00:22friction absolutely Daniels that on you no 20 candidates never been kicked in

00:36utter joke just jump straight in one life-changing opportunity you're fired

02:14that with me
02:15i've not even got my nice pyjamas on
02:33good morning i guess you're surprised to see me but in the world of business you have to be ready
02:39at a moment's notice now your next task sounds simple i want you to make a bunch of money out
02:46of flowers now the uk spends over two billion pounds a year on flowers so this is a market in
02:53full bloom as it were you're going to create bouquets to sell to the public and i've arranged
02:59for each team to meet a corporate client who are looking to place a bespoke order the team that
03:07makes the most profit will win and on the losing team at least one of you will be fired now
03:13i'm
03:13going to mix up the teams a bit karishma lawrence and priesh swap with rajan levi and rothner
03:29so everything clear good well i'll see you in the boardroom in a couple of days time
03:38teams have two days to turn petals into profit okay welcome to the team rothner rajan and levi
03:45thank you glad to be here nice first job is anyone interested in putting themselves forward as pm choose
03:53a chief florist well i just did it and i need i need a minute to get gather myself i
04:00know my hand is
04:01blooming in the sky like a flower and i see no one else's hand i didn't mind doing it but
04:06if you're
04:06up for it i'm up for it only because i haven't had a chance i like flowers i like good
04:10things but i
04:11also want to just be do something i haven't done before so this is an amazing challenge um i want
04:16to
04:16push myself completely in a new place and thrive there 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 only question let's let's get there in a second let me breathe
04:40all right we're kids across the hall i've arranged flowers before so i'd feel pretty confident
04:47leading this team already running the rest does anybody have a preference on what flowers we want
04:52to do rosner from my experience if we do go for country garden that is usually a lot cheaper to
05:00buy than higher end things like roses i think the garden ones personally i wouldn't ever purchase
05:05because i just think i could grow them in my own garden in my personal opinion i feel like they
05:09look
05:09a bit like an old style i totally get it but the good thing i would say about country garden
05:13is
05:13i know that in the flower market it's a bit cheaper to buy not to sound cheap but it's a
05:17profit
05:18task right so at the end of the day that's my priority but i just need you all to believe
05:21in
05:21it okay amazing okay brilliant rothra was really keen on the country garden theme but if you don't
05:29arrange them right they can look like a bunch of weeds picked up from the garden if they look cheap
05:35they sell cheap and this is a profit task do you know what type of color is country garden is
05:40pastel colors like lilacs baby pink create like a relaxed vibe we're bringing the outdoors inside
05:45yeah nice i was leaning towards tropical flowers i like the vibrancy of it debating a direction for
05:54their bouquet we are talking bold bright just like all of us vanessa's team i do love the tropical idea
06:02however i feel like in the market it may be a little bit isolating whereas a classic flower you can
06:07really
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 um tropical flowers i think we can
06:21kind
06:21of evoke the feeling of if you don't get to travel this year you can travel with your flowers it's
06:25time
06:25to like get the vibrancy out and i probably will go for tropical flowers that gave everyone yeah we have
06:30to be
06:31very cautious because bald can be brilliant but bald can be extremely risky next so if we could now
06:40decide on a team split choose who will focus on flowers i'll be on the bouquet team with andrea harry
06:47and megan and who will woo the client and then the corporate team can i get somebody that's happy to
06:54be
06:54a sub team leader on that side i don't mind putting myself up for sub team looking at the previous
06:58market
06:59task yeah thoroughly enjoyed it and we i've done a very good job there so i mean our sub team
07:03leader
07:03two tasks ago for the corporate i'm happy to do it again didn't you get a really good negotiation on
07:09the one i did yes yes i think that yeah you absolutely smashed that yeah so i think it's best
07:15for rajah to be a sub team leader i'm more than happy brilliant she's definitely made a mistake there
07:21i think i'm one of the strongest sellers in the group however i think me and raj will leave this
07:26one
07:26and get the build up obviously pricing is really important i obviously want to make sure that you
07:31negotiate a really good price okay try and go as high as you can happy perfect amazing
07:39corporate side i'm going to put lawrence dan and priesh arranging her bunch with lawrence as the
07:45sub team lead project manager vanessa i put a lot of trust into you you're going to please the corporate
07:51client and make sure you understand everything they want just understand your vibe we're going to go in
07:56there we're going to listen about the business we're going to establish what they want we're
