00:22friction actually Daniels that on you no 20 candidates never been kicked in the
00:29bulls by a goat to be honest with you oh 12 tough tasks this is a complete and
00:36utter joke just jump straight in one life-changing opportunity you're fired
00:42you're fired you've completely messed it up you're fired
00:53previously on The Apprentice I want you to create a campaign for a new bottled

02:19do you need brush our teeth no i ain't
02:21no time mate
02:33good morning i guess you're surprised to see me but in the world of business you have to be ready
02:39at a moment's notice now your next task sounds simple i want you to make a bunch of money out
02:46of flowers now the uk spends over two billion pounds a year on flowers so this is a market in
02:53full bloom as it were you're going to create bouquets to sell to the public and i've arranged
02:59for each team to meet a corporate client who are looking to place a bespoke order the team that
03:07makes the most profit will win and on the losing team at least one of you will be fired now
03:13i'm
03:13going to mix up the teams a bit karishma lawrence and priesh swap with rajan levi and rothner
03:29so everything clear good well i'll see you in the boardroom in a couple of days time
03:38teams have two days to turn petals into profit okay welcome to the team rothner rajan and levi
03:45thank you glad to be here nice first job is anyone interested in putting themselves forward as pm
03:52choose a chief florist well i just did it and i need i need a minute to get gather myself
03:59um my hand is blooming in the sky like a flower and i see no one else's hand i mean
04:04i would you
04:05i didn't mind doing it but if you're up for it i'm up for it only because i haven't had
04:09a chance
04:09i like flowers i like good things but i also want to just be do something i haven't done before
04:13so this is an amazing challenge um i want to push myself completely in a new place and thrive there
04:19so i'm my pm that's my pm
04:24i'm excited to be the project manager for this task this is not my remit i've never done flowers
04:29before but i want to show lord sugar that i can absolutely excel at anything i put my head to
04:34what is your what is your strategy that's my only question let's let's let's get there in a second
04:38let me breathe all right we're kids
04:42across the hall i've arranged flowers before so i'd feel pretty confident leading this team
04:48already running the rest does anybody have a preference on what flowers we want to do
04:55rosner from my experience if we do go for country garden that is usually a lot cheaper to buy than
05:01higher-end things like roses i think the garden ones personally i wouldn't ever purchase because i
05:05just think i could grow them in my own garden in my personal opinion i feel like they look a
05:09bit like
05:09an old style i totally get it but the good thing i would say about country garden is i know
05:14that in
05:14the flower market it's a bit cheaper to buy not to sound cheap but it's a profit task right so
05:18at
05:19the end of the day that's my priority but i just need you all to believe in it okay yeah
05:22amazing okay
05:23brilliant rothra was really keen on the country garden theme but if you don't arrange them right
05:30they can look like a bunch of weeds picked up from the garden if they look cheap they sell cheap
05:36and this is a profit task do you know what type of colors country garden is pastoral colors like
05:41lilacs baby pink create like a relaxed vibe we're bringing the outdoors inside yeah nice
05:48i was leaning towards tropical flowers i like the vibrancy of it debating a direction for their bouquet
05:55we are talking bold bright just like all of us vanessa's team i do love the tropical idea however
06:02i feel like in the market it may be a little bit isolating whereas a classic flower you can really
06:07sell that to anyone being like you want to give a gift or you want to show your loved one
06:10you love
06:10them it appeals to everyone for a reason also if they're being imported the cost price might be a
06:15little bit higher i 100 get you i still am leaning towards the tropical flowers i think we can kind
06:21of
06:21evoke the feeling of if you don't get to travel this year you can travel with your flowers it's time
06:25to
06:25like get the vibrancy out and i probably will go for tropical flowers that gave everyone yeah we have
06:30to be very cautious because bald can be brilliant but bald can be extremely risky
06:38next so if we could now decide on a team split choose who will focus on flowers i'll be on
06:45the bouquet
06:46team with andrea harry and megan and who will woo the client and then the corporate team can i get
06:53somebody that's happy to be a sub team leader on that side i don't mind putting myself up for
06:57sub team looking at the previous market task yeah thoroughly enjoyed it and we i've done a very good
07:02job there so i mean our sub team leader two tasks ago for the corporate i'm happy to do it
07:06again
07:07didn't you get a really good negotiation on the one i did yes yes i think that you absolutely smashed
07:13that
07:13yeah so i think it's best for roger to be a sub team leader i'm more than happy brilliant
07:20she's definitely made a mistake there i think i'm one of the strongest sellers in the group however
07:24i think me and raj will leave this one and get the deal done obviously pricing is really important i
07:30obviously want to make sure that you negotiate a really good prize okay try and go as high as you
07:34can happy perfect good corporate side i'm going to put lawrence dan and priesh arranging her bunch
07:44with lawrence as the sub team lead project manager vanessa i put a lot of trust into you you're going
07:51to please the corporate client and make sure you understand everything they want just understand
07:54their vibe we're going to go in there we're going to listen about the business we're going to establish
07:58what they want we're going to discuss the types of flowers that we could add into that installation
08:01we're then going to see how we can match the two together once we've listened to them
08:05we're then going to decide on a price we're going to push for as much as we can without over
