02:11dogs
02:11dogs
02:13Why would he do that for me?
02:15I've not even got my nice pyjamas on.
02:19Do you want me to brush my teeth?
02:21No, I don't.
02:22No time, mate.
02:23No time.
02:33Good morning.
02:34I guess you're surprised to see me.
02:36But in the world of business, you have to be ready at a moment's notice.
02:40Now, your next task sounds simple.
02:43I want you to make a bunch of money out of flowers.
02:47Now, the UK spends over £2 billion a year on flowers.
02:51So this is a market in full bloom, as it were.
02:55You're going to create bouquets to sell to the public.
02:59And I've arranged for each team to meet a corporate client who are looking to place a bespoke order.
03:06The team that makes the most profit will win.
03:09And on the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
03:13Now, I'm going to mix up the teams a bit.
03:15Karishma, Lawrence and Priesh swap with Rajan, Levi and Rothner.
03:29So, everything clear?
03:31Yes.
03:32Good.
03:33Well, I'll see you in the boardroom in a couple of days' time.
03:38Teams have two days to turn petals into profit.
03:42OK, welcome to the team, Rothner, Rajan and Levi.
03:46Glad to be here.
03:47Nice.
03:48First job.
03:49Is anyone interested in putting sales forward as PM?
03:53Choose a chief florist.
03:55Well, I just did it and I need a minute to gather myself.
04:00My hand is blooming in the sky like a flower and I see no one else's hand.
04:04I mean, I didn't mind doing it, but if you're up for it.
04:07I'm up for it only because I haven't had a chance.
04:10I like flowers, I like good things.
04:11But I also want to just do something I haven't done before.
04:13So, this is an amazing challenge.
04:15I want to push myself completely in a new place and thrive there.
04:20So, I'm my PM.
04:20That's my PM.
04:23Let's do it.
04:25I'm excited to be the project manager for this task.
04:27This is not my remit.
04:29I've never done flowers before, but I want to show Lord Sugar that I can absolutely excel at anything I
04:33put my head to.
04:34What is your strategy?
04:36That's my only question.
04:36Let's get there in a second.
04:39Let me breathe.
04:40All right, we're kids.
04:42Across the hall.
04:44I've arranged flowers before, so I'd feel pretty confident needing this team.
04:48Already running the rest.
04:50Does anybody have a preference on what flowers we want to do?
04:53Rossner.
04:56From my experience, if we do go for country garden, that is usually a lot cheaper to buy than higher
05:01-end things like roses.
05:02I think the garden ones, personally, I wouldn't ever purchase because I just think I could grow them in my
05:06own garden.
05:07In my personal opinion, I feel like they look a bit like an old style.
05:10I totally get it, but the good thing I would say about country garden is I know that in the
05:14flower market, it's a bit cheaper to buy.
05:16Not to sound cheap, but it's a profit task, right?
05:18So at the end of the day, that's my priority, but I just need you all to believe in it.
05:22Okay.
05:22What happened?
05:23Amazing?
05:23Okay, brilliant.
05:25Rothra was really keen on the country garden theme, but if you don't arrange them right, they can look like
05:32a bunch of weeds picked up from the garden.
05:34If they look cheap, they sell cheap, and this is a profit task.
05:38Do you know what type of colour is?
05:39Country garden is pastoral colours, like lilacs, baby pink, create like a relaxed vibe.
05:44We're bringing the outdoors inside.
05:46Yeah, nice.
05:49I was leaning towards tropical flowers.
05:51I like the vibrancy of it.
05:53Debating a direction for their bouquet.
05:55We are talking bold, bright, just like all of us.
05:59Vanessa's team.
06:00I do love the tropical idea.
06:02However, 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 want to show your loved one you love them.
06:11It appeals to everyone for a reason.
06:12Also, if they're being imported, the cost price might be a little bit higher.
06:16I 100% get you.
06:17I still am leaning towards the tropical flowers.
06:20I think we can kind of evoke the feeling of, if you don't get to travel this year, you can
06:24travel with your flowers.
06:24It's time to like get the vibrancy out.
06:27And I probably will go for tropical flowers.
06:28Is that okay with everyone?
06:29Yeah.
06:30We have to be very cautious because bold can be brilliant, but bold can be extremely risky.
06:38Next.
06:39So, if we could now decide on a team split.
06:43Choose who will focus on flowers.
06:45I'll be on the bouquet team with Andrea, Harry and Megan.
06:49And who will woo the client.
06:51And then the corporate team.
06:53Can I get somebody that's happy to be a sub-team leader on that side?
06:55I don't mind putting myself up for sub-team.
06:57Looking at the previous market task, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I've done a very good job there.
07:02I mean, I sub-team leader two tasks ago for the corporate.
07:06I'm happy to do it again.
07:07Didn't you get a really good negotiation on the one with the corporate?
07:09I did, yes.
07:10You did, you did.
07:10Yes, I think that you did really do that.
07:12You absolutely smashed that.
07:13Yeah.
07:14So, I think it's best for Roger to be a sub-team leader.
07:17I'm more than happy.
07:18Brilliant.
07:20She's definitely made a mistake there.
07:21I think I'm one of the strongest sellers in the group.
07:24However, I think me and Raj will leave this one and get the deal done.
07:28Obviously, pricing is really important.
07:30I obviously want to make sure that you negotiate a really good price.
