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
02:45out of flowers now the uk spends over two billion pounds a year on flowers so this is a market
02:53in
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 p.m that's my p.m let's do it i'm excited to be the project manager for
04:27this task
04:27this is not my remit i've never done flowers before but i want to show lord sugar that i can
04:31absolutely excel at anything i put my head to what is your what is your strategy that's my question
04:36let's let's let's get there in a second let me breathe all right we're kids
04:42across the hall i've arranged flowers before so i'd feel pretty confident needing 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
05:09like an old style i totally get it but the good thing i would say about country garden is i
05:13know
05:14that in the flower market it's a bit cheaper to buy not to sound cheap but it's a profit task
05:18right
05:18so at the end of the day that's my priority but i just need you all to believe in it
05:22okay yeah amazing
05:23okay brilliant 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 pastel colors like lilacs
05:42baby 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
05:52debating a direction for their bouquet we are talking bold bright just like all of us
05:58vanessa's team
06:00i do love the tropical idea however i feel like in the market it may be a little bit isolating
06:05whereas a classic flower you can really sell that to anyone being like you want to give a gift or
06:09you
06:09want to show your loved when you love them it appeals to everyone for a reason also if they're being
06:13imported the cost price might be a little bit higher i 100 get you i still am leaning towards the
06:19tropical flowers i think we can kind of evoke the feeling of if you don't get to travel this year
06:23you can travel with your flowers it's time to like get the vibrancy out and i probably will go for
06:28tropical flowers that okay for everyone yeah we have to be very cautious because bold can be
06:33brilliant but bold 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
06:45bouquet team with andrea harry and megan and who will woo the client and then the corporate team
06:52can i get somebody that's happy to be a sub team leader on that side i don't mind putting myself
06:57up
06:57for sub team looking at the previous market task yeah thoroughly enjoyed it and we i've done a very
07:02good job there 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 that yeah yeah so i think it's best for roger to be a sub team leader i'm more than
07:17happy
07:17brilliant she's definitely made a mistake there i think i'm one of the strongest sellers in the group
07:23however i think me and raj will leave this one and get get the deal done obviously pricing is really
07:29important i obviously want to make sure that you negotiate a really good prize okay try and go as
07:34high as you can happy amazing corporate side i'm going to put lawrence dan and priesh arranging her
07:43bunch with lawrence as the sub team lead project manager vanessa i put a lot of trust into you you're
07:50going to 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 in 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 please do not go there and oversell overdo over promise actually one thing i just don't like
08:21yes what 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 alpha let's get it guys
08:3511am teams divide
08:41well i mean being sub team leader this this week i mean i'll 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
08:51hey i 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 looking for
09:18ways to keep down costs obviously we're going for pastels as we can see certain flowers are a little
09:23bit more but filler flowers luckily aren't too expensive project manager rothner guys do you like
09:30this hydrations hydrangeas that is very nice we'd have to see how much they are though hydrangea that's
09:40one pound 75 so that would be our most expensive yeah item there but then it's both it'll bulk out
09:45yeah
09:45okay and then i would like to add a bit of foliage just to bulk it up a bit with
09:49the leaves eucalyptus
09:51is 30 people 30 people i definitely want quite a lot of them adding extra foliage usually is cheaper
09:57and it's a profit task i ideally don't want each bouquet to be any more than about eight pounds
10:02i'm just slightly worried we have too many fillers and not enough like actual flower can we take maybe
10:07one of them or one of them out and add another flower i actually agree with you but i just
10:11would
10:11rather have a bit more greenery i think at the moment we're being a bit too price focused as much
10:17as we want to use things that are a bit cheaper to make a profit we've also got to use
10:22things that
10:22are pretty and people going to want to buy i'm just a bit concerned at the moment it just looks
10:27a bit
10:27flat okay so what are we thinking it still looks quite thin on the ground i just think this looks
10:33really
