00:18it and then hit him it's a deal worth fighting for I can sense a bit of
00:22friction absolutely Daniels that on you no 20 candidates never been kicked in
00:29the bulls 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
00:59water action I want some movement look tough and rough Karishma's campaign
01:04packed a punch I really like that was electric the logo is north h2o while
01:11Connor's team struggled to stay afloat what are you doing now well it's just
01:15Ratha drinking the water again but we've already got that and in the boardroom the
01:20logo looks like a road sign on the m6 Roxanne you have a lot to answer to was
01:25filtered out you're fired I think everybody is on thin ice there's no room
01:30for hiding

02:14why would you do that for me
02:15i've not even got my nice pajamas on
02:19you're going to brush your teeth
02:20no no 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
03:32good 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
03:44levi thank you glad to be here nice first job is anyone interested in putting themselves
03:51forward as pm choose a chief florist well i just did it and i need i need a minute to
03:58get gather
03:59myself i'm my hand is blooming in the sky like a flower and i see no one else's hand i
04:04mean you put
04:05your head i didn't mind doing it but if you're up for it i'm up for it only because i
04:09haven't had a
04:09chance i like flowers i like good things but i also want to just be do something i haven't done
04:13before
04:13so this is an amazing challenge um i want to push myself completely in a new place and thrive
04:19there so 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
04:33what is your strategy that's my question let's get there in a second let me breathe all right we're
04:40kids across 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 just
05:05think i could grow them in my own garden in my personal opinion i feel like they look a bit
05:09like
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 the
05:19end of the day that's my priority but i just need you all to believe in it okay yeah amazing
05:23okay
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
05:36this is a profit task do you know what type of colors country garden is pastel colors like lilacs baby
05:42pink pretty 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 when
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
06:24it's time to like get the vibrancy out and i probably will go for tropical flowers that okay
06:28everyone yeah we have to 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 yeah you absolutely
07:13smashed
07:13that yeah yeah so i think it's best for roger to be a sub team leader i'm more than happy
07:17brilliant
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 go share a really good prize okay try and go as high as
07:34you
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
07:54your 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 also 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
08:26of place and we've offered perfection someone's going home team apple
08:30team alpha let's get it guys 11am teams divide
08:41well i mean being sub team leader this this week i mean hopefully i can bring some fresh ideas
08:46we hope so too mate well what i do know is i've got the right suit for the job
08:51i love it central london hi hi nice to meet you nice to meet you at a floral studio
09:02so i hold my foliage so i go filler flower flower okay yeah after a crash course in bouquet building
09:11as you can see you've got none of your same flowers touching each other it's amazing yeah
09:17looking for ways to keep down costs obviously we're going for pastels as we can see certain
09:22flowers are a little bit more but filler flowers luckily aren't too expensive project
09:27manager rossner guys do you like this hydrations hydrangeas so that is very nice we'd have to see
09:37how much they are though hydrangea that's 175 so that would be our most expensive yeah
09:42item there but then it's both it'll bulk it out yeah okay and then i would like to add a
09:47bit of
09:47foliage just to bulk it up a bit with the leaves eucalyptus is 30 people 30 30 percent
09:53him i definitely want quite a lot of them adding extra foliage usually is cheaper and it's a profit
09:58task i ideally don't want each bouquet to be any more than about eight pounds i'm just slightly
10:03worried we have too many fillers and not enough like actual flower can we take maybe one of them
10:07or one of them out and add another flower i actually agree with you but i just would rather have
10:12a bit
10:12more greenery i think at the moment we're being a bit too price focused as much as we want to
10:18use
10:19things that are a bit cheaper to make a profit we've also got to use things that are pretty and
10:23people going to want to buy i'm just a bit concerned at the moment it just looks a bit flat
10:27okay so
10:28what are we thinking it still looks quite thin on the ground i just think this looks really nice
10:36across town right guys what i want us to do is look for the the bright tropical colors just make
10:42it really fun selecting stems for their bold bouquets i was thinking even if we have one or two