07:33Okay.
07:33Try and go as high as you can.
07:35Happy?
07:35Perfect.
07:36Amazing.
07:39Corporate side, I'm going to put Lawrence, Jan and Priyash.
07:43Arranging her bunch.
07:44With Lawrence as the sub-team lead.
07:46Project manager, Vanessa.
07:49I put a lot of trust into you.
07:50You're going to please the corporate client and make sure you understand everything they want.
07:54Just understand their vibe.
07:55We're going to go in there, we're going to listen about the business.
07:57We're going to establish what they want.
07:59We're going to discuss the types of flowers that we could add into that installation.
08:02We're then going to see how we can match the two together once we've listened to them.
08:05We're then going to decide on a price.
08:07We're going to push for as much as we can without over-promising.
08:10Yeah.
08:10And then we're going to get a clear idea of exactly what they're expecting.
08:13Also, please, please, please, do not go there.
08:16And over-sell, over-do, over-promise.
08:19That's exactly what you want.
08:19Actually, one thing I just don't like.
08:21Yes.
08:21What we're not going to do at any point is offer perfection.
08:24Because if there is one leaf out of place and we've offered perfection, someone's going home.
08:29Team Alpha!
08:31Let's get it, guys.
08:41Well, I mean, being sub-team leader this week, I mean, hopefully I can bring some fresh ideas.
08:46We hope so, too, mate.
08:48Well, what I do know is I've got the right suit for the job.
08:51Yay!
08:52I love it.
08:54Central London.
08:56Hi.
08:57Hi.
08:57Nice to meet you.
08:58Nice to meet you.
09:00At a floral studio...
09:02So I hold my foliage, so I go, filler, flower, flower.
09:07OK.
09:08Yeah?
09:09After a crash course in bouquet building...
09:11As you can see, you've got none of your same flowers touching each other.
09:16It's amazing, yeah?
09:16Yeah.
09:17Looking for ways to keep down costs.
09:20Obviously, we're going for pastels.
09:22As we can see, certain flowers are a little bit more.
09:24But filler flowers, luckily, aren't too expensive.
09:27Project manager, Rothner.
09:30Guys, do you like this?
09:31It's hydrations.
09:34Hydrangeas.
09:35So that is very nice.
09:37We'd have to see how much they are, though.
09:39Hydrangeas.
09:40That's £1.75.
09:41So that would be our most expensive item there.
09:43But then it'll bulk it out over there.
09:45Yeah, OK.
09:46And then I would like to add a bit of foliage,
09:48just to bulk it up a bit with the leaves.
09:51Eucalyptus is 30p plus 10.
09:53I definitely want quite a lot of them.
09:55Adding extra foliage usually is cheaper, and it's a profit task.
09:59I ideally don't want each bouquet to be any more than about £8.
10:02I'm just slightly worried we have too many fillers
10:04and not enough, like, actual flower.
10:06Can we take maybe one of them or one of them out
10:08and add another flower?
10:09I actually agree with you.
10:10But I just would rather have a bit more greenery.
10:14I think at the moment we're being a bit too price-focused.
10:17As much as we want to use things that are a bit cheaper to make a profit,
10:21we've also got to use things that are pretty
10:23and people are going to want to buy.
10:25I'm just a bit concerned at the moment.
10:26It just looks a bit flat.
10:28OK, so what are we thinking?
10:30It still looks quite thin on the ground.
10:32I just think this looks really nice.
10:36Across town...
10:37Right, guys, what I want us to do
10:39is look for the bright tropical colours, just make it really fun.
10:43Selecting stems for their bold bouquets...
10:46I was thinking, even if we have one or two premium flowers...
10:50...team tropical.
10:52This is a premium one, to be fair, but the colour is gorgeous.
10:56That is quite expensive.
10:58Anterium is £2.
10:59I'm happy with that.
11:00Chico leaves.
11:02They give me tropical vibes.
11:04OK, cool.
11:04We have the veronicas.
11:06I've got one, two, three, four veronicas.
11:07I like the shape.
11:08The shape?
11:09That's quite cute.
11:10It looks very tropical, but it's not full for me.
11:13There seems to be not enough big flowers.
11:16Can I get one more, please?
11:17I think this yellow is not the right yellow.
11:19Yeah, if we say, for example, this yellow...
11:21That is £1.75 a flower.
11:24I think for £1.75 it's quite expensive.
11:26I like the colour.
11:27Yeah.
11:27Can I get two more of them?
11:28Yellow ones?
11:29Cool.
11:30Yep.
11:32It was a little bit like bringing kids to the shop
11:34and just telling them to throw in whatever flowers they like.
11:36I think our cost price is extremely high,
11:38so I'm extremely worried about our margins.
11:40Girls, look at this quickly.
11:42Do you see the vision?
11:43Can it work?
11:44Can we sell it as tropical?
11:45Yeah.
11:46Yeah.
11:46So that's roughly £16.
11:47OK, is this what you envisioned?
11:48Yeah.
11:52West London.
11:53I can smell your fragrance already.
11:55It's beautiful.
11:56It smells absolutely amazing.
11:57Oh, good.
11:58Pitching flowers for an event hosted by fragrance brand Connock.
12:02This is our English countryside fragrance.
12:04The main thing to understand about it is that it's elegant
12:07and says British luxury.
12:09Absolutely.
12:10Salesman Rajan.