10:35nice across town right guys what i want us to do is look for the the bright tropical colors just
10:41make
10:42it really fun selecting stems for their bold bouquets i was thinking even if we have one or two premium
10:49flowers team tropical this is a premium one to be fair but the color is gorgeous that is quite expensive
10:57anterium is two pounds i'm happy with that chico leaves they give me tropical vibes okay cool we
11:04have the rub veronicas i've got one two three four veronicas i like the shape the shape that's quite
11:09cute it looks very tropical but it's not full for me yeah there seems to be not enough big flowers
11:16can i get one more please i think this yellow is not the right yellow yeah if we say for
11:20example this
11:21yellow that is 175 a flower i think for 175 it's quite expensive i like the color yeah can i
11:27get
11:27two more of them yellow ones yeah it was a little bit like bringing kids to the shop and just
11:34telling them to throw in whatever flowers they like i think our cost price is extremely high so i'm
11:38extremely worried about our margins girls look at this quickly do you see the vision can it work
11:44can 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 it's 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 i think we've got a
12:13fantastic idea of how we can make this really special for you my vision for you if it's if
12:18it's capturing your guests on the way in then potentially an arch it's the wow shot as they're
12:24coming in with a lovely kind of like an archway it would be a fantastic kind of backdrop we could
12:28really capture the essence of your brand you know people can hold your fragrance under the arch the
12:34colors we can entwine with your you know your branding already i love that idea yeah now in terms of
12:40costs for the full arch it would be three thousand it's a little bit above our budget is there anything
12:46you can do what we could do we could have foliage around the bottom yeah and then the flowers coming
12:51over that could then bring the price down with that being said i think the best price i could really
12:56go to would be 2 200. we still might need to come down about just a little bit if we
13:01could shake
13:02on 2000 okay we could shake them 2000 okay yeah amazing i'm happy with how the meeting went you know
13:10kieran was a little bit disruptive felt like i had it under wraps um so yeah a little bit disappointed
13:15there but overall i think you know we secured a good price in terms of the price i think we've
13:20done
13:20pretty well i can not skimp on the really expensive flowers yeah it's not so important i mean they're an
13:26english countryside brand is less rather than more yeah across town what we want to do is create a
13:34floral installation something high fashion opulent a show-stopping piece hoping to stage a sale with
13:42a west end show something that we were thinking about was that flower wool it could be like two
13:47devil horns i would just bring it back to as long as it feels high fashion and glamorous pr man
13:53lawrence
13:55we know that what we're going to offer is is that glamour and that sort of high class element we
14:00were
14:01looking for this about three and a half thousand we've done this before and we would expect to pay
14:05about 750 pounds for a flower installation right i i don't think 750 is kind of where we were looking
14:13at
14:14and i don't want to promise perfection if we want to stick with the premium flowers we are looking about
14:18the 2 000 pound mark or we can slightly dampen down the quality of the flowers we can get that
14:23to about
14:241500 i don't think we can sacrifice on quality as long as it's quality as long as it's show-stopping
14:30final price would be 1500 brilliant thank you so much thank you so much the client was really clear
14:37with their brief they wanted something that was show-stopping glamorous and lawrence interestingly
14:41thought he'd go in and offer the client something that wasn't perfection that didn't really feel like
14:46a proper negotiation and almost risked them the deal i know we've obviously had to promise
14:51show-stopping i don't know about you fellas but i'm not a florist i'm not going to be delivering the
14:55best of the best 4 p.m next for vanessa how many do you think we should be making tomorrow
15:03i want to go
15:04around the 40 to 50. decide how many poses to push to the public i would want to be a
15:12little bit more
15:12adventurous and like just be brave enough to go for 60 maybe 10 more selling for 50 pounds each that
15:17could
15:17be 500 pounds more there's a huge risk to get 10 more we don't know what the market's going to
15:21be
15:21like tomorrow there's a lot of what ifs i would push for 60. i don't know if it's um i
15:26i do agree
15:27you know it's a pm decision but if we've got more we sell more it's a risk though isn't it
15:32none of us
15:33are floral experts we don't know how long that's going to take it's a lot of waste if we get
15:36it wrong
15:37yeah um so i'm going to take a massive risk let's go for 60 bouquets