08:09promising
08:09yeah and then we're going to get a clear idea of exactly what they're expecting awesome please please
08:15please do not go there and oversell overdo over promise actually one thing i just don't like yes
08:21what we're not going to do at any point is offer perfection because if there is one leaf out of
08:26place and we've offered perfection someone's going home
08:29team alpha let's get it guys
08:3611am teams divide
08:41well i mean being sub team leader this this week i mean i'll hopefully i can bring some
08:45fresh ideas we hope so too mate
08:48well what i do know is i've got the right suit for the job
08:57nice to meet you at a floral studio so i hold my foliage so i go filler flower flower okay
09:07yeah
09:08after a crash course in bouquet building as you can see you've got none of your same flowers touching
09:15each other it's amazing yeah looking for ways to keep down costs obviously we're going for pastels as we can
09:22see certain flowers are a little bit
09:23more but filler flowers luckily aren't too expensive project manager rossner guys do you like this
09:34hydrations hydrangeas so that is very nice we'd have to see how much they are though hydrangea that's one pound
09:4075 so that would be our most expensive yeah item there but then it's bulk it'll bulk it out yeah
09:45okay and then i would like to add a bit of foliage just to bulk it up a bit with
09:49the leaves
09:50eucalyptus eucalyptus is 30 people 30 people i definitely want quite a lot of them yeah adding
09:55extra foliage usually is cheaper and it's a profit task i ideally don't want each bouquet to be any more
10:01than about eight pounds i'm just slightly worried we have too many fillers and not enough like actual
10:06flour can we take maybe one of them or one of them out and add another flower i actually agree
10:10with you
10:10but i just would rather have a bit more greenery i think at the moment we're being a bit too
10:16price
10:16focused as much as we want to use things that are a bit cheaper to make a profit we've also
10:21got to use
10:22things that are pretty and people going to want to buy i'm just a bit concerned at the moment it
10:26just
10:27looks a bit flat okay so what are we thinking it still looks quite thin on the ground i just
10:32think
10:32this looks really nice across town right guys what i want us to do is look for the bright tropical
10:41colors
10:41just make it really fun selecting stems for their bold bouquets i was thinking even if we have
10:47one or two premium flowers team tropical this is a premium one to be fair but the color is gorgeous
10:56that is quite expensive anthurium is two pounds i'm happy with that chico leaves they give me tropical
11:03vibes okay cool we have the rock veronicas i've got one two three four veronicas i like the shape
11:08the shape that's quite cute it looks very tropical but it's not full for me yeah there seems to be
11:13not enough big flowers can i get one more please i think this yellow is not the right yellow yeah
11:20if
11:20we say for example this yellow that is 175 a flower i think for 175 is quite expensive i like
11:26the color
11:26yeah can i get two more of them yellow ones yeah yeah it was a little bit like bringing kids
11:33to the
11:33shop and just telling them to show in whatever flowers they like i think our cost price is extremely
11:37high so i'm extremely worried about our margins girls look at this quickly do you see the vision
11:43can it work can we sell it as tropical yeah so that's roughly 16 pounds okay is this what you
11:48envisioned yeah
11:52west london i can smell your fragrance already it's beautiful
11:56oh good pitching flowers for an event hosted by fragrance brand conach this is our english
12:03countryside fragrance the main thing to understand about it is that it's elegant and says british
12:08luxury absolutely salesman rajan i think we've got a fantastic idea of how we can make this really
12:16special for you my vision for you if it's if it's capturing your guests on the way in then potentially
12:21an arch it's the wow shot as they're coming in with a lovely kind of like an archway it would
12:26be a
12:27fantastic kind of backdrop we could really capture the essence of your brand you know people can hold
12:32your fragrance under the arch the colors we can entwine with your you know your branding already
12:38i love that idea now in terms of costs for the full arch it would be three thousand it's a
12:44little
12:44bit above our budget is there anything you can do what we could do we could have foliage around the
12:49bottom yeah and then the flowers coming over that could then bring the price down with that being
12:54said i think the best price i could really go to would be two thousand two hundred we still might
12:59need to come down about just a little bit if we could shake on two thousand okay we could shake
13:04two thousand okay yeah amazing i'm happy with how the meeting went you know kieran was a little bit
13:10disruptive felt like i had it under wraps um so yeah a little bit disappointed there but overall i think
13:17you know we secured a good price in terms of the price i think we've done pretty well i can
13:22not skimp
13:22on the really expensive flowers yeah it's not so important i mean they're an english countryside brand
13:27it's less rather than more yeah across town what we want to do is create a floral installation
13:35something high fashion opulent a show-stopping piece hoping to stage a sale with a west end show
13:43something that we were thinking about was a flower wall it could be like two devil horns i would
13:48just bring it back to as long as it feels high fashion and glamorous pr man lawrence we know that
13:56what we're going to offer is is that glamour and that sort of high class element we were looking for
14:01this about three and a half thousand we've done this before and we would expect to pay about 750 pounds
14:06for a flower installation right i i don't think 750 is kind of where we were looking at and i
14:14don't
14:14want to promise perfection if we want to stick with the premium flowers we are looking about the 2 000
14:19pound mark or we can slightly dampen down the quality of the flowers we can get that to about 1500.