12:12I think we've got a fantastic idea
12:14of how we can make this really special for you.
12:16My vision for you, if it's capturing your guests on the way in,
12:21then potentially an arch.
12:22It's the wow shot as they're coming in.
12:24With a lovely kind of like an archway,
12:26it would be a fantastic kind of backdrop
12:28who could really capture the essence of your brand.
12:31You know, people can hold your fragrance under the arch.
12:34The colours we can entwine with your, you know, your branding already.
12:38I love that idea.
12:39Yeah.
12:39Now, in terms of costs, for the full arch, it would be $3,000.
12:43It's a little bit above our budget.
12:45Is there anything you can do?
12:47What we could do, we could have foliage around the bottom
12:50and then the flowers coming over.
12:52That could then bring the price down.
12:53With that being said, I think the best price I could really go to
12:56would be $2,200.
12:58We still might need to come down about on that one.
13:00Yeah, just a little bit.
13:01If we could shake on $2,000.
13:03Okay, we could shake on $2,000.
13:05Okay.
13:05Yep.
13:06Amazing.
13:08I'm happy with how the meeting went.
13:09You know, Kieran was a little bit disruptive.
13:11Felt like I had it under wraps.
13:13So, yeah, a little bit disappointed there.
13:16But overall, I think, you know, we secured a good price.
13:19In terms of the price, I think we've done pretty well.
13:22I can not skimp on the really expensive flowers.
13:24Yeah.
13:24It's not so important.
13:26I mean, they're an English countryside brand.
13:28It's less rather than more.
13:29Yeah.
13:31Across town...
13:32What we want to do is create a floral installation,
13:35something high-fashion, opulent, a show-stopping piece.
13:40Hoping to stage a sale with a West End show...
13:43Something that we were thinking about was a flower wall.
13:46It could be, like, two double horns.
13:48I would just bring it back to as long as it feels high-fashion and glamorous.
13:52PR man Lawrence.
13:55We know that what we're going to offer is that glamour
13:58and that sort of high-class element.
14:00We were looking for this about 3,500.
14:03We've done this before,
14:04and we would expect to pay about £750 for a flower installation.
14:08Right.
14:09I don't think 750 is kind of where we were looking at.
14:14I don't want to promise perfection.
14:16If we want to stick with the premium flowers,
14:17we are looking about the £2,000 mark.
14:20Or we can slightly dampen down the quality of the flowers.
14:22We can get that to about £1,500.
14:25I don't think we can sacrifice on quality.
14:27As long as it's quality, as long as it's show-stopping,
14:31final price would be £1,500.
14:32Brilliant. Thank you so much.
14:34Thank you so much.
14:35The client was really clear with their brief.
14:38They wanted something that was show-stopping, glamorous,
14:40and Lawrence, interestingly, thought he'd go in
14:42and offer the client something that wasn't perfection.
14:45That didn't really feel like a proper negotiation
14:48and almost risked them the deal.
14:50I know we've obviously had to promise show-stopping,
14:52I don't know about you fellas, but I'm not a florist.
14:54I'm not going to be delivering the best of the best.
14:594pm. Next for Vanessa.
15:01How many do you think we should be making tomorrow?
15:03I want to go around the £40 to £50.
15:07Decide how many poses to push to the public.
15:11I would want to be a little bit more adventurous
15:13and, like, just be brave enough to go for £60, maybe £10 more.
15:16Selling for £50 each, that could be £500 more.
15:19There's a huge risk to get £10 more.
15:20We don't know what the market's going to be like tomorrow.
15:22There's a lot of what-ifs.
15:23I would push for £60.
15:24I don't know if it's, um...
15:26I do agree.
15:27You know, it's a PM decision, but if we've got more, we sell more.
15:31It's a risk, though, isn't it?
15:33None of us are floral experts.
15:34We don't know how long that's going to take.
15:35It's a lot of waste if we get it wrong.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Um, so, I'm going to take a massive risk.
15:41Let's go for 60 bouquets.
15:45So, I think the safest option...
15:48We're not super experienced, so I would say that we should aim to make 45.
15:52For Rossner, flower order firmed up...
15:55Hi, Rajan. How are you? How's things?
15:57A chance to check in.
16:01We managed to secure a price of £2,000.
16:06OK.
16:06Perfect.
16:07That's great.
16:08We pitched to them a flower arch.
16:11They want to go with, like, a lovely English garden meadow.
16:14Yep.
16:14And, like, foliage and, like, wild kind of, like...
16:17Cheap, cheap, cheap.
16:18Yeah, cheap, cheap, cheap.
16:20Lots of greenery, you said, yeah?
16:22Yeah.
16:22Yeah, lots of greenery and with, like, sprinkles of, like, flowers.
16:26OK, brilliant.
16:27Thank you very much. Bye.
16:30I'm quite happy that they've decided on a lot of green foliage
16:33because I think we've...
16:33Yeah.
16:33You know, that's the cheapest.
16:35I think I understand what they're going for.
16:36They basically want something like this on an arch.
16:39Yeah.
16:42So, we've ended up with a flower wall.
16:45They were tough negotiators.
16:47Touching base with her team.
16:48They started with 750.
16:51We've walked away with 1,500.
16:53Project manager Vanessa.
16:55What type of vibe are we looking at?
16:57They wanted show-stopping, opulent,
17:00but something to do with the devil wears.