07:59going to discuss the types of flowers that we could add into that installation we're then going to see
08:02how we can match the two together once we've listened to them we're then going to decide in a
08:07price we're going to push for as much as we can without over promising yeah and then we're going to
08:10get a clear idea of exactly what they're expecting also please please please do not go there and
08:16oversell overdo over promise actually one thing i just don't like yes what we're not going to do at
08:22any point is offered perfection because if there is one leaf out of place and we've offered
08:27perfection yeah someone's going home 11am 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
08:46hope 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 how are you nice to meet you at a floral studio so i hold
09:03my foliage so i go
09:04filler flower flower okay yeah after a crash course in bouquet building as you can see
09:13you've got none of your same flowers touching each other it's amazing yeah looking for ways to keep
09:18down costs obviously we're going for pastels as we can see certain flowers are a little bit more
09:23but filler flowers luckily aren't too expensive project manager rothner guys do you like this
09:34hydrations hydrangeas so that is very nice we'd have to see how much they are though hydrangea that's
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 okay and then i would like to add a bit of foliage just to bulk it up a bit
09:49with the leaves
09:50eucalyptus is 30 people 30 people i definitely want quite a lot of them yeah adding extra foliage
09:56usually is cheaper and it's a profit task i ideally don't want each bouquet to be any more than about
10:01eight pounds i'm just slightly worried we have too many fillers and not enough like actual flower can
10:06we take maybe one of them or one of them out and add another flower i actually agree with you
10:10but i
10:10just what would rather have a bit more greenery i think at the moment we're being a bit too price
10:16focused as much as we want to use things that are a bit cheaper to make a profit we've also
10:21got to use
10:22things that are pretty and people going to want to buy i'm just a bit concerned at the moment it
10:26just
10:27looks a bit flat okay so what are we thinking it still looks quite thin on the ground i just
10:32think this
10:32looks really nice across town right guys what i want us to do is look for the the bright tropical
10:41colors just make it really fun selecting stems for their bold bouquets i was thinking even if we have
10:47one or two premium flowers team tropical this is a premium one to be fair but the color is gorgeous
10:56that is quite expensive anterium is two pounds i'm happy with that chico leaves they give me tropical
11:03vibes okay cool we have the veronicas i've got one two three four veronicas i like the shape that's
11:09quite cute it looks very tropical but it's not full for me yeah there seems to be not enough big
11:15flowers
11:16can i get one more please i think this yellow is not the right yellow yeah if we say for
11:20example this yellow
11:21that is 175 a flower i think for 175 is quite expensive i like the color yeah can i get
11:27two
11:28more of them yellow ones yeah it was a little bit like bringing kids to the shop and just telling
11:34them to throw in whatever flowers they like i think our cost price is extremely high so i'm extremely
11:39worried about our margins girls look at this quickly do you see the vision can it work can we
11:44sell 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 connock 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
12:17if it's if it's capturing your guests on the way in then potentially an arch it's the wow shot as
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 now in terms
12:40of
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 two thousand two hundred we still might need to come down just a little bit if
13:01we could shake
13:02on two thousand okay we could shake the two thousand okay yeah amazing i'm happy with how the meeting went
13:09you know kieran
13:10was a little bit disruptive felt like i had it under wraps um so yeah a little bit disappointed there
13:15but overall i think you know we secured a good price in terms of the price i think we've done
13:20pretty well i can not skimp on the
13:23really expensive flowers yeah it's not so important i mean they're an english countryside brand it's less
13:28rather than more yeah across town what we want to do is create a floral installation something high
13:36fashion opulent a show-stopping piece hoping to stage a sale with a west end show something that we
13:44were thinking about was a flower wall it could be like two devil horns i would just bring it back
13:49to
13:49as long as it feels high fashion and glamorous pr man lawrence we know that what we're going to offer
13:56is is that glamour and that sort of high class element we were looking for this about three and a
14:02half thousand we've done this before and we would expect to pay about 750 pounds for a flower installation
14:07right i i don't think 750 is kind of where we were looking at and i don't want to promise
14:15perfection if we want to stick with the premium flowers we are looking about the 2 000 pound mark