14:25i don't think we can sacrifice on quality as long as it's quality as long as it's show-stopping
14:30the final price would be 1500. brilliant thank you so much thank you so much the client was really
14:37clear with their brief they wanted something that was show-stopping glamorous and lawrence
14:41interestingly thought he'd go in and offer the client something that wasn't perfection that didn't
14:45really feel like a proper negotiation and almost risked them the deal i know we've obviously had to
14:51promise show-stopping i don't know about you fellas but i'm not a florist i'm not going to be
14:55delivering the best of the best 4 p.m next for vanessa how many do you think we should be
15:02making
15:02tomorrow i want to go around the 40 to 50. decide how many poses to push to the public
15:11i would want to be a little bit more adventurous and like just be brave enough to go for 60
15:15maybe 10
15:15more selling for 50 pounds each that could be 500 pounds more there's a huge risk to get 10 more
15:20we
15:20don't know what the market's going to be like tomorrow there's a lot of what-ifs i would push for
15:2460
15:24i don't know if it's um i i do agree you know it's a pm decision but if we got
15:30more we sell more
15:31it's a risk though isn't it none of us are floral experts we don't know how long that's going to
15:35take it's a lot of waste if we get it wrong yeah um so i'm going to take a massive
15:40risk let's go for 60
15:42bouquets so i think the safest option we're not super experienced so i would say that we should aim to
15:51make
15:5145. for rosner flower order firmed up hi roger how are you how's things a chance to check in
16:01we managed to secure a price of two thousand pounds okay that's great we've pitched to them a flower
16:10arch they want to go with like a lovely english garden meadow yep and like foliage and like wild
16:16kind of like cheap cheap cheap yeah cheap cheap cheap lots of greenery you said yeah yeah yeah
16:22lots of greenery and with like sprinkles of like flowers okay brilliant thank you very much bye
16:29i'm quite happy that they've decided on a lot of green foliage because i think we've you know that's the
16:34cheapest i think i understand what they're going for they're basically what something like this on an arch yeah
16:42so we've ended up with a flower wall they were tough negotiators touching base with her team
16:48they started with 750 we've walked away with 1500 project manager vanessa
16:59and something to do with fashion so you know it has to look nice one thing to mention as well
17:06dan
17:06suggested like the devil horns and then you know people could take a picture in between it but we're
17:11happy to leave the sort of creative aspect to you okay cool i'll just be very clear again the most
17:17important thing is that they wanted quality that's the clear brief we've got they don't want us skimping
17:24on anything okay awesome yeah i mean i'm a little bit nervous about that because i did say we should
17:29be definitely transparent and not over promised but show-stopping opulent they obviously have a very
17:36very they've got briefs that that needs to be hit basically i think because dan obviously spoke about
17:41the devil horns and it sounded like an idea that they were into it's a safe bet to go with
17:46that
17:48these two greenery we're going to need quite a bit of so so are we saying 100 of these 100
17:52of these
17:52yeah i think so i just think we're going a bit too stingy on the flower oh wait okay we
17:56have
17:56sold this for 2 000 pounds okay now let's just add the entire total up yeah the total is 219
18:02pounds 70
18:03if you've sold a flower installation for 2 000 pounds the average florist will spend about 500
18:10on flowers well this team have only spent 220 i'm worried they haven't ordered enough we've got so
18:16much for leo okay hopefully all look good
18:216 p.m i think that they'll love that and it's a show stopper designs done i'm hoping that we
18:28can
18:28absolutely smash this out of the park so we're not hoping we are going to smash it let's go
18:32let's go everyone tomorrow pedal pedals to pull in a profit
18:436 a.m west london wow today teams must transform flowers right let's get some
18:52yeah into bunches of cash my whole aim going into this was keep costs though filling in her followers
18:59project manager rosner i hope the flowers meet your expectations yeah we've got 45 bouquets to make
19:07costing wise per bouquet how much did you say and the actual flowers was eight pound 95 per bouquet and
19:12then
19:12the arch was 219 pounds 70. that's really good so obviously we spent 219 pound on the arch which is
19:19really cheap how many flowers did you order 410. okay a little bit concerned about the amount of
19:26flowers they actually ordered we negotiate a 2 000 pound price for this archway the customers are
19:32expecting big things we'll have to just try and improvise as best as we can because it's mainly foliage
19:37i think try and get as much of the foliage done as possible because you're going for that whimsical
19:41enchanted kind of vibe downstairs so this was our final bouquet we ordered for 60 bouquets
19:49setting out her vision with this you need to move incredibly fast if we're trying to make
19:54what 60 of them vanessa however the priority is the corporate client for me personally because that is
20:01a guaranteed money right there so we have actually designed something for you guys this is what we have
20:06we decided to go with some horns which are made up of coronations and red roses um and then what
20:13we have in the sky we're going to have the hindrangers um as clouds yeah the only thing to note
20:18in the
20:18corporate team is precision and density around the horns so they're clearly horns otherwise it'll just look
20:23like a mess my issue with the flower wall design is that the corporate client might find it a bit
20:29too
20:29gimmicky so they might think of it as a halloween element to it but that's the design that the team
20:33have come up with and that's what we have to go with so karishma dan and priyash are going to
20:38work
20:38on the flower wall and lorence will be moving over to bouquets i will be floating in between both so
20:43i'm picking up anything that's like doesn't look right but let's get going
20:50don't worry too much about the length but you want it to be a decent level so that they're sticking
20:53out
20:53okay nine a.m each of them will look a bit different but as long as to your eye it
20:58looks
20:59nice okay while rothner's team race ahead so far we've got 12 bouquets done i just want to get as
21:05many done as possible ideally we want it to kind of end up looking like this focusing on finesse