17:02Something to do with fashion, so, you know, it has to look nice.
17:05One thing to mention as well,
17:06Dan suggested, like, the devil horns
17:08and then, you know, people could take a picture in between it, but...
17:11We're happy to leave the sort of creative aspect to you.
17:14OK, cool.
17:15I'll just be very clear again.
17:16The most important thing is that it's that they wanted quality.
17:21That's the clear brief we've got.
17:22They don't want us skimping on anything.
17:24OK, awesome.
17:26Yeah, I mean, I'm a little bit nervous about that,
17:28because I did say we should be definitely transparent
17:31and not over-promised,
17:32but show-stopping, opulent.
17:35They obviously have a very, very...
17:37They've got briefs that that needs to be hit, basically.
17:39I think because Dan obviously spoke about the devil horns
17:42and it sounded like an idea that they were into,
17:44it's a safe bet to go with that.
17:48These two greenery we're going to need quite a bit of,
17:50so are we saying 100 of these and 100 of these?
17:53Yeah, I think so.
17:54I just think we're going a bit too stingy on the flowers.
17:55Oh, wait, OK.
17:56We have sold this for £2,000.
17:58OK, now let's just add the entire total up.
18:00Yeah.
18:00The total is...
18:02£219.70.
18:03It depends.
18:05If you've sold a flower installation for £2,000,
18:07the average florist will spend about £500 on flowers.
18:11Well, this team have only spent £220.
18:14I'm worried they haven't ordered enough.
18:16We've got so much for Leo.
18:17OK, hopefully it will look good.
18:226pm.
18:23I think that they'll love that.
18:24And it's a show-stopper.
18:26Design's done.
18:27I'm hoping that we can actually smash this out of the park.
18:29Sorry, not hoping, we are going to smash it out of the park.
18:31Let's go.
18:31Let's go, everyone.
18:34Tomorrow, pedal, pedals to pull in a profit.
18:436am.
18:45West London.
18:46Wow.
18:48Today, teams must transform flowers...
18:50Right, let's get some records on, let's get some work.
18:52Yeah.
18:53..into bunches of cash.
18:55My whole aim going into this was keep costs low.
18:58Filling in her followers, project manager Rosner.
19:02I hope the flowers meet your expectations.
19:05Yeah.
19:05We've got 45 bouquets to make.
19:07Costing-wise, per bouquet, how much did you say, Andrea?
19:09So the actual flowers was £8.95 per bouquet.
19:12And then the arch was £219.70.
19:16That's really good.
19:16So, obviously, we spent £219 on the arch, which is really cheap.
19:20How many flowers did you order?
19:21410.
19:22OK.
19:24A little bit concerned about the amount of flowers they actually ordered.
19:28We negotiated a £2,000 price for this archway.
19:31The customers are expecting big things.
19:33We'll have to just try and improvise as best as we can.
19:36Because it's mainly foliage, I think try and get as much of the foliage done as possible,
19:40because you're going for that whimsical, enchanted kind of vibe.
19:45Downstairs.
19:46So this was our final bouquet.
19:47We ordered for 60 bouquets.
19:49Setting out her vision.
19:51With this, you need to move incredibly fast.
19:53If we're trying to make, what, 60 of them?
19:55Vanessa.
19:57However, the priority is the corporate client for me, personally,
20:00because that is a guaranteed money right there.
20:02So we have actually designed something for you guys.
20:05This is what we have.
20:06We decided to go with some horns, which are made up of...
20:11Coronations and roses.
20:11Coronations and red roses.
20:13And then what we have in the sky, we're going to hide the hindrangers as clouds.
20:16The only thing to note in the corporate team is precision and density around the horns,
20:21so 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.
20:31But that's the design that the team have come up with, and that's what we have to go with.
20:35So, Karishma, Dan and Priyash, you're going to work on the flower wall,
20:39and Florence will be moving over to bouquets.
20:41I will be floating in between both, so I'm picking up anything that's, like, doesn't look right.
20:45But let's get going.
20:50Don't worry too much about the length, but you want it to be at a decent level
20:53so that they're sticking out, OK?
20:549 a.m.
20:56Each of them will look a bit different, but as long as, to your eye, it looks nice, OK?
21:00While Rothner's team race ahead...
21:02So far, we've got 12 bouquets done.
21:04I just want to get as many done as possible.
21:07Ideally, we want it to kind of end up looking like this.
21:09Focusing on finesse...
21:11It's a very thin line to make it look messy.
21:13Yeah.
21:14So you just have to be very careful.
21:15Team Tropical.
21:18How about my first attempt?
21:21Yeah, I'm going to help you just rearrange it, because if you look at the height...
21:24OK.
21:25When you're doing it, it's also nice to kind of turn it around so you have an equal spread
21:28of flowers.
21:29Also, just ask each other.
21:30Is that fine, guys?
21:33Yeah, I do think that one sticks out like a bit of a sore thumb.
21:37How are you guys doing?
21:37Are you guys OK?
21:38Yeah, we're just about May 4.
21:40Yeah, OK, we need to speed things up, guys.
21:42We've got to get going.
21:45Over half an hour into making the flowers, the team have only managed to produce four
21:49good canes, but they don't seem very panicked at all.
21:53I wouldn't have been taking it easy.
21:54I would be running at 100 miles an hour.