14:19or we can slightly dampen down the quality of the flowers we can get that to about 1500 i don't
14:25think we can sacrifice on quality as long as it's quality as long as it's show-stopping final price
14:31would be 1500 brilliant thank you so much thank you so much the client was really clear with their brief
14:38they wanted something that was show-stopping glamorous and lawrence interestingly thought he'd go in
14:42and offer the client something that wasn't perfection that didn't really feel like a proper
14:47negotiation and almost risked them the deal i know we've obviously had to promise show-stopping i don't
14:53know about you fellas but i'm not a florist i'm not going to be delivering the best of the best
14:584 p.m next for vanessa how many do you think we should be making tomorrow i wanted to go
15:04around
15:05the 40 to 50. decide how many poses to push to the public i would want to be a little
15:12bit more
15:12adventurous and like just be brave enough to go for 60 maybe 10 more selling for 50 pounds each that
15:17could be 500 pounds more there's a huge risk to get 10 more we don't know what the market's going
15:21to be
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 you
15:27know it's a pm decision but if we got more we sell more it's a risk though isn't it none
15:33of us are floral
15:33experts we don't know how long that's going to take it's a lot of waste if we get it wrong
15:37yeah um
15:38so 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 rossner flower order firmed up hi roger how are you how's things a chance to check
15:59in
16:00we managed to secure a price of two thousand pounds okay perfect that's great we've pitched to
16:08them a flower arch they want to go with like a lovely english garden meadow yep and like foliage and
16:16like
16:16wild kind of like cheap cheap cheap yeah cheap cheap lots of greenery you said yeah yeah lots of
16:23greenery and with like sprinkles of like flowers okay brilliant thanks very much bye i'm quite happy
16:30that they've decided on a lot of green foliage because i think we've yeah that's the cheapest
16:34i think i understand what they're going for they're basically what something like this on an arch yeah
16:42so we've ended up with a flower wall they were tough negotiators touching base with her team
16:48they started with 750 we've walked away with 1500. project manager vanessa
16:55what type of vibe are we looking at they wanted show-stopping
16:59opulent but something to do with the devil wears prada and something to do with fashion so you know
17:04actually 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
17:14you okay cool i'll just be very clear again the most important thing is that it's that they wanted
17:20quality that's the clear brief we've got they don't want us skimping on anything okay awesome yeah i mean
17:27i'm a little bit nervous about that because i did say we should be definitely transparent and not over
17:32promise but show-stopping opulent they obviously have a very very they've got brief that that needs
17:38to be hit basically i think because dan obviously spoke about the devil horns and it sounded like
17:43an idea that they were into it's a safe bet to go with that these two greenery we're going to
17:49need
17:49quite a bit of so so are we saying 100 of these 100 of these yeah i think so i
17:54just think we're going
17:54a bit too stingy on the flower wait okay we have sold this for two thousand pounds okay now let's
17:58just
17:58add the entire total ups yeah the total is 219 pounds 70 pens if you've sold a flower installation
18:06for two thousand pounds the average florist will spend about 500 on flowers well this team have
18:12only spent 220 i'm worried they haven't ordered enough we've got so much for leo okay hopefully
18:18all look good 6 p.m i think that they'll love that and it's a showstopper designs done i'm hoping
18:27that
18:28we can absolutely smash this out of the park sorry not hoping we are going to smash it let's go
18:31let's go let's go everyone tomorrow pedal pedals to pull in a profit
18:426 a.m west london wow today teams must transform flowers right let's get some
18:51microns on let's get work yeah into bunches of cash my whole aim going into this was keep costs low
18:57filling in her followers project manager rossner i hope the flowers meet your expectations yeah we've got
19:0545 bouquets to make costing wise per bouquet how much did you say andrew so the actual flowers was
19:10eight pound 95 per bouquet and then the arch was 219 pound 70. that's really good so obviously we
19:17spent 219 pound on the arch it's really cheap how many flowers did you order 410. okay a little bit
19:25concerned about the amount of flowers they actually ordered we negotiate a 2 000 pound price for this archway
19:31the customers are expecting big things we'll have to just try and improvise as best as we can
19:35because it's mainly foliage i think try and get as much of the foliage done as possible because
19:40you're going for that whimsical enchanted kind of vibe downstairs so this was our final bouquet
19:47we ordered for 60 bouquets setting out her vision with this you need to move incredibly fast if we're
19:53trying to make what 60 of them vanessa however the priority is the corporate client for me personally