21:11it's very thin lines for making it look messy yeah which has to be very careful team tropical
21:18how about my first attempt yeah i'm gonna help you just rearrange it because if you look at the
21:24height okay when you're doing it it's also nice to kind of turn it around so you have an equal
21:28spread
21:28of flowers also just ask each other is that fine guys yeah i do think that one sticks out like
21:35a bit
21:36of a sore farm how are you guys doing are you guys okay yeah we're just about made four yeah
21:40okay we
21:41need to speed things up guys we got to get going over half an hour into making the flowers the
21:48team
21:48have only managed to produce four cookies but it don't seem very panicked at all i wouldn't have been
21:53taking it easy i would be running 100 miles an hour the most important part as well is having
21:58that play around with it at the end yeah the finesse yeah i find it is quite therapeutic to be
22:05fair
22:06yeah short on flowers to fill their arch i feel it's nice so far it's good the more we put
22:12on the better
22:13it's gonna look the other team oh no that's snapped off keep breaking these and i'm putting them into
22:21moss rape fiddly remember time is all the essence careful so we don't lose any flowers and whatnot yeah i'm
22:31just i've spilled some right done
22:50they only ordered just over 200 pounds worth of flowers for their whole arch and most of that is
22:55foliage so every stem counts they're all so heavy-handed though they're dropping them they're
23:01stepping on them they're breaking them i mean at this rate they're really not going to have enough
23:06to fill this arch it really needs packing out with flowers you know for two thousand pound it needs to
23:12be packed with the flower yeah you start doing the scenery first yeah so like around here yeah and then
23:20in
23:20the gaps we're going to put the birds of paradise okay leading on her team's devilish design if you
23:26stand here yeah the tail needs to start about here karishma we've done enough blue at the top so now
23:33let's concentrate at the bottom to fill in the green i don't want them to be much green yeah quickly
23:37sorry
23:38karishma yeah the blue we're supposed to only go in the sky i think you have enough i'm just using
23:43this to cover the green i'm gonna come and support you i feel like i need to be here right
23:47now okay cool
23:48we need to focus the flowers a little bit more lower just and then spread it out sporadic so make
23:53sure
23:53the back the bottom is covered yeah guys make sure you're pushing them in there's two are falling out
23:58of my hands and be mindful something like the tail shouldn't be covered okay guys spread them out spread
24:04them out come on faster these all need all these flowers need to be on yeah don't cut them too
24:10short
24:10don't cut them too short yeah it's very stressful it is very stressful and i'm a bit more stressed
24:16because vanessa's so stressed her stress is rubbing off on me i think vanessa needs to calm down maybe
24:20she should be on the bouquet team and not on our team you know the too many cooks mess up
24:25the broth
24:25or whatever it is that's what's happening today i shouldn't be able to see the ends coming out of here
24:30it's not that's not good enough
24:35mid-morning we've hit the quantity and let's put it into bucket and let's go i love that let's do
24:40that
24:41we've got 24 here two people can be working the back to finish some more my main focus now is
24:46getting out because now we're just costing ourselves but we need to start moving stuff yeah let's get
24:50everything going while half of each team pack up their corporate orders oh be careful be careful be
24:56no wait it's bending it's bending man stop stop play down the rest head off to market
25:05so my strategy out there is to try and sell for as high as we possibly can
25:10i think we'll be good yeah go on go 49.99 all right let's do 49.99 and i'm confident
25:16we're going to sell
25:18these battersea power station oh it's so busy base for both teams to flog their flowers
25:26mega do you want to get on the chalkboard yeah and write down the price put down 49.99 for
25:31now
25:32giving their budget bouquets a premium price tag
25:35ladies and gentlemen go get your flowers rothner's country garden crew
25:42hello can i introduce you some fresh flowers these are hydrogens and so they're like pink gorgeous
25:48fresh flowers to treat yourself or your loved ones just a special deal for you really so beautiful
25:55what are you thinking 49.99 it's a little too high for me okay maybe i'll put a few in
25:59your hair
26:01can i interest you in fresh bouquets flowers it's a tough crowd out here hello i see smiles up there
26:10why don't you come over and treat yourself this is tough tough tough are we like scaring people away this
26:16yeah i'm quite concerned just because the momentum isn't there i didn't listen to kira when he mentioned
26:22the 49.99 i think now i'm going to be mindful of what he is saying and just kind of
26:26take back the
26:27rain a little bit and make sure that i stick to the pricing strategy that i feel is best
26:30yeah so i think 49.99 is just a little bit expensive so i think we should just go in
26:36and try
26:36and sell it for 40 pounds what do you think oh change on the board 40 pounds it is okay
26:44across the shopping center we have tropical flowers here one day only make your day for the other team

27:43naturally are more sort of salesy people but i can't fault the effort we've just got to shift as
27:48many as we can they are really lovely what type of flowers are they um so they are tropical okay
27:54exactly what it says on the tin west london oh be careful one sec one sec one sec put the
28:01knot on
28:01then it's holding held in place delivering on yesterday's promises to the fragrance brand hello hi guys
28:07how you doing loving to see you amanda how are you hi rajan's corporate crew here is what we've
28:14created for you what do you think okay oh let's have a look the overall vibe you've nailed it it's
28:21nice
28:21that it feels natural but i was definitely expecting more flowers based on our conversation but we just
28:28thought you know what why not just put a little bit less flowers here and work up towards more the
28:32built up
28:32flowers like in the middle so it's like the blooming i don't know two thousand pounds is pushing it
28:37i would be happier with a little bit less so i'm thinking what do you think amanda 1500 1500 yes
28:45we
28:45didn't know if you wanted to um have some bouquets for your guests there's obviously eight people what
28:51about if we say 1800 including the bouquets i think and then i think we will be very happy thank
28:58you very