15:45so i think the safest option we're not super experienced so i would say that we should aim
15:50to make 45. for rosner flower order firmed up hi rojan how are you how's things a chance to check
15:59in
16:00we 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 cheap cheap cheap yeah cheap cheap cheap lots of greenery you said yeah yeah
16:22yeah 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
16:34the cheapest i think i understand what they're going for they're basically what something like
16:37this on an arch yeah so we've ended up with a flower wall they were tough negotiators touching base
16:47with her team they started with 750 we've walked away with 1500 project manager vanessa
16:55what type of vibe are we looking at they wanted show-stopping
16:59opulent but something to do with the devil wears prada something to do with fashion so you know it
17:04has to look nice one thing to mention as well dan suggested like the devil horns and then you know
17:09people could take the picture in between it but we're happy to leave the sort of creative aspect to you
17:14okay cool i'll just be very clear again the most important thing is that they wanted quality
17:20that's the clear brief we've got they don't want us skimping on anything okay awesome yeah i mean i'm a
17:27little bit nervous about that because i did say we should be definitely transparent and not over
17:32promised but show-stopping opulent they obviously have a very very they've got briefs that that needs
17:38to be hit basically i think because dan obviously spoke about the devil horns and it sounded like an idea
17:43that
17:43they were into it's a safe bet to go with that these two greenery we're going to need quite a
17:50bit
17:50of so so are we saying 100 of these 100 of these yeah i think so i just think we're
17:54going a bit too
17:54stingy on the flower oh wait okay we have sold this for 2 000 pounds okay now let's just add
17:59the entire
17:59total up yeah the total is 219 pounds 70 pounds if you've sold a flower installation for 2 000 pounds
18:07the
18:07average florist will spend about 500 on flowers well this team have only spent 220 i'm worried
18:15they haven't ordered enough we've got so much for leo okay hopefully it will look good
18:216 pm i think that they'll love that and it's a show stopper designs done i'm hoping that we can
18:28absolutely smash this out of the park sorry not hoping we are going to smash it let's go let's go
18:32let's go everyone tomorrow pedal pedals to pull in a profit
18:426 a.m west london wow today teams must transform flowers right this gets vibrant this gets work yeah
18:52into 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 of
19:26flowers 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
20:14in the sky we're going to have the hindrangers um as clouds yeah the only thing to note in the
20:18corporate
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 on
20:38the flower wall and lorence will be moving over to bouquets i will be floating in between both so i'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 may 4. yeah
21:40okay we need
21:41to speed things up guys we got to get going over half an hour into making the flowers the team
21:48have
21:48only managed to produce four good canes 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 that
21:58play
21:59around with it at the end yeah the finesse yeah i find it is quite therapeutic to be fair yeah
22:06short
22:07on flowers to fill their arch i've been excited about it's good that the more we put on the better
22:13it's
22:14the other team oh no that's snapped off i keep breaking these and i'm putting them into moss rape
22:22fiddly remember time is all the essence careful so we don't lose any flowers and whatnot yeah i'm just i've
22:31spilt 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
23:11to be packed with the flower yeah you start doing the scenery first yeah so like around here and then
23:20in the gaps we're going to put the birds of paradise okay leading on her team's devilish design
23:25if you stand here yeah the tail needs to start about here karishma
23:31we've done enough blue at the top so now let's concentrate at the bottom to fill in the green i
23:35don't
23:36want them to be much green yeah quickly sorry karishma yeah the blue was supposed to only go in the
23:41sky
23:41i think you have enough i'm just using this to cover the green i'm gonna come and support you i
23:46feel
23:46like i need to be here right now okay cool we need to focus the flowers a little bit more
23:50lower just and then
23:51spread it out sporadic so make sure the back the bottom is covered yeah guys make sure you're pushing
23:56them in there's two are falling out of my hands and be mindful something like the tail shouldn't be
24:01covered okay guys spread them out spread them out come on faster these all need all these flowers
24:07need to be on yeah don't cut them too short don't cut them too short yeah it's very stressful it
24:14is very
24:15stressful and i'm a bit more stressed because vanessa's so stressed her stress is rubbing off on me