20:00because that is a guaranteed money right there so we have actually designed something for you guys
20:04this is what we have we decided to go with some horns which are made up of coronations and red
20:12roses
20:13and then what we have in the sky we're going to have the hindrangers as clouds yeah the only thing
20:17to note in the corporate team is precision and density around the horns so they're clearly horns
20:22otherwise it'll just look like a mess
20:25my issue with the flower wall design is that the corporate client might find it a bit too gimmicky
20:29so they might think of it as a halloween element to it but that's the design that the team have
20:33come up with and that's what we have to go with so karishma dan and priyash are going to work
20:38on the
20:38flower 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 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 okay 9am each of them will look a bit different but as long as to your eye it looks
20:59nice okay while rothner's team race ahead so far we've got 12 bouquets done i just want to get as
21:05many done as possible ideally we want it to kind of end up looking like this focusing on finesse
21:11raised in lines for making it look messy yeah you just have 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 thumb how are you guys doing are you guys okay yeah we're just about made four
21:40yeah okay we need to speed things up guys we got to get going over half an hour into making
21:47the
21:47flowers the team have only managed to produce four cookies but it don't seem very panicked at all
21:52i wouldn't have been taking it easy i would be running 100 miles an hour the most important part
21:57as well is having that play around with it at the end yeah the finesse yeah
22:04i'm finding this quite therapeutic to be fair yeah short on flowers to fill their arch i've been
22:10at class so far it's good the more we put on the better it's gonna look the other team
22:16oh no that's snapped off i keep breaking these and i'm putting them into moss rape fiddly remember
22:24time is all the essence careful so we don't lose any flowers and whatnot yeah i'm just i've spilt some
22:32all right done
22:50they only ordered just over 200 pounds worth of flowers for their whole arch and most of
22:55that is foliage so every stem counts they're all so heavy-handed though they're dropping them
23:01they're stepping on them they're breaking them i mean at this rate they're really not going to have
23:05enough to fill this arch it really needs packing out with flowers you know for two thousand pound it
23:11needs to be packed with the flower yeah you start doing the scenery first yeah so like around here
23:19and then in 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 we've done enough blue at the top
23:32so now let's concentrate at the bottom to fill in the green i don't want them to be much green
23:37yeah quickly sorry karishma yeah if the blue was supposed to only go in the sky i think you have
23:42well then we're gonna i'm just using this to cover the green i'm gonna come and support you i feel
23:46like i need to be here right now okay cool we need to focus the flowers a little bit more
23:50lower just
23:51and then spread it out sporadic so make sure the back the bottom is covered yeah guys make sure you're
23:56pushing them in the two are falling out of my hands and be mindful something like the tail shouldn't
24:01be covered 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
24:15very stressful 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 out because now we're just costing ourselves but we need to start moving stuff yeah let's get
24:50everything going while half of each team pack up their corporate orders oh be careful be careful
24:56be careful no wait it's bending it's bending my name stop stop stop play down the rest head off to
25:01market let's go let's go off we go come on so my strategy out there is to try and sell
25:09for as high
25:09as we possibly can i think we'll be good yeah go on go 49.99 all right let's do 49
25:14.99 and i'm confident
25:16we're gonna sell these battersea power station oh it's so busy base for both teams to flog their
25:25flowers megan do you want to get on the chalkboard yeah and write down the price put down 49.99
25:30for
25:31now giving 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 maybe i'll put a few
25:59in your hair
26:01can i interest you in fresh bouquets flowers it's a tough crowd out here hello i see smiles up there
26:10why don't you come over and treat yourself this is tough tough tough are we like scaring people away this
26:16yeah i'm quite concerned just because the momentum isn't there i didn't listen to kira when he mentioned
26:22the 49.99 i think now i'm going to be mindful of what he is saying and just kind of
26:26take back the
26:27rain a little bit and make sure that i stick to the pricing strategy that i feel is best yeah
26:31so
26:31i think 49.99 is just a little bit expensive so i think we should just go in and try
26:36and sell it
26:37for 40 pounds what do you think oh change on the board 40 pounds it is okay
26:44across the shopping center we have tropical flowers here one day only make your day for the other team