28:58much thank you thank you thank you so much thank you so much i'm feeling pretty chuffed with what
29:04we've achieved i mean we did give them the bouquets of flowers a goodwill gesture but in the grand
29:09scheme of things it's cost us 40 pounds cost price so i think we firefighted very well there
29:14at least we got a sale yeah let's go make that 200 pound bag yeah that's right yeah let's go
29:19let's go across town it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's not showcasing their vibrant
29:28vision do you mean break one move the flowers that actually don't step on them please vanessa's team
29:36they look more like wings hello hi guys so we thought what can we do to really symbolize devil
29:45as prada so we've gone with the horns for you to demonstrate yeah of course what is your first
29:50impression um okay um do we think those reader's horns i think it definitely gives some symbolism
29:59of devil yeah for sure remember the tail coming out of the back so i did say inspiration from high
30:06fashion okay can you talk me through which elements you feel are high fashion here um with high fashion
30:12i definitely didn't get that passed on but i think with the of the bright colors you really
30:16can't walk past this and miss it for me this clashes it's just not this show and it's not this
30:21brief
30:21so we can't honor that original quote so um yeah if possible if you do like i know we said
30:271500 are
30:28we able to get to the 1200 mark look we'll recognize the labor and the time and can offer you
30:33a thousand
30:33pounds for it ultimately this isn't something that we're going to use i'm a little bit disappointed
30:39because i definitely mentioned to the boys do not over promise and understand exactly what they're
30:43looking for and that was completely ignored well unfortunately yeah that was they could have
30:50literally said do you know what we're not willing to pay for anything yeah i think to lose out of
30:55500
30:55is i have to be able to just i'll take it mid-afternoon all right team let's huddle are we
31:03saying it's best to
31:04just plug it all at 30 quid otherwise we're going to be left with a lot of flowers still pruning
31:10back
31:10prices as long as we sell them for around 20 quid minimum we're making profit rothner's sales squad
31:18this is my special one i make myself look how beautiful they are it's the biggest one i could find
31:23that's stunning how much they're 30 pounds today yes we'll have amazing right okay so the price is 30
31:32pounds for them please and that will be 30 pounds 30 pounds you're bad why don't you meet me and
31:38we're
31:38going to do 27.50 come on yeah 27.50 amazing the least i can do is 25 today okay
31:45okay deal perfect
31:46how about two for 20 each oh you drive a hard bargain all right fine down to 20 pounds yeah
31:55we've got a bunch of flowers for you for 20 pounds so yeah so two for 40. thanks so much
32:02it's going really good we're making quite a few sales now my only worry is are we going a bit
32:06too
32:06low sometimes but i think the most important thing is just trying to sell it because if we take a
32:10lot of
32:10stuff home then we're just not going to make any money at all and we're not going to get any
32:13profit
32:14the best that i can do today from 30 is 20. 80. 19 pounds and we'll shake on it okay
32:21okay perfect
32:25on the other team all right guys i think we're doing really well we're starting to really get
32:30these sales coming through rethinking roles we have six bouquets left do we think at least one of us
32:37should focus on bouquet creation now i do think that's a good idea lawrence
32:42i'm going to put you two guys onto making some bouquets okay so do you want the two girls to
32:47just
32:47stay there and just bang bang bang yeah we will focus on the sales if you guys can make them
32:51and
32:51really throw them together so people are going to enjoy watching you make them i can see this in your
32:56living room in your kitchen area they're tropical it's a flash of summer can i run around if i make
33:01more no make more we don't have any so could i ask for a 50p tip for the smile
33:07thank you so much now so 25.85 perfect and then the wonderful pasture is going to hand you a
33:14fresh
33:14bouquet thank you so much have a lovely rest your day thank you sorry i have this nice couple that
33:18have been waiting for some time give us a second i think the excitement of the selling and the market
33:26has got to lawrence no one else is making bouquets apart from me and krishma the boys are sort of
33:31out
33:31there trying to sell which is fine but we're running out of bouquets we don't have any made
33:35and it doesn't look great could you as well just tidy up just a tiny bit just so it doesn't
33:40look quite
33:40so messy thank thank you hello ladies
33:465 pm corporate orders fulfilled they're absolutely beautiful they are stunning yeah for both teams
33:53how about we do 50 pounds yeah yeah a chance to flog leftover flowers to trade we've been selling
34:01these at 40 pounds for bouquet i'll take them all for 40 quid we'll shake on that
34:08fresh and freshly packed bouquets you'll never see again 20 minutes till sales must cease
34:15last bunch of flowers fresh out of stock right guys we are officially out over this side for
34:22rothner's team we've got a few leaves there if you want to bunch them together a plan to flog foliage
34:28sell them for whatever you can but make a little cute bunch please thank you amazing
34:33she picked us put it in the shower the hot steam comes up they've sold out but there's still so
34:39many
34:39people here who want to buy flowers clearly they just didn't make enough they could have sold an awful
34:46lot more bouquets for a higher price what a missed opportunity 10 minutes to go down to 21 pounds in
34:53total yeah for both teams a final push i love one of my own face for the flowers i want
34:59to try and get
34:59some sales out i understand that but we just need to make them up as quickly as possible so we're
35:04selling
35:04two pound 50 is that okay right we're charging you two pounds alone can i get three cheers for our
35:09last
35:10customers of the day see you later thank you so much
35:20trading over we managed to sell absolutely everything out yeah guys let's hope it was enough
35:28i'm a little bit apprehensive that we obviously dropped the price quite low that could come back and
35:32bite me but that still made a profit every single bouquet sold so i feel quite proud listen guys i
35:38know
35:38people are keen to try and sell more but actually you getting behind and actually doing it drew more
35:42sales in we have some expensive stock left over my only fear yeah my biggest concern was that we