10:48premium flowers team tropical this is a premium one to be fair but the color is gorgeous that is
10:57quite expensive anterium is two pounds i'm happy with that chico leaves they give me tropical vibes
11:03okay cool we have the rub veronicas i've got one two three four veronicas i like the shape the shape
11:08that's quite cute it looks very tropical but it's not full for me yeah there seems to be not enough
11:15big flowers can i get one more please i think this yellow is not the right yellow yeah if we
11:20say for
11:20example this yellow that is 175 a flower i think for 175 it's quite expensive i like the color yeah
11:27can i get two more of them yellow ones yeah yeah it was a little bit like bringing kids to
11:33the shop
11:33and just telling them to throw in whatever flowers they like i think our cost price is extremely high
11:38so i'm extremely worried about our margins girls look at this quickly do you see the vision can it
11:44work can we sell it as tropical yeah so that's roughly 16 pounds okay is this what you envisioned yeah
11:52west london i can smell your fragrance already beautiful oh good pitching flowers for an event
11:59hosted by fragrance brand conoch this is our english countryside fragrance the main thing to understand
12:06about it is that it's elegant and says british luxury absolutely salesman rajan
12:12i think we've got a fantastic idea of how we can make this really special for you my vision for
12:17you if it's if it's capturing your guests on the way in then potentially an arch it's the wow shot
12:23as
12:23they're coming in with a lovely kind of like an archway it would be a fantastic kind of backdrop
12:28we could really capture the essence of your brand you know people can hold your fragrance under the
12:34arch the colors we can entwine with your you know your branding already i love that idea yeah now in
12:40terms of costs for the full arch it would be 3 000. it's a little bit above our budget is
12:45there
12:45anything you can do what we could do we could have foliage around the bottom yeah and then the flowers
12:51coming over that could then bring the price down with that being said i think the best price i could
12:56really go to would be 2 200. we still might need to come down about just a little bit if
13:01we could shake
13:02on 2 000 okay we could shake them 2 000. okay yeah amazing i'm happy with how the meeting went
13:09you
13:09know kieran was a little bit disruptive felt like i had it under wraps um so yeah a little bit
13:15disappointed there but overall i think you know we secured a good price in terms of the price i think
13:20we've done pretty well i can not skimp on the really expensive flowers yeah it's not so important
13:26i mean they're an english countryside brand it's less rather than more yeah
13:31across town what we want to do is create a floral installation something high fashion opulent a
13:38show-stopping piece hoping to stage a sale with a west end show something that we were thinking about
13:45was a flower wall it could be like two double horns i would just bring it back to as long
13:49as it feels
13:50high fashion and glamorous pr man lawrence we know that what we're going to offer is is that glamour and
13:58that
13:58sort of high class element we were looking for this about three and a half thousand we've done this
14:04before and we would expect to pay about 750 pounds for a flower installation right i i don't think 750
14:11is kind of where we were looking at and i don't want to promise perfection if we want to stick
14:16with
14:16the premium flowers we are looking about the two thousand pound mark or we can slightly dampen down
14:21the quality of the flowers we can get that to about 1500 i don't think we can sacrifice on quality
14:27as
14:28long as it's quality as long as it's show-stopping final price would be 1500 brilliant thank you so
14:33thank you so much the client was really clear with their brief they wanted something that was show
14:39stopping glamorous and lawrence interestingly thought he'd go in and offer the client something that
14:43wasn't perfection that didn't really feel like a proper negotiation and almost risked them the deal
14:50i know we've obviously had to promise show-stopping i don't know about you fellas but i'm not a florist
14:54i'm not going to be delivering the best of the best 4pm next for vanessa how many do you think
15:02we
15:02should be making tomorrow i want to go around the 40 to 50. decide how many poses to push to
15:09the 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 more
15:16selling for 50 pounds each that could be 500 pounds more there's a huge risk to get 10 more we
15:20don't
15:21know what the market's going to be like tomorrow there's a lot of what ifs i would push for 60
15:24i
15:25don't know if it's um i i do agree you know it's a pm decision but if we got more
15:30we sell more it's a
15:31risk though isn't it none of us are floral experts we don't know how long that's going to take it's
15:35a lot
15:36of waste if we get it wrong yeah um so i'm going to take a massive risk let's go for
15:4260 bouquets
15:45so i think the safest option we're not super experienced so i would say that we should aim to