27:38the team are performing their heart out you know everyone is giving their best i think connor and i
27:43naturally are more sort of salesy people but i can't fault the effort we've just got to shift
27:47as many as we can they are really lovely what type of flowers are they um so they are tropical
27:53okay exactly what it says on the tin west london oh be careful it wants it once it put the
28:01knot on
28:01then it's holding held in place delivering on yesterday's promises to the fragrance brand hello hi guys
28:07how you doing love to see you amanda how are you hi rajan's corporate crew here is what we've
28:14created for you what do you think okay let's have a look the overall vibe you've nailed it it's nice
28:21that it feels natural but i was definitely expecting more flowers based on our conversation but we just
28:28thought you know what why not just put a little bit less flowers here and work up towards more the
28:32built up flowers right in the middle so it's like the blooming i don't know two thousand pounds is
28:36pushing it i would be happier with a little bit less so i'm thinking what do you think amanda 1500
28:441500 yes we 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 let's go across town it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's not showcasing
29:27their vibrant vision do you mean break one move the flowers that actually don't step on them please
29:33vanessa's team they look more like wings hello hi guys so we thought what can we do to really
29:44symbolize devil as prada so we've gone with the horns for you to demonstrate yeah of course what
29:50is your first impression um okay um do we think there's reader's horns i think it definitely gives
29:59some symbolism of devil yeah for sure remember the tail coming out of the back so i did say
30:04inspiration from high fashion okay can you talk me through which elements you feel are high fashion
30:11here um with high fashion i definitely didn't get that passed on but i think with the bright colors
30:16you really can't walk past this and miss it for me this clashes it's just not this show and it's
30:20not
30:21this brief so we can't honor that original quote so um yeah if possible if you do like i know
30:27we said
30:271500 are we able to get to the 1200 mark look we'll recognize the labor and the time and can
30:33offer you
30:33a thousand pounds for it ultimately this isn't something that we're going to use i'm a little bit
30:38disappointed because i definitely mentioned to the boys do not over promise and understand exactly
30:43what they're looking for and that was completely ignored well unfortunately um yeah that was they
30:50could have literally said do you know what we're not willing to pay for anything yeah i think to lose
30:54our own 500 is i have to be able to just have to take it mid-afternoon all right team
31:01let's huddle are we
31:03saying it's best to just plug it all at 30 quid otherwise we're going to be left with a lot
31:08of
31:08flowers still pruning back prices as long as we sell them for around 20 quid minimum we're making
31:15profit rothner'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 you meet me and we're going to do 27.50 come on yeah 27.50 amazing the least
31:42i can do is 25
31:44today okay okay okay deal perfect how about two for 20 each oh you drive a hard bargain all right
31:51fine down to 20 pounds yeah great yeah we've got a bunch of flowers for you for 20 pounds so
31:58yeah so
31:58two for 40. thanks so much it's going really good we're making quite a few sales now my only worry
32:05is
32:05are we going a bit too low sometimes but i think the most important thing is just trying to sell
32:09it
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 not
32:13going to get any profit the best that i can do today from 30 is 20.80 19 pounds i'm
32:20gonna shake on it okay
32:25on the other team all right guys i think we're doing really well we're starting to really get
32:30these sales coming through rethinking roles we have six bouquets left do we think at least one of us
32:37should focus on bouquet creation now i do think that's a good idea lawrence
32:42i'm going to put you two guys onto making some bouquets okay so do you want the two girls to
32:47just
32:47stay there and just bang bang bang yeah we will focus on the sales if you guys can make them
32:51and
32:51really throw them together absolutely people are going to enjoy watching you make them
32:55i can see this in your living room in your kitchen area they're tropical it's a flash of summer
33:00can i run around or can i make more no make more we don't have any so could i ask
33:04for a 50p tip for
33:05the smile thank you so much now so 25.85 perfect and then the wonderful pasture is going to hand
33:13you a
33:14fresh bouquet thank you so much have a lovely rest your day thank you sorry i have this nice couple
33:18that
33:18have been waiting for some time give us a second i think the excitement of the selling and the market
33:26has got to lawrence no one else is making bouquets apart from me and krishma the boys are sort of
33:31out
33:31there trying to sell which is fine but we're running out of bouquets we don't have any made and it
33:36doesn't look great could you as well just tidy up just a tiny bit just so it doesn't look quite