35:49wouldn't be able to make 60 bouquets and sell 60 bouquets i'm feeling extremely apprehensive we have too
35:53much excess stock and i think it's going to really affect our bottom line oh there's so many beautiful flowers
35:58winners tonight profits processed tomorrow for one team the sweet smell of success
36:14krishma how are you feeling this morning i feel like no one's immune from being thrown under the bus
36:19big time we needed more bouquets so like me and krishma were focusing a lot on making bouquets
36:23so yeah i'm a little bit worried i don't know you know but i'm feeling very confident my flowers are
36:30fire we were hearing that your flowers are pretty dull and boring look in the boardroom today it's all
36:35gonna be weeded out yeah going to the boardroom i'm actually pretty confident i really got a chance to
36:47show everybody that i'm a worthy enough candidate i did what i was asked to do by a pm of
36:51course i have
36:52doubts in my mind about decisions i've made but ultimately i'll stand by them i know i could
36:57have performed better but win or lose i'm not going anywhere you can go through to the boardroom now
37:18so let's see how you went in this um war of the roses we'll start with eclipse
37:28rossner you became the project manager of eclipse is that right yes so i actually really wanted um
37:35country garden just because it's a profit task and i knew that filler flowers and foliage would be my
37:40main focus for this task yeah this is a typical bouquet of yours yeah yes
37:47oh thank you yeah thank you so much so this no disrespect is the cheaper end of the market some
37:58of
37:58this stuff yeah yeah i knew that because of i've worked with eucalyptus before and i know that they're
38:03great filler flowers that make a bouquet look a lot bigger than they are and you could actually charge
38:07a lot more yeah um for it rothner was really keen that it looked substantial it didn't cost very much
38:14yeah hmm okay and you don't think that's a little bit dull you know it's like that keir starmer
38:21would buy his wife for my birthday it's a bit boring is it boring yeah i think it looks a
38:26beautiful bouquet
38:27and i would buy it and have it in my home um so you spent 400 pounds i heard on
38:35this uh which came
38:37out that eight pound 88 per bouquet right were you involved in making them up uh kieran i heard you're
38:43a
38:44bit uh uh unstable in flower arranging yeah i spilt some flowers a few times spilt them you stepped on
38:52them you broke them you had the touch of an elephant and they were quite flimsy so they kept snapping
38:58but we got there in the end you had all the finesse of uh an airport baggage holder i was
39:04told
39:05yeah yeah megan what were you doing in this task um i was making the bouquets or sugar right and
39:12um
39:12i understood that you had difficulty in pronouncing the names of some of the flowers yeah it wasn't my
39:18strongest area i must admit yeah not hydrangeas hydrogens yeah oh yeah thank god he wasn't
39:26selling fuchsias yeah yeah moving on the corporate team i led the sub team so we went to meet the
39:34client
39:34in the morning um this is the client that does the fragrances correct yeah chronic they were called
39:39right so you started negotiating with the client and i think you went in at something like three and a
39:44half
39:44grand and three thousand three thousand yeah so i went into the pitch with that money forget a flower
39:51arch you need marble arch yeah i think the client's all that too yeah so i wanted to go in
39:57high um
39:57knowing that they would bring me down and i got them up to two thousand right we then presented the
40:02arch to the client they then proceeded on to say that you know they think that the two thousand pounds
40:08was a bit excessive on their end and then andrea came out with a great idea luckily we had some
40:12of the
40:12bouquets that the other team prepared for us we then shook on 1800 pounds including the bouquets
40:18i have to say i thought it looked good oh thank you right now what about the actual bouquets who
40:24was
40:24out selling them it was myself harry and megan yep and kieran i've got some figures here 49.99 yeah
40:32so
40:32on the way there kieran was quite confident having looked at the bouquet he can push for 49.99 now
40:37for
40:37me did you ever sell one at that price no we didn't we then went to 40 didn't sell one
40:41people were
40:42like avoiding us like the plague we were pretty worried at the beginning because we started so
40:46high and we were like we're not going to sell any of these but then we actually were selling them
40:49like hotcakes they were they were flying off the shelves all right okay let's move on to the other
40:55team uh alpha right now vanessa you put yourself forward as a project manager yeah yeah yeah um i
41:05wanted to try something new you wanted to prove yourself i guess so yeah i just quite i like trying
41:09new things you went for the tropical yeah thing yeah because i really wanted to push boundaries i
41:14don't think it's the stuff that you see every day okay and um this would be your bouquet yeah this
41:22is
41:22the typical like tropical yeah expensive yeah yeah so this is not a cheap bunch it's not they went for
41:30the stuff you find in the garden that you normally run your lawnmower over to get rid of
41:36um they're very bright very colorful but from what i can see you spent a hell of a lot of
41:42money
41:42on them how many are we going to make so initially i wanted to make 40 to 50 so about
41:4845 and the team
41:49convinced me that we should go for the 60 because they believe that they could sell but because we
41:53ended up only making four bouquets in an hour we had to end up making a majority of our bouquets
41:59at the stall itself which meant two man down for selling so how many did you make i believe there
42:06was 20 made by the end what were you doing growing them from seeds or what yeah it was quite
42:12painful
42:12to watch there wasn't that much organization was there but Vanessa was trying to go i really was
42:17trying but anyway your client that you were going to pitch to is the um theater right and currently running
42:26the devil wears prada is that right yeah yeah so what did they want they kept using the words
42:32show-stopping and opulent and and high-end fashion i think is what they wanted yeah yeah but then they
42:38want something to do with the devil horns and things like that yeah and we we did put that in
42:43the final
42:43design we suggested that dan i believe or we will give them pretty much free reign to do what we
42:49like
42:49okay and how much did you end up agreeing we started off at 3 000 they said 750. um it
42:56was i