21:56The most important part as well is having that play around with it at the end.
22:00Yeah, the finesse.
22:02Yeah.
22:04I find it is quite therapeutic, to be fair.
22:06Yeah.
22:07Short on flowers to fill their arch...
22:09I feel it's nice so far.
22:11The more we put on, the better it's going to look.
22:14The other team.
22:16Oh, no.
22:18That's snapped off.
22:19I keep breaking these, and I'm putting them into moss.
22:22Rape fiddly.
22:24Remember, time is all the essence.
22:28Careful, so we don't lose any flowers or whatnot.
22:30Yeah, I'm just...
22:31I've spilt some.
22:47Right, done.
22:50They only ordered just over £200 worth of flowers for their whole arch, and most of that
22:55is foliage, so every stem counts.
22:58They're all so heavy-handed, though.
23:00They're dropping them, they're stepping on them, they're breaking them.
23:03I mean, at this rate, they're really not going to have enough to fill this arch.
23:07It really needs packing out with flowers.
23:10You know, for £2,000, it needs to be packed with the flower.
23:13Yeah.
23:17You're starting the scenery first.
23:18Yeah.
23:18So, like, around here, and then in the gaps, we're going to put the birds of paradise.
23:22Okay.
23:23Leading on her team's devilish design...
23:26If you stand here...
23:27Yeah.
23:27...the tail needs to start about here.
23:29...Karishma.
23:31We've done enough blue at the top, so now let's concentrate at the bottom to fill in the green.
23:35I don't want them to be much green.
23:37Yeah.
23:37I'm sorry, Karishma.
23:39Yeah?
23:39The blue was supposed to only go in the sky.
23:41I think you have enough blue.
23:42Well, then we're going to...
23:43I'm just using this to cover the green.
23:44I'm going to come and support you.
23:46I feel like I need to be here right now.
23:47Okay, cool.
23:48We need to focus the flowers a little bit more lower, just...
23:51And then spread it out, spread it.
23:53So make sure the back, the bottom is covered.
23:55Yeah.
23:56Guys, make sure you're pushing them in.
23:57There's two are falling out of my hands.
23:59And be mindful.
23:59Something like the tail shouldn't be covered.
24:02Okay.
24:03Guys, spread them out.
24:04Spread them out.
24:04Come on, faster.
24:06These all need...
24:06All these flowers need to be on.
24:08Yeah.
24:09Don't cut them too short.
24:10Don't cut them too short.
24:13Yeah, it's very stressful.
24:15It is very stressful.
24:15And I'm a bit more stressed because Vanessa's so stressed.
24:17Her stress is rubbing off on me.
24:19I think Vanessa needs to calm down.
24:20Maybe 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?
24:26That's what's happening today.
24:28I shouldn't be able to see the ends coming out of here.
24:30It's not...that's not good enough.
24:35Mid-morning.
24:36We've hit the quantity and let's put it into buckets and let's go.
24:39I love that. Let's do that.
24:41We've got 24 here.
24:43Two people can be working the back to finish some more.
24:45My main focus now is getting out because now we're just costing ourselves time.
24:48Yeah, but we need to start moving stuff.
24:49Yeah, let's get everything going.
24:51While half of each team pack up their corporate orders...
24:54Oh, be careful.
24:55Be careful.
24:56Be careful.
24:57No, wait.
24:57It's bending.
24:58It's bending.
24:58Stop, stop, stop.
24:59Play it out.
24:59The rest head off to market.
25:02Let's go!
25:02Let's go!
25:03Off we go!
25:04Come on!
25:06So my strategy out there is to try and sell for as high as we possibly can.
25:10I think we'll be good.
25:11Yeah, go on.
25:12Go $49.99.
25:13All right, let's do $49.99.
25:15And I'm confident we're going to sell these.
25:19Battersea Power Station.
25:21Oh, it's so busy.
25:23Base for both teams to flog their flowers.
25:26Megan, do you want to get on the chalkboard?
25:28Yeah.
25:28And write down the price.
25:29Put it down $49.99 for now.
25:32Giving their budget bouquets a premium price tag.
25:35Ladies and gentlemen, go and get your flowers!
25:39Rothner's country garden crew.
25:42Hello, can I introduce you some fresh flowers?
25:44These are hydrogens, so they're like pink, gorgeous.
25:48Fresh flowers to treat yourself or your loved ones?
25:51Just a special deal for you.
25:53It's so beautiful.
25:55What are you thinking?
25:56$49.99.
25:56It's a little too high up for me.
25:58OK.
25:58You could maybe, like, put a few in your hair.
26:01No.
26:02Can I interest you in fresh bouquet flowers?
26:05It's a tough crowd, Awe.
26:08Hello, I see smiles up there.
26:10Why don't you come over and treat yourself?
26:13This is tough, tough, tough.
26:14Are we, like, scaring people away at this point?
26:17Yeah.
26:18I'm quite concerned just because the momentum isn't there.
26:21I did listen to Kira when he mentioned the $49.99.
26:23I think now I'm going to be mindful of what he is saying
26:25and just kind of take back the rain a little bit
26:28and make sure that I stick to the pricing strategy that I feel is best.
26:31Yeah, so I think $49.99 is just a little bit expensive.
26:34So I think we should just go in and try and sell it for £40.
26:38What do you think?
26:39Change it on the board.
26:40Change it on the board.