15:51make 45. for rosner flower order firmed up hi rojan 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
16:08a flower arch they want to go with like a lovely english garden meadow yep and like foliage and
16:16like wild kind of like greenery cheap cheap yeah cheap cheap cheap lots of greenery you said yeah
16:21yeah yeah lots of greenery and with like sprinkles of like flowers okay brilliant thank you very much
16:29i'm quite happy that they've decided on a lot of green foliage because i think we've yeah that's the
16:34cheapest i think i understand what they're going for they're basically what something like this on an
16:39arch yeah so 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 what type of vibe are we
16:57looking at they wanted show-stopping opulent but something to do with the devil wears prada and
17:02something to do with fashion so you know it has to look nice one thing to mention as well down
17:06suggested like the devil horns and then you know people could take the picture in between it but
17:11we're happy to leave the sort of creative aspect to you okay cool i'll just be very clear again the
17:17most
17:17important thing is that it's that they wanted quality that's the clear brief we've got they don't want
17:23us skimping on anything okay awesome yeah i mean i'm a little bit nervous about that because i did say
17:28we
17:29should be definitely transparent and not over promised but show-stopping opulent they obviously
17:35have a very very they've got briefs that that needs to be hit basically i think because dan obviously
17:41spoke about the devil horns and it sounded like an idea that they were into it's a safe bet to
17:45go with
17:46that these two greenery we're going to need quite a bit of so so i'm saying 100 of these yeah
17:52i think so
17:53i just think we're going a bit too stingy on the flower oh wait okay we have sold this for
17:572 000
17:57pounds okay now let's just add the entire total up yeah the total is 219 pounds 70 pens
18:04if 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 much
18:16for leo okay hopefully all look good 6 p.m i think that they'll love that and it's a showstopper
18:26designs done i'm hoping that we can absolutely smash this out of the park sorry not hoping we
18:30are going to smash it let's go let's go let'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 aprons on let's get
18:52work yeah 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 andrew the actual flowers was eight pound 95 per bouquet
19:12and then the arch was 219 pounds 70. that's really good so obviously we spent 219 pound on the arch
19:19which is really cheap how many flowers did you order 410. okay a little bit concerned about the amount
19:26of flowers they actually ordered we negotiated 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
19:37foliage i think try and get as much of the foliage done as possible because you're going for that
19:41whimsical enchanted 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 we're trying to make what 60 of
19:55them vanessa however the priority is the corporate client for me personally because that is a guaranteed
20:01money 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
20:14the sky we're going to have the hindrangers um as clouds yeah the only thing to note in the corporate
20:18team is precision and density around the horns so they're clearly horns otherwise it'll just look like
20:23a mess my issue with the flower wall design is that the corporate client might find it a bit too
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
20:43picking up anything that's like it 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 9am each of them will look a bit different but as long as to your eye it looks yes
20:59okay
20:59while rothner's team race ahead so far we've got 12 bouquets done i just want to get as many done
21:05as
21:05possible ideally we want it to kind of end up looking like this focusing on finesse
21:11raised in lines for making it look messy yeah which has to be very careful team tropical
21:18how about my first attempt yeah i'm going to 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 full 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 good canes but it don't seem very panicked at all i wouldn't have
21:53been taking it easy i would be running 100 miles an hour the most important part as well was 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've been excited so far it's good that the more we put
22:12on
22:12the better it's gonna look the other team oh no that's snapped off i keep breaking these when i'm
22:21putting them into moss rape fiddly remember time is all the essence careful so we don't lose any flowers
22:30and whatnot yeah i'm just i've spilt some
22:47right 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 and then in
23:20the
23:20gaps we're going to put the birds of paradise okay leading on her team's devilish design if you stand
23:26here yeah the tail needs to start about here karishma we've done enough blue at the top so now let's
23:33concentrate at the bottom to fill in the green i don't want them to be much green yeah quickly sorry
23:38krishma yeah the blue was supposed to only go in the sky i think you have enough i'm just using