42:56understood i was being lowballed but we doubled that 750 to 1500. right okay what did the client
43:02think when they saw the wall we put it up and the corporate client was not too pleased um so
43:08i mean
43:08i've got a picture of it i mean don't look great does it this wall it looks like elton john's
43:14qr code
43:17yeah um explain to me where the horns are it's the two red things at the top these two things
43:24here
43:25you're saying yeah really anyway what did they say financially because you'd agreed 1500 pounds
43:32so they were saying essentially that they can't use it um they're not happy with it but they're willing
43:38to offer us um essentially we got down to a thousand okay yeah i mean we still more than doubled
43:45our doubled our money on it yeah all right let's move on a little bit here now what about the
43:51main
43:51bulk of your uh bouquets then we sold out of the bouquets that we brought with us and then myself
43:58and
43:58karishma were pretty much making bouquets on the spot we had a severe amount of excess stock
44:04hmm right well the last thing we need to do is to read out the results so tim tell me
44:15what alpha
44:15spent yes the team spent a lot it came to a total of 1436 pounds and 25 pence right and
44:24what were the
44:25sales their total sales were 2 000 pounds and 84 pence that gave them a total profit of 564 pounds
44:32and 59
44:33pence profitable anyway so karen same question to you well uh eclipse spent a lot less uh 620 pounds and
44:4450
44:45pence and they also sold a lot more uh 2792.50 giving them a good profit of 2172 pounds
44:59good so well done you won off you go thank you thank you thank you very much well done guys
45:05thank you
45:05thank you
45:19right well unfortunately um you lost i would take a leaf out of a gardener's book
45:27and would say it's time to remove the deadheads
45:32off you go thank you
45:42oh
45:43hey get in
45:45he nailed it honestly i am so so proud those numbers compared to the other team as well they
45:52know it was so small i obviously think out all the tasks we've done and out of all the pms
45:56that was
45:56such a clear plan everything was perfect i think it was amazing big win big win you smashed that
46:10ultimately the the failure of the task comes down to not knowing the full brief from the um corporate
46:14client because when they asked me about high fashion i didn't have a response for it i looked silly
46:18with all due respect when i opened the call i think that information is being said
46:23i believe that as sub team leader lawrence needs to take some ownership because when it comes down to
46:28it we missed what the client wanted completely he was the leader of that group so something has to
46:32come from there even if we got the full 1500 pounds we'd have still lost and i think really the
46:38failure of this task is because the price of the flowers 16 pounds cost to make a bouquet of flowers
46:43if that's a lot of money i mean literally all of the profit from this task has come from the
46:47corporate team so if i get sent home i can walk away with my head held high but i'd be
46:51pissed off
46:52i did want to keep the price low every single time i kind of brought it up it was it
46:56looks cheap
46:56let's go for x y and z let's go for x y honestly i don't think the biggest fault was
47:00in the pricing
47:01strategy we came there with so much excess stock that was left over at the end vanessa was easily
47:07swayed by karishma who wanted to go with the 60 units and didn't listen to the practical advice
47:10and the worries that i had about excess stock i mean essentially we can go around around around this
47:14table so let's just go in there and all the best
47:27yes can you send the candidates in please
47:40well if i was a condolence card i'd be telling you sorry for your terrible loss
47:48because it was a terrible loss you got whacked by 1600 pounds you spent 962
47:57pounds 50 on all the materials to make your bouquets your takings on the bouquets were 950
48:06pounds 84 so you made a loss of 11 pounds 66 just on the bouquets alone i think what we
48:15were doing is
48:15finding flowers originally that were aesthetic and nice yeah which is what me and pasha were doing is
48:20trying to make a bouquet that was presentable they were panicking away they were a little sugar
48:24it's like buying flowers at a garage on mother's day morning you know panicking it was quite clear
48:29they were just throwing flowers to make a bouquet look pretty they focused on pretty but didn't focus
48:35on profit that's a very good point yeah and even worse still out of the 962 pounds that you spent
48:44at the end you threw some stock away didn't you a huge amount of stock so we had enough to
48:48make 60
48:49we only made 43 bouquets which is my biggest concern here 272 pounds of excess stock laid over so i
48:57wanted to go for 60 because i thought we would have made more before we entered the market but because
49:02we were under so much pressure to make bouquets while we were there they missed half the clients that we
49:06could have got if me and pasha were also selling yeah but anyway moving on the corporate team you
49:13spent 473 pounds on that bloody stupid wall it was more like the hanging gardens of bethnal green
49:21just for your reference after you left they chucked it out that's how good it was yeah right so who
49:28was
49:28who built the wall um dan priesh myself and dan and priesh yeah bill and ben the flower pot
49:36men um they're not on one point any of them say this is not what the client's looking for we
49:42did at
49:42one point give the idea of the i think dan gave the ideas to the client with the two devil
49:46horns and
49:47the tail and they didn't say no to the idea you know that wall was a disaster um and the
49:53negotiation
49:54for it was ridiculous i am i understand lord sugar i mean we we doubled from where we were it's
50:01not
50:01perfect i will hold my hands up to that doubled but you didn't get it did you we when you
50:06find when
50:06you finally turn up with that um thing they only give you a thousand quid don't they um so where
50:12do you think the failure of this task lays with them i think ultimately on the other side here partly
50:17because we we did make a profit on our on our particular product although it was bad we did make
50:22where do you think it lays connor i do you think it lies with us i do you think it
50:25lies i think it
50:26lies who out of you for then do you think i think ultimately vanessa you made the decision on the
50:31bouquet
50:31and then i do think karishma you ultimately influenced vanessa to go up higher i don't
50:35think 160 pounds on an extra 10 broke the camel's back i don't think that was a point of failure