33:40so
33:40messy thank thank you hello ladies 5pm corporate orders fulfilled they're absolutely beautiful
33:51they are stunning yeah for both teams how about we do 50 pounds yeah yeah a chance to flog
33:58leftover flowers to trade we've been selling these at 40 pounds for bouquet i'll take them all for 40 quid
34:05we'll shake on that fresh and freshly packed bouquets you'll never see again 20 minutes till sales must
34:14cease last 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
34:28them for whatever you can but make a little cute bunch please thank you amazing she could just put
34:34it in the shower the hot stain comes up they've sold out but there's still so many people here who
34:40want to buy flowers clearly they just didn't make enough they could have sold an awful lot more bouquets
34:47for a higher price what a missed opportunity 10 minutes to go down to 21 pounds in total for both
34:54teams
34:55a final push i love on the mind phase for the flowers i want to try and get some sales
35:00out i understand
35:01that but we just need to make them up as quickly as possible so the sound of 2.50 is
35:05that okay right
35:06we're charging you two pounds alone 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 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 i still made a profit every single bouquet sold so i feel
35:36quite
35:36proud listen guys i know people are keen to try and sell more but actually you getting behind and
35:41actually doing it drew more sales in we have some expensive stock left over my only fear yeah
35:47my 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 team
36:03the sweet smell of success
36:14krishma how 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 lot but i'm feeling very confident my flowers are
36:30fire
36:30we were hearing that your flowers are pretty dull and boring look in the boardroom today it's all
36:35gonna be weeded out yeah
36:43going into the boardroom i'm actually pretty confident i really got a chance to show everybody
36:47that i'm a worthy enough candidate i did what i was asked to do by a pm of course i
36:52have doubts in my
36:52mind about decisions 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 you can go through to the boardroom now
37:19so let's see how you went in this um war of the roses
37:24we'll start with eclipse uh roffner you became the project manager of eclipse is that right yes so
37:33i actually really wanted um country garden just because it's a profit task and i knew that filler
37:39flowers and foliage would be my main focus for this task yeah this is a typical bouquet of yours yeah
37:45yes
37:46so uh oh thank you yeah thank you so much so this no disrespect is the cheaper end of the
37:57market some
37:58of this stuff yeah yeah i knew that because of i've worked with eucalyptus before and i know that they're
38:03great filler flowers that make a bouquet look a lot bigger than they are and you could actually charge a
38:07lot more um for it rothner was really keen that it looked substantial it didn't cost very much yeah
38:15okay and you don't think that's a little bit dull no it's like that keir starmer would buy his wife
38:22on
38:22her birthday it's a bit boring is it boring yeah i think it looks a beautiful bouquet and i would
38:27buy it
38:28have it in my um so you spent 400 pounds i heard on this uh which came out at eight
38:37pound 88 per bouquet
38:40right were you involved in making them up kieran i heard you're a bit uh uh unstable in flower
38:47arranging yeah i spilt some flowers a few times spilt them you stepped on them you broke them
38:54you 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 an airport baggage holder i was told yeah yeah megan
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 area i
39:19must admit yeah not hydrangeas hydrogens yeah oh yeah she said that sorry about that well thank god
39:25he wasn't selling fuchsias yeah yeah moving on the corporate team i led the sub team so we went to
39:34meet the client in the morning um this is the client that does the fragrances correct yeah conic
39:39they 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 three thousand three thousand yeah so i went
39:49into the pitch with that money forget a flower arch you need marble arch yeah i think the client's
39:54all that too yeah so i wanted to go in high um knowing that they would bring me down and
39:59i've got
39:59them up to two thousand right we then presented the arch to the client they then proceeded on to say
40:05that you know they think that the two thousand pounds was a bit excessive on their end and then
40:10andrea came out with a great idea luckily we had some of the bouquets that the other team prepared
40:14for us we then shook on eighteen hundred pounds including the bouquets i have to say i thought it
40:19looked good oh thank you 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 yeah 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 at
40:38that price that we didn't we then went to 40 didn't sell one people were like avoiding us like
40:43the plague we were pretty worried at the beginning because we started so high and we were like we're
40:47not going to sell any of these but then we actually were selling them like hotcakes they were they were