23:43this to
23:44cover the green i'm going to come and support you i feel like i need to be here right now
23:47okay cool we need
23:48to focus the flowers a little bit more lower just and then spread it out sporadic so make sure the
23:53back 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
24:03spread them out come on faster these all need all these flowers need to be on yeah don't cut them
24:09too
24:10short don'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
24:30here it's not that's not good enough mid-morning we've hit the quantity and let's put it into bucket and
24:39let's go i love that let's do that we've got 24 here two people can be working the back to
24:44finish
24:44some more my main focus now is getting out because now we're just costing ourselves but we need to
24:48start moving stuff yeah let's get everything going while half of each team pack up their corporate orders
24:54oh be careful be careful be careful no wait it's bending it's bending man stop stop play down
25:00the rest head off to market let's go let's go off we go come on so my strategy out there
25:07is to try
25:08and sell for as high as you possibly can i think we'll be good yeah go on go 49.99
25:13all right let's
25:14do 49.99 and i'm confident we're going to sell these battersea power station oh it's so busy
25:23base for both teams to flog their flowers megan do you want to get on the chalkboard yeah and write
25:28down
25:29the price put down 49.99 for now giving their budget bouquets a premium price tag ladies and gentlemen
25:36go and get your flowers rothner's country garden crew hello can i introduce you some fresh flowers
25:44these are hydrogens and so they're like pink gorgeous fresh flowers to treat yourself or your loved ones
25:51just a special deal for you really so beautiful what are you thinking 49.99 it's a little too high
25:57okay you could maybe like put a few in your hair can i interest you in fresh fruit care flowers
26:05these are tough crowd out here hello i see smiles up there why don't you come over and treat yourself
26:13this is tough tough tough are we like scaring people away at this point yeah
26:18i'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 gonna be mindful of what he is saying and just kind of take
26:27back the reign a
26:27little bit and make sure that i stick to the pricing strategy that i feel is best yeah so i
26:32think 49.99
26:33is just a little bit expensive so i think we should just go in and try and sell it for
26:3740 pounds what
26:38do you think oh no change on the board 40 pounds it is okay across the shopping center we have
26:46tropical
26:47flowers here one day only make your day for the other team we're selling them today 49 pounds a bunch

27:35you very
27:35much sir take care the team are performing their heart out you know everyone is giving their best
27:42i think connor and i naturally are more sort of salesy people but i can't fault the effort we've just
27:47got to shift as many as we can they are really lovely what type of flowers are they um so
27:52they are
27:52tropical okay exactly what it says on the tin west london oh be careful it wants it wants it
28:00once i put the knot on then it's holding held in place delivering on yesterday's promises to the
28:05fragrance brand hello hi guys how you doing love to see you amanda how are you hi rajan's corporate crew
28:13here is what we've created for you what do you think okay let's have a look the overall vibe you've
28:20nailed it it's nice that it feels natural but i was definitely expecting more flowers based on our
28:26conversation but we just thought you know what why not just put a little bit less flowers here and
28:31work up towards more than built up flowers right in the middle so it's like the blooming i don't know
28:352 000 pounds is pushing it i would be happier with a little bit less so i'm thinking what do
28:42you think
28:42amanda 1500 1500 yes we didn't know if you wanted to um have some bouquets for your guests there's
28:49obviously eight people what about if we say 1800 including the bouquets i think and then i think
28:55we will be very happy thank you very much thank you thank you so much thank you so much i'm
29:03feeling
29:03pretty chuffed with what we've achieved i mean we did give them the bouquets of flowers a goodwill gesture
29:08but in the grand scheme of things it's cost us 40 pounds cost price so i think we firefighted very
29:13well
29:14there at least we got a sale yeah let's go make that 200 pound bag yeah that's what i'm back
29:18yeah
29:18let's go let's go across town it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's not showcasing their
29:27vibrant vision do you mean break one move the flowers that's we don't step on them please vanessa's team
29:35they 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 readers horns i think it definitely gives some symbolism of
30:00devil 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 the bright colors you really can't walk
30:17past this and miss it for me this clashes it's just not this show and it's not this brief so
30:22we can't
30:22honor that original quote so um yeah if possible if you do like i know we said 1500 are we
30:28able to