24:18i think vanessa needs to calm down maybe she should be on the bouquet team and not on our team
24:23you know the too many cooks mess up the broth or whatever it is that's what's happening today
24:28i shouldn't be able to see the ends coming out of here it'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
24:46out because now we're just costing us but we need to start moving stuff yeah let's get everything
24:50going while half of each team pack up their corporate orders oh be careful be careful be
24:56careful no 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 you possibly can
25:10what i think would be good yeah go on go 49.99 all right let's do 49.99 and i'm
25:15confident we're
25:16going to sell these battersea power station oh it's so busy base for both teams to flog their flowers
25:26megan 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 ladies and gentlemen go get your flowers
25:38rothner's country garden crew hello can i introduce you some fresh flowers these are hydrogens and so
25:46they're like pink gorgeous fresh flowers to treat yourself or your loved ones just a special deal for you
25:53really so beautiful what are you thinking 49.99 it's a little too high okay you could maybe like put
25:59a few in
25:59your hair can i interest you in fresh bouquet flowers it's a tough crowd howie hello i see smiles up
26:09there
26:09why 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 and sell it for 40 pounds what do you think oh no change on the board 40 pounds
26:41it is okay
26:44across the shopping center we have tropical flowers here one day only
26:49make your day for the other team we're selling them today 49 pounds a bunch go on then i will

27:38the team are performing their heart out you know everyone is giving their best i think connor and
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
28:07lovely to see you amanda how are you hi rajan's corporate crew here is what we've created for
28:15you what do you think okay oh let's have a look the overall vibe you've nailed it it's nice that
28:21it
28:21feels natural but i was definitely expecting more flowers based on our conversation but we just thought
28:28you know what why not just put a little bit less flowers here and work up towards more the built
28:32-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 didn't know if you wanted to um have some bouquets for your guests there's obviously eight
28:50people what about if we say 1800 including the bouquets i think and then i think we'll be very happy
28:57thank you thank you very much thank you thank you thank you so much thank you so much i'm feeling
29:03pretty chuffed with what we've achieved i mean we did give them the bouquets of flowers a goodwill
29:08gesture but in the grand scheme of things it's cost us 40 pounds cost price so i think we firefighted
29:13very well there at least we got a sale yeah let's go make that 200 pound bag yeah that's what
29:17yeah let's
29:19go let's go across town it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's
29:26showcasing their vibrant vision do you mean we'll move the flowers that actually don't step on
29:31them please vanessa's team they look more like wings hello hi guys so we thought what can we do
29:44to really symbolize devil's brother so we've gone with the horns for you to demonstrate yeah of
29:49course what is your first impression um okay um do we think those readers horns
29:57i think it definitely gives some symbolism of devil yeah for sure remember the tail coming out
30:02of the back so i did say inspiration from high fashion okay can you talk me through which elements
30:08you feel are high fashion here um with high fashion i definitely didn't get that passed on but i think
30:14with the the bright colors you really can't walk past this and miss it for me this clashes it's just
30:20not this show and it's not this brief so we can't honor that original quote so um yeah if possible
30:26if you do like i know we said 1500 are we able to get to the 1200 mark look we'll
30:31recognize the labor
30:31and the time and can offer you a thousand pounds for it ultimately this isn't something that we're going
30:36to use i'm a little bit disappointed because i definitely mentioned to the boys do not over
30:41promise and understand exactly what they're looking for and that was completely ignored well
30:47unfortunately yeah that was they could have literally said do you know what we're not willing
30:52to pay for anything yeah i think to lose out of 500 is i have to be able to just
30:57have to take it
31:00mid-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
31:09still pruning back prices as long as we sell them for around 20 quid minimum we're making profit
31:15rothner's sales squad this is my special one i make myself look how beautiful they are it's the
31:22biggest one i could find that's stunning how much they're 30 pounds today yes we'll have amazing right
31:29okay so the price is 30 pounds for them please and that will be 30 pounds 30 pounds you're bad
31:37why don't
