59well i don't think you have to worry about jane she's obviously a very clever businesswoman the
56:04application on paper is unbelievable all i can say is is that i didn't see anything in the past four
56:11weeks and that's my gut feeling this is my boardroom this is my process this is my money
56:34lord sugar might have wanted me but i will be extremely successful in everything that i do
56:42and hopefully in a few years time he'll look back and say i shouldn't have fired her
56:47i think everything on paper should be that laura should go but i think the lord sugar will send jane
56:52home i personally think jane laura was a good motivator and she was a good tm in that respect she was
56:59well of it but we did make some strategic mistakes i think laura should get fired
57:13we did not know who was going and he ripped every one of us to shreds what happened to jen
57:18that was it basically what he said was he did say he had this feeling in his gut he said i've got to
57:23think about who i want to go into business with but she was also shocked because she did believe that
57:28she did a good job so you know for her i think was just a complete like where did that come from
57:33and she wasn't prepared it wasn't pleasant
57:38in the fight for lord sugar's quarter million pound investment 12 candidates remain
57:47next time your task this week is to come up with a new fitness program you gab jab
57:54put the cross it's survival of the fittest what's this call give us a name for it the swingling
58:02and loudest it's the same thing happening again we have an opinion and you just don't like it
58:07but in the boardroom one's unfit for business i did warn you about doing that and that's a bad
58:13management move that is you're fired jane's got over the shark of being fired and she's over on bbc2 now
58:24talking to dara about her dismissal from the apprentice