30:29get to the 1200 mark look we'll recognize the labor and the time and can offer you a thousand pounds
30:34for it ultimately this isn't something that we're going to use i'm a little bit disappointed because
30:39i definitely mentioned to the boys do not over promise and understand exactly what they're looking
30:44for and that was completely ignored well unfortunately yeah that was they could have literally said do you
30:51know what we're not willing to pay for anything yeah i think to lose out on 500 is i have
30:56to be able to
30:57just have to take it mid-afternoon all right team let's huddle are we saying it's best to just
31:04flog it all at 30 quid otherwise we're going to be left with a lot of flowers still pruning back
31:10prices
31:11as 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 made myself look how beautiful they are it's the biggest one i could
31:23find that's stunning how much they're 30 pounds today yes we'll have amazing right okay so the price
31:31is 30 pounds for them please and that will be 30 pounds 30 pounds you're bad why don't you meet
31:38me
31:38we're gonna do 27.50 haven't i 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
31:54yeah
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 low
32:06sometimes but i think the most important thing is just trying to sell it because if we take a lot
32:10of stuff home then we're just not going to make any money at all and we're not going to get
32:13any
32:13profit the best that i can do today from 30 is 20. 80 19 pounds and we'll shake on it
32:21okay okay perfect
32:26on 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
32:36one of us should 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
33:01no make more we don't have any to sell could i ask for a 50p tip for the smile thank
33:07you so much
33:08now so 25.85 perfect and then the wonderful pasha is going to hand you a fresh bouquet
33:14thank 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 sec
33:23i think the excitement of the selling and the market has got to lawrence no one else is making
33:28bouquets apart from me and krishma the boys are sort of out there trying to sell which is fine but
33:33we're running out of bouquets we don't have any made and it doesn't look great could you as well
33:38just tidy up just a tiny bit just so it doesn't look quite so messy thank thank you hello ladies
33:465pm corporate orders fulfilled they're absolutely beautiful these they are stunning yeah for both
33:53teams how about we do 50 pounds yeah yeah a chance to flog leftover flowers to trade we've been
34:00selling these at 40 pounds per 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 it a little cute bunch please thank you amazing
34:33she cooked us put it in the shower the hot stain comes up they've sold out but there's still so
34:39many people here who want to buy flowers clearly they just didn't make enough they could have sold
34:46an awful lot more bouquets for a higher price what a missed opportunity 10 minutes to go down to 21
34:53parents in total for both teams a final push i love one of mine fades for the flowers i want
34:59to try
34:59and get some sales out i understand that but we just need to make them up as quickly as possible
35:03so the sound of two pound 50 is that okay right we're charging you two pounds tonight can i get
35:08three cheers for our last customers of the day see you later thank you so much
35:20trading over we managed to sell absolutely everything out yeah so good work guys let's
35:26hope it was enough i'm a little bit apprehensive that we obviously dropped the price quite low
35:31that could come back and bite me but that still made a profit every single bouquet sold so i feel
35:36quite proud listen guys i know people are keen to try and sell more but actually you getting behind
35:41and actually doing it drew more sales in we have some expensive stock left over my only fear
35:46yeah my biggest concern was that we wouldn't be able to make 60 bouquets and sell 60 bouquets
35:51i'm feeling extremely apprehensive we have too much excess stock and i think it's going to really
35:55affect our bottom line oh there's so many beautiful flowers tonight profits processed tomorrow for one
36:03team the sweet smell of success
36:14krishma how you feeling this morning i feel like no one's immune from being thrown under the bus big
36:19time we needed more bouquets so like me and krishma were focusing a lot on making bouquets so yeah i'm
36:24a
36:24bit worried i don't know you lot but i'm feeling very confident my flowers are fire we were hearing
36:31that your flowers are pretty dull and boring look in the boardroom today it's all gonna be weeded out
36:35yeah
36:43going to the boardroom i'm actually pretty confident i really got a chance to show everybody that i'm a
36:47worthy enough candidate i did what i was asked to do by a pm of course i have doubts in
36:52my mind about
36:53decisions i've made but ultimately i'll stand by them i know i could have performed better but
36:58win or lose i'm not going anywhere
37:05you can go through to the boardroom now
37:18so let's see how you went in this um war of the roses
37:24we'll start with eclipse
37:28rothna 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