31:38you meet me in the middle and do 27.50 have i yeah 27.50 amazing the least i can
31:42do is 25 today
31:44okay okay deal perfect how about two for 20 each oh you drive a hard bargain all right fine down
31:52to 20 pounds yeah great yeah we've got a bunch of flowers for you for 20 pounds so yeah so
31:58two for
31:5840. thanks so much it's going really good we're making quite a few sales now my only worry is are
32:05we
32:06going a bit too low sometimes but i think the most important thing is just trying to sell it
32:09because if we take a lot of stuff home then we're just not going to make any money at all
32:12and we're
32:13not going to get any profit the best that i can do today from 30 is 20. 80 19 pounds
32:20and we'll shake
32:20on it okay okay perfect perfect thank you on the other team all right guys i think we're doing really
32:29well we're starting to really get these sales coming through rethinking roles we have six bouquets
32:35left do we think at least one of us should focus on bouquet creation now i do think that's a
32:39good idea
32:42lawrence i'm going to put you two guys onto making some bouquets okay so do you want the two girls
32:46to
32:47just stay there and just bang bang bang yeah we will focus on the sales if you guys can make
32:51them and
32:51really throw them together so people are going to enjoy watching you make them i can see this in your
32:56living
32:56room in your kitchen area they're tropical it's a flash of summer can i run around if i make more
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 pasture is going to hand you a fresh bouquet thank you
33:15so
33:15much have a lovely rest your day thank you sorry i have this nice couple that have been waiting for
33:19some time give us a second i think the excitement of the selling and the market has got to lawrence
33:27no one else is making bouquets apart from me and krishma the boys are sort of out there trying to
33:32sell
33:32which is fine but we're running out of bouquets we don't have any made and it doesn't look great
33:37could you as well just tidy up just a tiny bit just so it doesn't look quite so messy thank
33:41thank you
33:42hello ladies 5pm corporate orders fulfilled they're absolutely beautiful these they are stunning
33:52yeah for both teams how about we do 50 pounds yeah yeah a chance to flog leftover flowers to trade
34:00we've been selling 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
34:1220 minutes till sales must cease last bunch of flowers fresh out of stock right guys we are
34:20officially out over this side for rothner's team we've got a few leaves there if you want to bunch
34:25them together a plan to flog foliage sell them for whatever you can but make a little cute bunch
34:31please thank you amazing she picked us put it in the shower the hot steam comes up they've sold out
34:38but
34:39there's still so many people here who want to buy flowers clearly they just didn't make enough they
34:45could have sold an awful lot more bouquets for a higher price what a missed opportunity 10 minutes to
34:52go down to 21 pounds in total for both teams a final push i love one of mine fades for
34:57the flowers i
34:59want to try and get some sales out i understand that but we just need to make them up as
35:02quickly as
35:03possible so we're selling it for two pound 50 is that okay right we're charging you two pounds
35:07today can i get three cheers for our last customers of the day
35:14see you later thank you so much
35:20trading over we managed to sell absolutely everything out yeah
35:26let's hope it was enough i'm a little bit apprehensive that we obviously dropped the price
35:31quite low that could come back and bite me but that still made a profit every single bouquet so
35:35so i feel quite proud listen guys i know people are keen to try and sell more but actually you
35:40getting behind and actually doing it drew more sales in we have some expensive stock left over my only
35:46fear yeah 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 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 into the boardroom i'm actually pretty confident i really got a chance
36:46to show everybody that i'm a worthy enough candidate i did what i was asked to do by a pm
36:51of course i have
36:52doubts in my mind about decisions i've made but ultimately i'll stand by them i know i could have
36:57performed 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 uh roffner you
37:29became the project manager of eclipse is that right yes so i actually really wanted um country garden just
37:36because it's a profit task and i knew that filler flowers and foliage would be my main focus for
37:41this task yeah this is a typical bouquet of yours yeah yes uh oh thank you yeah thank you so
37:51much
37:52so this no disrespect is the cheaper end of the market some of this stuff yeah yeah i knew that
37:59because of i've worked with eucalyptus before and i know that they're great filler flowers that make a
38:04bouquet look a lot bigger than they are and you could actually charge a lot more um for it rothner