26:40£40 it is, OK?
26:44Across the shopping centre...
26:46We have tropical flowers here.
26:48One day only.
26:49Go ahead.
26:50Make your day.
26:51For the other team...
26:52We're selling them today.
26:53£49 a bunch.
26:55Go on then, I will be the first customer.
26:56First customer.
26:58Thank you so much.
26:59Business is blooming.
27:01Our hint of summer bouquet is centred around the anterium
27:04in Italian bright red flower.
27:05Would you like to proceed?
27:07Yeah.
27:07Yeah, now you sold it to us.
27:09Guys, we've got tropical flowers.
27:12This is our stunning showstopper.
27:15Let's buy them for her.
27:16Let's make her happy.
27:17Look how happy she is already.
27:18This is my favourite.
27:20You're happy with this one?
27:20Yeah.
27:21Perfect.
27:21Give me one moment, sir.
27:22We have another sale.
27:23You can imagine them just like this in your living room, sitting room.
27:27Would you like to seal the deal?
27:28Yeah?
27:29Perfect.
27:30Could I ask and be super cheeky?
27:31Could I ask for a 50p tip just to make my day?
27:33Go on then.
27:34Brilliant.
27:35Thank you very much, sir.
27:35Take care.
27:38The team are performing their heart out.
27:40You know, everyone is giving their best.
27:42I think Connor and I naturally are more sort of salesy people,
27:45but I can't fault the effort.
27:47We've just got to shift as many as we can.
27:48They are really lovely.
27:50What type of flowers are they?
27:51So they are tropical bouquet.
27:54Exactly what it says on the tin.
27:58West London.
27:59Oh, be careful.
28:00One sec, one sec, one sec.
28:01Put the knot on, then it's held in place.
28:03Delivering on yesterday's promises to the fragrance brand.
28:06Hello.
28:07Hi, guys.
28:07How are you doing?
28:08Lovely to see you, Amanda.
28:08Lovely to see you.
28:09How are you?
28:10Hi.
28:11Rajan's corporate crew.
28:13Here is what we've created for you.
28:15What do you think?
28:16Okay.
28:16Oh, let's have a look.
28:17The overall vibe, you've nailed it.
28:20It's nice that it feels natural,
28:22but I was definitely expecting more flowers based on our conversation.
28:27But we just thought, you know what?
28:29Why not just put a little bit less flowers here
28:31and work up towards more of the built-up flowers in the middle?
28:34So it's like the blooming.
28:35I don't know, £2,000 is pushing it.
28:37I would be happier with a little bit less.
28:40What colour are some?
28:41I'm thinking...
28:42What do you think, Amanda?
28:43£1,500.
28:44£1,500?
28:45Yes.
28:45We didn't know if you wanted to have some bouquets for your guests.
28:49There's obviously eight people.
28:51What about if we say £1,800, including the bouquets?
28:54I think...
28:55And then we will be very happy.
28:58Thank you very much.
28:59Thank you so much.
29:01Thank you so much.
29:02I'm feeling pretty chuffed with what we've achieved.
29:05I mean, we did give them the bouquets of flowers, a goodwill gesture,
29:08but in the grand scheme of things, it's cost us £40 cost price,
29:12so I think we firefighted very well there.
29:14At least we got a sale.
29:15Let's go make that £200 bag.
29:17Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
29:18Yeah.
29:18Let's go.
29:19Let's go.
29:22Across town...
29:23It's stuck, it's stuck, it's stuck, it's stuck, it's stuck, it's stuck.
29:27...showcasing their vibrant vision...
29:29Do you mean, they won't move the flowers?
29:30Don't step on them, please.
29:33Vanessa's team.
29:36They look more like wings.
29:38Hello!
29:39Hello, Reggie.
29:40Hi, guys.
29:40How are you?
29:41How are you?
29:42So, we thought, what can we do to really symbolise a double S Prada?
29:45So we've gone with the horns.
29:47Prius, do you want to demonstrate?
29:48Yeah, of course.
29:49What was your first impression?
29:52Um, okay.
29:54Um...
29:55Do we think those readers' horns?
29:57I think it definitely gives some symbolism of devil.
30:01Yeah, for sure.
30:02And then with the tail coming out of the back, so...
30:04I did say inspiration from high fashion.
30:07Okay.
30:07Can you talk me through which elements you feel are high fashion here?
30:11Um, with high fashion, I definitely didn't get that passed on, but I think with the bright colours, you really
30:16can't walk past this and miss it.
30:18For me, this clashes, it's just not this show and it's not this brief, so we can't honour that original
30:24quote.
30:24So, um, yeah, if possible, if we do, like, I know we said 1,500, are we able to get
30:29to the 1,200 mark?
30:30Look, we'll recognise the labour and the time and can offer you £1,000 for it.
30:34Ultimately, this isn't something that we're going to use.
30:38I'm a little bit disappointed because I definitely mentioned to the boys, do not over-promise and understand exactly what
30:43they're looking for, and that was completely ignored.
30:47Well, unfortunately, um...
30:49Yeah, that was...
30:49They could have literally said, do you know what, we're not willing to pay for anything.
30:53Yeah.
30:53I think to lose our own £500 is... I have to be able to take it.
31:00Mid-afternoon.
31:01All right, team, let's huddle.
31:02Are we saying it's best to just plug it all at £30?