37:40my main 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 this stuff yeah yeah i knew that because of i've worked with eucalyptus before and i know that
38:02they're great filler flowers that make a bouquet look a lot bigger than they are and you could actually
38:07charge a lot more yeah for it rothna was really keen that it looked substantial it didn't cost very
38:13much yeah hmm okay and you don't think that's a little bit dull no it's like that keir starmer
38:21by his wife on her birthday it's a bit boring is it boring yeah i think it looks a beautiful
38:27bouquet and
38:27i would buy it and have it in my own thanks adrian um so you spent 400 pounds i heard
38:35on this uh which
38:37came out at eight pound 88 per bouquet right were you involved in making them up uh kieran i heard
38:43you're a bit uh uh unstable in flower arranging yeah i spilt some flowers a few times spilt them
38:52you stepped on them you broke them you had the touch of an elephant and they were quite flimsy
38:57so they kept snapping but we got there in the end you had all the finesse of an airport baggage
39:03holder i was told yeah you did yeah megan what were you doing in this task um i was making
39:09the
39:09bouquets lord sugar right and um i understood that you had difficulty in pronouncing the names
39:16of some of the flowers yeah it wasn't my strongest area i must admit yeah not hydrangeas hydrogens
39:22thank god he wasn't selling fuchsias yeah yeah moving on the corporate team i led the sub team
39:33so we went to meet the client in the morning um this is the client who does the fragrances correct
39:38yeah conic they were called right so you started negotiating with the client and i think you went
39:43in at something like three and a half grand didn't you three thousand three thousand three thousand
39:48yeah so i went into the pitch with that money forget a flower arch you need marble arch yeah
39:53i think the client's all that too yeah so i wanted to go in high um knowing that they would
39:58bring me
39:59down and i got them up to two thousand right we then presented the arch to the client they then
40:04proceeded on to say that you know they think that the two thousand pounds was a bit excessive on their
40:09end and then andrea came out with a great idea luckily we had some of the bouquets that the other
40:14team prepared for us we then shook on 1800 pounds including the bouquets i have to say i thought it
40:19looked
40:19good oh thank you all right now what about the actual bouquets who was out selling them it was
40:26myself harry and megan yep and kieran i've got some figures here 49.99 yes so on the way there
40:33kieran
40:33was quite confident having looked at the bouquet he can push for 49.99 now for me did you ever
40:37sell one
40:38at that price no we didn't we then went to 40 didn't sell one people were like avoiding us like
40:43the plague
40:43we were pretty worried at the beginning because we started so high and we were like we're not going to
40:47sell any of these but then we actually were selling them like hotcakes they were they were flying off
40:51the shelves all right okay let's move on to the other team uh alpha right now vanessa you put
41:00yourself forward as a project manager yeah yeah yeah um i wanted to try something new you wanted to
41:06prove yourself i guess so yeah i just quite i like trying new things you went for the tropical
41:11yeah uh thing yeah because i really wanted to push boundaries i don't think it's the stuff that
41:15you see every day okay and um this would be your bouquet yeah this is the typical like tropical yeah
41:25expensive yeah yeah so this is not a cheap bunch it's not they went for the stuff you find in
41:32the
41:32garden that you normally run your lawnmower over to get rid of um they're very bright very colorful but
41:39from what i can see you spent a hell of a lot of money on them how many are we
41:43going to make
41:44so initially i wanted to make 40 to 50 so about 45 and the team convinced me that we should
41:50go for
41:50the 60 because they believe that they could sell but because we ended up only making four bouquets in
41:56an hour we had to end up making a majority of our bouquets at the stall itself which meant two
42:01man down
42:02for selling so how many did you make i believe there was 20 made by the end what were you
42:09doing growing them
42:10from seeds or what yeah it was quite painful to watch there wasn't that much organization was there
42:15but goodness was trying to go i really was trying but anyway your client that you were going to pitch
42:21to is the um theater right and currently running the devil wears prada is that right yeah yeah so what
42:30did they want they kept using the word show stopping and opulent and and high-end fashion i think is
42:36what they wanted yeah yeah but then they want something to do with the devil horns and things like
42:41that yeah and we we did put that in the final design we suggested that dan i believe or we
42:46will give
42:46them pretty much free reign to do what we like okay and how much did you end up agreeing we
42:52started
42:52off at 3 000 they said 750. um it was i understood i was being lowballed but we doubled that
42:58750 to 1500.