38:10was really keen that it looked substantial it didn't cost very much yeah hmm okay and you don't
38:17think that's a little bit dull no it's like that keir starmer would buy his wife on her birthday
38:23it's a bit boring is it boring yeah i think it looks a beautiful bouquet and i would buy it
38:28and have it in my
38:28um so you spent 400 pounds i heard on this uh which came out at eight pound 88 per bouquet
38:40right
38:40were you involved in making them up uh kieran i heard you're a bit uh uh unstable in flower
38:47arranging yeah yeah i spilt some flowers a few times you spilt them you stepped on them you broke
38:53them you had the touch of an elephant and they were quite flimsy so they kept snapping but we got
38:59there in the end you had all the finesse of uh an airport baggage holder i was told yeah yeah
39:06megan
39:07what were you doing in this task um i was making the bouquets or sugar right and um i understood
39:12that
39:13you had difficulty in pronouncing the names of some of the flowers yeah it wasn't my strongest
39:19area i must admit yeah not hydrangeas hydrogens oh yeah she said that sorry about that well thank
39:25god you wasn't selling fuchsias yeah yeah moving on the corporate team i led the sub team so we went
39:33to meet the client in the morning um this is the client that does the fragrances correct yeah conic
39:38they were called right so you started negotiating with the client and i think you went in at
39:43something like three and a half grand didn't you three thousand three thousand yeah so i went into
39:49the pitch with that money forget a flower arch you need marble arch yeah i think the client's all that
39:55too yeah so i wanted to go in high um knowing that they would bring me down and i got
39:59them up to two
40:00thousand right we then presented the arch to the client they then proceeded on to say that you know
40:06they think that the two thousand pounds was a bit excessive on their end and then andrea came
40:10out with a great idea luckily we had some of the bouquets that the other team prepared for us we
40:15then
40:15shook on 1800 pounds including the bouquets i have to say i thought it looked good thank you right now
40:21what about the actual bouquets who was out selling them it was myself harry and megan yep and kieran i've
40:29got some figures here 49.99 yes so on the way there kieran was quite confident having looked at the
40:34bouquet
40:35he can push for 49.99 now for me did you ever sell one at that price no we didn't
40:39we then went to 40
40:40didn't sell one people were like avoiding us like the plague we were pretty worried at the beginning
40:45because we started so high and we were like we're not going to sell any of these but then we
40:48actually
40:49were selling them like hotcakes they were they were flying off the shelves all right okay let's move on
40:54to the other team uh alpha right now vanessa you put yourself forward as a project manager yeah
41:03yeah yeah um i wanted to try something new you wanted to prove yourself i guess so yeah i just
41:08quite i like trying new things you went for the tropical yeah uh thing yeah because i really wanted
41:13to push boundaries i don't think it's the stuff that you see every day okay and um this would be
41:19your
41:19bouquet yeah this is the typical like tropical yeah expensive yeah yeah so this is not a cheap
41:28bunch it's not they they went for the stuff you find in the garden that you normally run your lawnmower
41:34over to get rid of um they're very bright very colorful but from what i can see you spent a
41:41hell of a
41:41lot of money on them how many are we going to make so initially i wanted to make 40 to
41:4750 so i bought
41:4845 and the team convinced me that we should go for the 60 because they believed that they could sell
41:52but because we ended up only making four bouquets in an hour we had to end up making a majority
41:58of
41:59our bouquets at the stall itself which meant two man down for selling so how many did you make
42:05i believe there was 20 made by the end what were you doing growing them from seeds or what yeah
42:11it was
42:12quite painful to watch there wasn't that much organization was there but vanessa was trying to go
42:16i really was trying but anyway your client that you were going to pitch to is the um theater right
42:24and currently running the devil wears prada is that right yeah yeah so what did they want they kept
42:32using the word show-stopping and opulent and and high-end fashion i think is what they wanted yeah
42:37yeah but then they want something to do with the devil horns and things like that yeah and we we
42:42did put
42:43that in the final design we suggested that dan i believe or we will give them pretty much free reign
42:48to do what we like okay and how much did you end up agreeing we started off at 3 000
42:53they said 750
42:55um it was i understood i was being lowballed but we doubled that 750 to 1500. right okay what did
43:02the
43:02client think when they saw the wall we put it up and the corporate client was not too pleased um
43:08so i 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