31:06Otherwise, we're going to be left with a load of flowers.
31:09Still pruning back prices...
31:11As long as we sell them for around £20 minimum, we're making profit.
31:16Rothner's sales squad.
31:18This is my special one I make myself.
31:21Look how beautiful they are. It's the biggest one I could find.
31:23That's stunning. How much?
31:26They're £30, though.
31:27Yes, we'll have them.
31:28Amazing. Right, OK.
31:30So the price is £30 for them, please.
31:33And that will be £30.
31:35£30?
31:36Good, bad.
31:37Why don't you meet me and we're going to do £27.50, huh, bye?
31:40Yeah, £27.50, amazing.
31:42The least I can do is £25 today.
31:44OK.
31:45OK, deal, perfect.
31:46How about two for £20 each?
31:49Oh, you drive a hard bargain.
31:51All right, fine.
31:52Down to £20.
31:54Yeah, great.
31:54Yeah.
31:54Like that.
31:55We've got a bunch of flowers for you for £20.
31:57So, yeah, so two for £40.
31:59Thanks so much.
32:02It's going really good.
32:03We're making quite a few sales now.
32:04My only worry is, are we going a bit too low sometimes?
32:07But 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 not going to get any profit.
32:13But the best that I can do today from £30 is £20.
32:18£80.
32:19£19 and we'll shake on it.
32:21OK, OK.
32:22Perfect.
32:22We'll shake on it.
32:23Perfect.
32:26On the other team...
32:27All right, guys, I think we're doing really well.
32:29We're starting to really get these sales coming through.
32:33Rethinking roles...
32:34We have six bouquets left.
32:35Do we think at least one of us should focus on bouquet creation now?
32:39I do think that's a good idea.
32:41Lawrence...
32:42I'm going to put you two guys on to making some bouquets.
32:45OK, so do you want the two girls to just stay there and just bang, bang, bang?
32:48Yeah, we will focus on the sales.
32:50If you guys can make them and really throw them together.
32:52Absolutely.
32:53People are going to enjoy watching you make them.
32:55I can see this in your living room, in your kitchen area.
32:58They're tropical.
32:59It's a flash of summer.
33:00Can I run around or can I make more?
33:01No, make more.
33:02We don't have any, so...
33:04Could I ask for a 50p tip for the smile?
33:06Oh, good.
33:07Thank you so much.
33:08Now, so £25.85.
33:10Perfect.
33:12And then the wonderful Pasha is going to hand you a fresh bouquet.
33:15Thank you so much.
33:16Have a lovely rest of your day.
33:17Sorry, I have this nice couple that have been waiting for some time.
33:20Give us a sec.
33:23I 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.
33:30The boys are sort of out there trying to sell, which is fine, but we're running out of bouquets.
33:34We 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?
33:43Hello, ladies.
33:46Five p.m. Corporate orders fulfilled.
33:49They're absolutely beautiful, these.
33:51They are stunning.
33:52Yeah.
33:53For both teams...
33:54How about we do £50?
33:56Yeah.
33:56Yeah.
33:57A chance to flog leftover flowers to trade.
34:00We've been selling these at £40, okay?
34:03I'll take them all for £40.
34:05We'll shake on that.
34:08Fresh and freshly packed.
34:10Bouquets, you'll never see again.
34:1220 minutes till sales must cease.
34:15Last bunch of flowers!
34:17Fresh out of stock.
34:19Right, guys, we are officially out over this side.
34:22For Rothner's team...
34:23We've got a few leaves left.
34:25You want to bunch them together.
34:26A plan to flog foliage.
34:28Sell them for whatever you can.
34:30But make it a little cute bunch, please.
34:32Amazing.
34:33She clicked us.
34:34But in the shower, the hot steam comes up.
34:37They've sold out, but there's still so many people here who want to buy flowers.
34:42Clearly, they just didn't make enough.
34:45They could have sold an awful lot more bouquets for a higher price.
34:49What a missed opportunity.
34:51Ten minutes to go.
34:52Down to £21 in total?
34:54Yeah, that's good.
34:54For both teams, a final push.
34:56I love when I'm on a man pays for the flowers.
34:58I want to try and get some sales out.
35:00I understand that, but we just need to make them up as quickly as possible.
35:03So we're selling it for £2.50, is that okay?
35:06Right, we're charging you £2.00 tonight.
35:08Can I get three cheers for our last customers of the day?
35:11Yes!
35:12Hit, hit!
35:13Hey!
35:14See you later.
35:15Thank you so much.
35:20Trading over.
35:22We managed to sell absolutely everything out.
35:24Yeah.
35:25So good work, guys.
35:26Let's hope it was enough.
35:28I'm a little bit apprehensive that we obviously dropped the price quite low.
35:32That could come back and bite me, but that still made a profit every single bouquet sold.
35:35So I feel quite proud.
35:37Listen, guys, I know people were keen to try and sell more, but actually you getting behind
35:41and actually doing it drew more sales in.
35:43We have some expensive stock left over.
35:45My only fear.
35:46Yeah.
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.
35:53We have too much excess stock, and I think it's going to really affect our bottom line.
35:56Oh, there's so many beautiful flowers.
36:00Tonight, profits processed.
36:02Tomorrow, for one team, the sweet smell of success.
36:14Christmas, how are you feeling this morning?
36:16I feel like no one's immune from being thrown under the bus big time.