40:51flying off the shelves all right okay let's move on to the other team uh alpha right now vanessa you
41:00put
41:00yourself forward as a project manager yeah yeah yeah um i wanted to try something new you wanted to prove
41:06yourself i guess so yeah i just quite i like trying new things you went for the tropical yeah thing
41:12yeah because i really wanted to push boundaries i don't think it's the stuff that you see every day
41:16okay and um this would be your bouquet yeah this is the typical like tropical yeah expensive yeah yeah
41:27so this is not a cheap bunch it's not they went for the stuff you find in the garden that
41:32you normally
41:33run your lawnmower over to get rid of um they're very bright very colorful but from what i can see
41:40you spent a hell of a lot of money on them how many are we going to make so initially
41:45i wanted to
41:46make 40 to 50 so about 45 and the team convinced me that we should go for the 60 because
41:51they believe
41:52that they could sell but because we ended up only making four bouquets in an hour we had to end
41:57up
41:58making a majority of our bouquets at the stall itself which meant two man down for selling so
42:04how many did you make i believe there was 20 made by the end what were you doing growing them
42:10from
42:10seeds or what yeah it was quite painful to watch there wasn't that much organization was there but
42:15vanessa was trying to go i really was trying but anyway your client that you were going to pitch to
42:21is 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 how much did you end up agreeing we started
42:52off at 3 000 they said 750 um it was i understood i was being lowballed but we doubled that
42:59750 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
43:12looks like elton john's qr code yeah um explain to me where the horns are it's the two red things
43:23at
43:23the top these two things here you're saying yeah really anyway what did they say financially because
43:30you'd agreed 1500 pounds so they were saying essentially that they can't use it um they're
43:37not happy with it but they're willing to offer us um essentially we got down to a thousand
43:43okay yeah i mean we still more than doubled our doubled our money on it yeah all right let's move
43:49on a little bit here now what about the main bulk of your uh bouquets then we sold out of
43:55the bouquets
43:56that we brought with us and then myself and karishma were pretty much making bouquets on the spot we had
44:02a
44:02severe amount of sx excess stock right well the last thing we need to do is to read out the
44:11results
44:12so tim tell me what alpha spent yes the team spent a lot it came to a total of 1436
44:21pounds and 25 pence
44:23right and what were the sales their total sales were 2000 pounds and 84 pence that gave them a total
44:30profit of 564 pounds and 59 pence profitable anyway so karen same question to you well uh eclipse spent a
44:41lot
44:41less uh 620 pounds and 50 pence and they also sold a lot more uh 2792.50 giving them a
44:52good profit of
44:542 172 pounds good so well done you won off you go thank you thank you very much well done
45:04guys thank you
45:17thank you
45:19right well unfortunately um you lost i'll take a leaf out of a gardener's book
45:27and would say it's time to remove the deadheads off you go thank you
45:47it's time to take a leaf out of a gardener's book and it's time to take a leaf out of
45:51a
45:51team as well it was so small i obviously think out of all the tasks we've done and out of
45:55all the pms
45:56that was such a clear plan everything was perfect i think it was amazing
45:59all the time 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 open the call i think that information's being said
46:23i believe that as sub team leader lawrence needs to take some ownership because when it comes down to
46:28it he 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
46:37the failure of this task is because the price of the flowers 16 pounds cost to make a bouquet of
46:43flowers
46:43if that'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 x y and honestly i don't think the biggest fault was in the
47:01pricing strategy
47:01we came 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 this table so let's
47:15just
47:15go in there and all the best
47:27yes lord sugar can you send the candidates in please
47:40well if i was a condolence card i'd be telling you sorry for your terrible loss
47:48because it was a terrible loss you got whacked by 1600 pounds you spent 962
47:56pounds 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 flowers
48:31to make a bouquet look pretty they focus on pretty but didn't focus on profit that's a very good point
48:38yeah 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
49:20green just for your reference after you left they chucked it out that's how good it was yeah right
49:27so who was who built the wall um dan priesh myself and dan and priesh yeah bill and ben the
49:36flowerpot men
49:38um they're not at one point any of them say this is not what the client's looking for we did
49:42at 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
49:47tail and they didn't say no to the idea you know that wall was a disaster um and the negotiation
49:54for