43:32yeah so they were saying essentially that they can't use it um they're not happy with it but
43:38they're willing to offer us um essentially we got down to a thousand okay yeah i mean we still more
43:45than doubled our doubled our money on it yeah all right let's move on a little bit here now what
43:50about
43:50the main bulk of your uh bouquets then we sold out of the bouquets that we brought with us and
43:57then
43:57myself and karishima were pretty much making bouquets on the spot we had a severe amount of sex excess
44:04stock hmm right well the last thing we need to do is to read out the results so tim tell
44:14me what 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 2000 pounds and 84 pence that gave them a total profit of 564 pounds and
44:3259
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 good
44:59so well done
45:01you won you won off you go thank you very much well done guys thank you
45:18right 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
45:43hey get it
45:46honestly i am so so proud those numbers compared to the other team as well they know it was so
45:52small
45:53i obviously think out all the tasks we've done and out of all the pms that was such a clear
45:57plan
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
46:52i did want to keep the price low but every single time i kind of brought it up it was
46:55it looks cheap let's go for x y and z let's go for x y z honestly i don't think
46:59the biggest
47:00fault was in the pricing strategy we came there with so much excess stock that was left over at the
47:04end vanessa was easily swayed by karishma who wanted to go with the 60 units and didn't listen
47:09to the practical advice and the worries that i had about excess stock i mean essentially we can
47:13go around around around this table so let's just go in there and all the best
47:27yes 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
48:05pounds 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 like what me and pasha were
48:20doing is trying to make a bouquet that was presentable they were panicking away they were
48:24like buying flowers at a garage on mother's day morning you know panicking it was quite clear they
48:29were just throwing flowers to make a bouquet look pretty they focused on pretty but didn't focus on
48:35profit 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 was my biggest concern here 272 pounds of excess stock laid over
48:56so i wanted to go for 60 because i thought we would have made more before we entered the market
49:02but
49:02because we were under so much pressure to make bouquets while we were there they missed half the
49:06clients that we could have got if me and pasha were also selling yeah but anyway moving on the corporate
49:12team you spent 473 pounds on that bloody stupid wall it was more like the hanging gardens of bethnal green
49:20just for your reference after you left they chucked it out that's how good it was yeah right so who
49:28was who who built the wall um dan priesh myself and chris dan and priesh yeah bill and ben the
49:36flowerpot
49:36men um they're not at one point any of them say this is not what the client's looking for we
49:42did at one
49:42point give the idea of the i think dan gave the ideas to the client with the two devil horns
49:47and the 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 of
50:13this task lays with them i think ultimately on the other side here partly because we we did make a
50:18profit on our on our particular product although it was bad we did make where do you think it lies
50:23connor i do you think it lies with us i do you think i think it lies who are you
50:27for then do you think
50:28i think ultimately vanessa you made the decision on the bouquet and then i do think karishma you
50:33ultimately influenced vanessa to go up higher i don't think 160 pounds on an extra 10 broke the camel's
50:38back i don't think that was the point of failure 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 are you bringing back into this
50:49boardroom i'd have to definitely bring somebody back from both sides and this side i'm gonna have
50:54to bring pasha back and i can give the reasons after i'm happy to do that and i think on
50:58this side
50:59um i'm gonna have to lawrence i think you being the sub leader could have definitely pushed it out a
51:04bit
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 up in
52:16the
52:16bin 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
56:18lawrence
56:19lawrence you'll stay in this process
56:23pasha you'll stay in the process also thank you simply because i i can't see what you did wrong

56:36the
56:36house thank you lord sugar bang is 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 well what was she like in the ball
57:00then she 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 surprised
57:09with who vanessa picked but i have no idea who's coming back or which way this will go but i
57:13don't
57:13see any more flowers ever again yes who else is coming is it just you oh my goodness