43:00right okay what did the client think when they saw the wall we put it up and the corporate client
43:06was not too pleased um so i mean i've got a picture of it i mean don't look great does
43:11it this wall it looks
43:12like elton john's qr code yeah um explain to me where the horns are it's the two red things at
43:23the top
43:23these two things here you say yeah really anyway what did they say financially because you'd agreed
43:311500 pounds yes so they were saying essentially that they can't use it um they're not happy with it
43:37but they're willing to offer us um essentially we got down to a thousand okay yeah i mean we still
43:44more than doubled our doubled our money on it yeah all right let's move on a little bit here now
43:50what
43:50about the main bulk of your uh bouquets then we sold out of the bouquets that we brought with us
43:57and then
43:57myself and karishma were pretty much making bouquets on the spot we had a severe amount of excess stock
44:04um 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
44:25the sales their total sales were 2 000 pounds and 84 pence that gave them a total profit of 564
44:31pounds
44:32and 59 pence profitable anyway so karen same question to you well uh eclipse spent a lot less uh 620
44:44pounds
44:44and 50 pence and they also sold a lot more uh 2792.50 giving them a good profit of 2172
44:57pounds
44:58good so well done you won off you go thank you thank you very much well done guys thank you
45:17thank 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 dead heads off you go thank you
45:42oh hey get it
45:46honestly i am so so proud those numbers compared to the other team as well then it was so small
45:53i obviously think out of all the tasks we've done and out of all the pms that was such a
45:57clear plan
45:57everything was perfect i think it was amazing big win big win you smashed that
46:09ultimately 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
46:17i looked silly with 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
46:43that's a lot of money i mean literally all the profit from this task has come from the corporate
46:47team so if i get sent home i can walk away with my head held high but i'd be pissed
46:52off i did want
46:53to keep the price low every single time i kind of brought it up it was it looks cheap let's
46:56go for
46:57x y and z let's go for xyz honestly i don't think the biggest fault was in the pricing strategy
47:01we
47:02came there with so much excess stock that was left over at the end vanessa was easily swayed by
47:07karishma who wanted to go with the 60 units and didn't listen to the practical advice and the
47:11worries that i had about excess stock i mean essentially we can go around around around
47:14this table so let's just go in there and all the best
47:27yes old sugar can you send the candidates in place
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 like buying flowers
48:25at a garage on mother's day morning you know panicking it was quite clear they were just throwing
48:30flowers to make a bouquet look pretty they focused on pretty but didn't focus on profit that's a very
48:37good point yeah and even worse still out of the 962 pounds that you spent at the end you threw
48:45some
48:45stock away didn't you a huge amount of stock so we had enough to make 60 we only made 43
48:50bouquets
48:51which was my biggest concern here 272 pounds of excess stock laid over so i wanted to go for 60
48:58because i thought we would have made more before we entered the market but because we were under so
49:03much pressure to make bouquets while we were there they missed half the clients that we could have got
49:07if me and pasha were also selling yeah but anyway moving on the corporate team you spent 473 pounds
49:15on that bloody stupid wall it was more like the hanging gardens of bethnal green just for your
49:21reference after you left they chucked it out that's how good it was yeah right so who was who who
49:29built
49:29the wall um dan priesh myself and karish dan and priesh yeah bill and ben the flowerpot men um they're
49:38not at one point any of them say this is not what the client's looking for we did at one
49:42point
49:43give the idea of the i think dan gave the ideas to the client with the two devil horns and
49:47the tail
49:47and they didn't say no to the idea you know that wall was a disaster um and the negotiation for
49:55it
49:55was ridiculous i am i understand lord sugar i mean we we doubled from where we were it's not perfect
50:01i will hold my hands up to that doubled but you didn't get it did you we when you finally
50:07turn up
50:07with that um thing they only give you a thousand quid don't they um so where do you think the
50:13failure
50:13of this task lays with them i think ultimately on the other side here partly because we we did make
50:18a
50:18profit on our on our particular product although it was bad we did make where do you think it lays
50:23corner i do you think it lies with us i do you think it lies i think who out of