49:55it was ridiculous and i understand lord sugar i mean we we doubled from where we were it's not perfect
50:01i will
50:02hold my hands up to that doubled but you didn't get it did you we when you finally turn up
50:07with that
50:08um thing they only give you a thousand quid don't they um so where do you think the failure of
50:13this
50:13task lays with them i think ultimately on the other side here partly because we we did make a profit
50:19on
50:19our on our particular product although it was bad we did make where do you think it lays connor i
50:23do
50:24you think it lies with us i do think it lies i think it lies who are you for then
50:28do you think i think
50:29ultimately vanessa you made the decision on the bouquet and then i do think karishma you ultimately
50:33influenced vanessa to go up higher i don't think 160 pounds on an extra 10 broke the camel's back
50:38i don't think that was a point of failure i think it's okay to say krishma also did that but
50:43you
50:43guys still took very long to make it right well vanessa who are 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
50:54passion back and i can give the reasons after i'm happy to do that and i think on this side
50:59um
51:00i'm gonna have to lawrence i think you being the sub leader could have definitely pushed it out a bit
51:04more 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
51:28uh 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 to mule with them i'm slightly confused with vanessa one why she's
51:50brought 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
52:15ended up 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
53:09it that 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
53:35let me just try let me just finish what i'm saying i put myself in a position to be the
53:38pm of
53:38this task i couldn't easily do this thing where a lot of people are doing waiting for the perfect
53:41task i wanted to challenge myself as something i've never done well i do tell people don't get
53:46involved in running something which you've got no experience honestly if i didn't put my hand up
53:51nobody would have put their hand up it's easy for a lot of people to hide behind the person who
53:55puts themselves who should be fired then in all honesty i think we're halfway through the process
53:59passion has not put herself forward for anything but she jumps on the back of a lot of things if
54:02it sounds good she's happy to go with it and if it doesn't work out i've pulled my weight in
54:06every
54:06single task i've been a backbone of pretty much every task i've done what i've been told to do to
54:12the best of my ability we can all say what we've done from task one to now each and every
54:16single
54:17task i've also put myself out there i never ever stay silent i'm not a background person i'm not a
54:22background person either who do you think should be fired i think vanessa should be fired honestly
54:26in the market i was making bouquets i took that initiative because we didn't have enough bouquets
54:31i told you to do the bouquets yeah but from the minute we got there i was doing bouquets and
54:37selling
54:37as well the issue is that flowers you guys didn't make enough you weren't helping us in the morning
54:41making them i helped you do a few and i went over to the other side because i had to
54:45be in between both
54:46there was no leadership just one thing i want to add i i did work across both teams as well
54:50and on both
54:51days i had a clear strategy neither of the days did the strategy fall apart i do have to say
54:56like
54:57i have learned my lessons from this right listen i think i've heard enough i'm going to conclude here
55:03um pasha i um don't quite understand vanessa's uh choosing you to come back here yeah but um your team
55:13was responsible for making the bouquets and buying the flowers and it's quite clear that far too much
55:22was spent there there was no cost strategy yeah i don't want to hear any more from anybody sorry
55:29lawrence you completely and utterly lost the plot you didn't realize this was a very artistic type of
55:36thing that these people wanted and you made them a very ugly wall
55:44vanessa i don't think you led this team very well at all in fact i think far too much money
55:51was spent
55:52on flowers and also the manufacturing of the bouquets was a joke a complete and utter joke
56:01and and on that basis vanessa you're fired thank you very much good luck good luck
56:19lawrence you'll stay in this process
56:22yes pasha 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 baron's ready
56:37it was the right decision it was only one decision you could make
56:47i took a big risk and put myself for something i've never done before and i'm not regretful
56:51about that 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 well i
57:13don't
57:13want to see any more flowers ever again
57:19yes
57:24you look like you've been through it mate what happened it was pretty brutal to be honest with
57:34you i mean i do feel like i've i've used the life up there like i didn't get any grilling

57:40literally was saying to vanessa i don't understand why pasha is sat here if anyone is in that position
57:46as project manager if you're bringing back the wrong people lord sugar's going to see right through