50:40i
50:41think it's okay to say krishma also did that but you guys still took very long to make it
50:45right well vanessa who are you bringing back into this boardroom i'd have to definitely bring somebody
50:52back from both sides and this side i'm gonna have to bring pasha back and i can give the reasons
50:56after
50:57i'm happy to do that and i think on this side um i'm gonna have to lawrence i think you
51:02being the
51:02sub leader could have definitely pushed it out a bit more right okay the rest of you go back to
51:10the
51:10house thank you
51:19right um well i'm going to talk to tim who was with you all of the time baroness brady knows
51:27you
51:28uh and um at least one of you is going to be leaving the process today okay thank you
51:44well what do you have to say tim you were with them i'm slightly confused with vanessa one why
51:49she's brought in pasha pasha did well throughout this task she was really enthusiastic and everything
51:55that was signed off with regards to the flowers was vanessa's fault they lost this by spending too
52:00much on flowers and not thinking about how they were going to make it back and what about our friend
52:04lawrence here the disappointing thing for me about lawrence is that he says look we made money
52:10but he actually left a lot of money on the table he disappointed the client and his flower wall
52:15ended up in the bin yeah okay
52:20yes could you send the three of them in please
52:33right well um vanessa um tell me why did you bring her back in here
52:38so the reason why i brought pasha back was because um she was key at instrument in me picking
52:44the flowers even once we picked me picking the flowers no sorry as in the team picking the flowers
52:48she was pushing for the more expensive ones when i picked the cheaper alternative she was saying no
52:52i completely disagree and i am shocked that i'm sat here honestly i think vanessa is just coming up
53:00with excuses honestly to back herself there was no strategy no decision at all laurence
53:05in this particular task there was certain artistry about it that i don't think you took the ambiance of
53:14the theater into account you sold something the client didn't want i mean lord sugar i still doubled
53:21our money i mean it's disappointing who should be fired then um i think ultimately it is vanessa i think
53:27what a lot of thing is obviously i put myself in this position to lead this thing with when i
53:31have no
53:31experience on it no price no costing strategy let me just finish what i'm saying i put myself in a
53:37position to be the pm of this task i couldn't easily do this thing where a lot of people are
53:41doing waiting for the perfect task i wanted to challenge myself as something i've never done
53:44before well i do tell people don't get involved in running something which you've got no experience
53:49honestly if i didn't put my hand up nobody would have put their hand up it's easy for a lot
53:53of
53:53people to hide behind the person who puts themselves behind them in all honesty i think we're
53:58halfway through the process passion has not pulled herself forward for anything but she jumps on the
54:01back of a lot of things if it sounds good she's happy to go with it and if it doesn't
54:05work out
54:05i've pulled my weight in every single task i've been a backbone of pretty much every task i've done
54:11what i've been told to do to the best of my ability we can all say what we've done from
54:14task one to now
54:15i'm not going to each each and every single task i've also put myself out there i never ever stay
54:20silent i'm not a background person i'm not a background person either who do you think should be fired
54:24i think vanessa should be fired honestly in the market i was making bouquets i took that initiative
54:29because we didn't have enough bouquets i told you you had to do the bouquets yeah but from the
54:35minute we got there i was doing bouquets and selling as well the issue is that flowers you
54:39guys didn't make enough you weren't helping us in the morning making them i helped you do a few
54:43and i went over to the other side because i had to be in between both there was no leadership
54:47just one
54:48thing i want to add i i did work across both teams as well and on both days i had
54:52a clear strategy
54:53neither of the days did the strategy fall apart i do have to say like i have learned my lessons
54:58from
54:58this but right listen i think i've heard enough i'm going to conclude here um pasha i um don't quite
55:07understand vanessa's uh choosing you to come back here yeah but um your team was responsible for
55:16making the bouquets and buying the flowers and it's quite clear that far too much was spent there
55:23there was no cost strategy yeah i don't want to hear any more from anybody sorry
55:29lawrence you completely and utterly lost the plot you didn't realize this was a very artistic type of
55:36thing that these people wanted and you made them a very ugly wall
55:44vanessa i don't think you led this team very well at all in fact i think far too much money
55:51was spent
55:52on flowers and also the manufacturing of the bouquets was a joke a complete and utter joke
56:01and and on that basis vanessa you're fired thank you very much
56:08good luck good luck
56:18lawrence
56:19yes you'll stay in this process pasha you'll stay in the process also thank you simply because
56:27i i can't see what you did wrong in this task me neither doesn't mean that i haven't got my
56:34eyes
56:34on you okay go back to the house thank you lord sugar baron's ready to
56:42what's the decision there's only one decision we could make
56:47i took a big risk and put myself for something i've never done before and i'm not regretful about
56:52that i think i'm an amazing person and i think i'll definitely go far in life
56:56i think vanessa's coming back i've got a feeling what was she like in the ballroom she held herself
57:01very well she was composed but she didn't take account of it she didn't take account of it was
57:05laurence and pasha shocked that they were brought back yeah i was quite surprised with who vanessa
57:09picked but i have no idea who's coming back or which way this will go but i don't want to
57:13see
57:13any more flowers ever again yeah there was no way who else is coming is it just you
57:25you look like you've been through it mate what happened it was pretty brutal to be honest with you
57:34i mean i do feel like i've i've used the life up there like i didn't get any grilling in
57:40there
57:40he literally was saying to vanessa i don't understand why pasha is sat here if anyone is in
57:45that position as project manager if you're bringing back the wrong people lord sugar's gonna see right