50:27the u4 then do
50:28you think i think ultimately vanessa you made the decision on the bouquet and then i do think
50:32karishma you ultimately influenced vanessa to go up higher i don't think 160 pounds on an extra 10
50:37broke the camel's back i don't think that was so i think it's okay to say krishma also did that
50:43but
50:43you guys still took very long to make it right well vanessa who you bringing back into this boardroom
50:50i'd have to definitely bring somebody back from both sides and this side i'm gonna have to bring
50:54pasha back and i can give the reasons after i'm happy to do that and i think on this side
50:59um i'm
51:00gonna have to lawrence i think you being the sub leader could have definitely pushed it out a bit
51:04more all right okay the rest of you go back to the house 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
51:27uh and um at least one of you is going to be leaving the process today okay yeah 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 but he
52:11actually left a lot of money on the table he disappointed the client and his flower wall ended
52:15up in the bin yeah okay yes 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 so the reason why i
52:39brought pasha
52:40back was because um she was key at instrument in me picking the flowers even once we picked me picking
52:46the flowers no sorry as in the team picking the flowers she was pushing for the more expensive ones
52:50when i picked the cheaper alternative she was saying no i completely disagree and i am shocked that i'm
52:55sat here honestly i think vanessa is just coming up with excuses honestly to back herself there was no
53:02strategy no decision at all lawrence in this particular task there was certain artistry about it
53:10that i don't think you took the ambiance of the theater into account you sold something the client
53:18didn't want i mean lord sugar i still doubled our money i mean it's disappointing who should be fired
53:23then um i think ultimately it is vanessa i think what a lot of thing is obviously i put myself
53:29in this
53:29position to lead this thing with when i have no experience on it no price no costing strategy let me
53:35just
53:36finish what i'm saying i put myself in a position to be the pm of this task i couldn't easily
53:39do this
53:40thing where a lot of people are doing waiting for the perfect task i wanted to challenge myself
53:43as something i've never done well i do tell people don't get involved in running something which
53:48you've got no experience honestly if i didn't put my hand up nobody would have put their hand up
53:52it's easy for a lot of people to hide behind the person who puts themselves who should be fired then
53:56in all honesty i think we're halfway through the process passion has not put herself forward for
54:00anything but she jumps on the back of a lot of things if it sounds good she's happy to go
54:04with it
54:04and if it doesn't work out i've pulled my weight in every single task i've been a backbone of
54:08pretty much every task i've done what i've been told to do to the best of my ability we can
54:13all say
54:14what we've done from task one to now each and every single task i've also put myself out there i
54:19never
54:19ever stay silent i'm not a background person i'm not a background person either who do you think should
54:24be fired i think vanessa should be fired honestly in the market i was making bouquets i took that
54:29initiative because we didn't have enough bouquets i told you 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 and
54:43i went over to the other side because i had to be in between both there was no leadership just
54:47one
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 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 on
55:52in the flowers and also the manufacturing of the bouquets was a joke complete and utter joke
56:01and and on that basis
56:04vanessa vanessa you're fired thank you very much good luck good luck
56:14thanks
56:19lawrence you'll stay in this process
56:23paša you'll stay in the process also thank you simply because i i can't see what you did wrong
56:29in this task me neither it doesn't mean that i haven't got my eyes on you okay go back to
56:36the
56:36house thank you lord sugar bang is ready to
56:42what's the decision it was 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 well what was she liking for them
57:00she held herself very well she was composed but she didn't take account she didn't take
57:04accountability was laurence and pasha shocked that they were brought back yeah i was quite
57:08surprised with who vanessa picked but i have no idea who's coming back or which way this will go
57:12but i don't want to see any more flowers ever again what happened it was pretty brutal to be
57:34honest with you i mean i do feel like i've used the life up there like i didn't get any
57:39grilling in
57:40there he 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 going to see