36:20We needed more bouquets.
36:21So, like, me and Christmas were focusing a lot on making bouquets.
36:24So, yeah, I'm a little bit worried.
36:27I don't know about you, but I'm feeling very confident.
36:29My flowers are fire.
36:30We were hearing that your flowers are pretty dull and boring.
36:33Look, in the boardroom today, it's all going to be weeded out.
36:36Yeah.
36:43Going into the boardroom, I'm actually pretty confident.
36:45I really got a chance to show everybody that I'm a worthy enough candidate.
36:49I did what I was asked to do by a PM.
36:51Of course, I have doubts in my mind about decisions I've made,
36:54but ultimately, I'll stand by them.
36:56I know I could have performed better, but win or lose, I'm not going anywhere.
37:05You can go through to the boardroom now.
37:18So, let's see how you went in this War of the Roses.
37:24We'll start with Eclipse.
37:27Eclipse, Rostner, you became the project manager of Eclipse, is that right?
37:33Yes.
37:33So, I actually really wanted Country Garden just because it's a profit task,
37:38and I knew that filler flowers and foliage would be my main focus for this task.
37:42Yeah.
37:43This is a typical bouquet of yours, yeah?
37:45Yes.
37:47Oh, thank you, Leigh.
37:50My pleasure.
37:50Thank you so much.
37:52So, this, no disrespect, is the cheaper end of the market, some of this stuff, yeah?
37:59Yeah, I knew that because I've worked with eucalyptus before,
38:02and I know that they're great filler flowers that make a bouquet look a lot bigger than they are,
38:06and you could actually charge a lot more for it.
38:09Rostner was really keen that it looked substantial, but it didn't cost very much.
38:14Yeah.
38:14Hmm.
38:16Okay.
38:16And you don't think that's a little bit dull, no?
38:20It's like that Keir Starmer would buy his wife on her birthday.
38:23It's a bit boring, is it?
38:24Yeah, it's boring, yeah.
38:25I think it looks a beautiful bouquet, and I would buy it and have it in my own.
38:29Thanks, Adrian.
38:31So, you spent £400, I heard, on this, which came out at £8.88 per bouquet, right?
38:40Were you involved in making them up, Keir?
38:43And I heard you were a bit unstable in flower arranging.
38:48Yeah, I spilt some flowers a few times.
38:51You spilt them, you stepped on them, you broke them, you had the touch of an elephant.
38:56And they were quite flimsy, so they kept snapping.
38:59But we got there in the end.
39:00You had all the finesse of an airport baggage holder, I was told.
39:04Yeah.
39:05You did.
39:06Yeah.
39:07Megan, what were you doing in this task?
39:09I was making the bouquets, Lord Sugar.
39:10Right, and I understood that you had difficulty in pronouncing the names of some of the flowers.
39:18Yeah, it wasn't my strongest area, I must admit.
39:20Yeah, not hydrangeas, hydrogens.
39:22Oh, yeah, she said that.
39:24Sorry about that.
39:25Well, thank God you wasn't selling fuchsias.
39:28Yeah.
39:28Yeah.
39:29Moving on, the corporate team.
39:32I led the sub team.
39:33So we went to meet the client in the morning.
39:35This is the client that does the fragrances?
39:38Correct, yeah, Conic, they were called.
39:39Right, so you started negotiating with the client, and I think you went in at something like three and a
39:44half grand, didn't you?
39:45Three thousand.
39:47Three thousand.
39:48Yeah, so I went into the pitch with three...
39:49For that money, forget a flower arch, you need marble arch.
39:52Yeah.
39:53I think the client saw that too.
39:55Yeah.
39:56So I wanted to go in high, knowing that they would bring me down, and I got them up to
40:00two thousand.
40:01Right.
40:01We then presented the arch to the client, and they then proceeded on to say that, you know, they think
40:06that the two thousand pounds was a bit excessive on their end, and then Andrea came out with a great
40:11idea.
40:11Luckily, we had some of the bouquets that the other team prepared for us.
40:15We then shook on eighteen hundred pounds, including the bouquets.
40:18I have to say, I thought it looked good.
40:20Oh, thank you.
40:20Right, now, what about the actual bouquets?
40:24Who was outselling them?
40:25It was myself.
40:27Harry and Megan.
40:28Yep, and Kieran.
40:29I've got some figures here, £49.99.
40:32Yeah, so on the way there, Kieran was quite confident.
40:34Having looked at the bouquet, he can push for £49.99.
40:37Now, for me...
40:37Did you ever sell one at that price?
40:38No, we didn't.
40:39We then went to £40, didn't sell one.
40:41People were, like, avoiding us, like the plague.
40:43We were pretty worried at the beginning, because we started so high, and we were like, we're not going to
40:47sell any of these.
40:48But then we actually were selling them like hotcakes.
40:50They were flying off the shelves.
40:52All right.
40:53Okay.
40:53Let's move on to the other team, Alpha, right?
40:57Now, Vanessa, you put yourself forward as a project manager.
41:03Yeah.
41:04I wanted to try something new.
41:06You wanted to prove yourself.
41:07I guess so, yeah.
41:08I just quite...
41:08I like trying new things.
41:09You went for the tropical thing, yeah?
41:12Because I really wanted to push boundaries.
41:14I don't think it's the stuff that you see every day.
41:16Okay.
41:18And this would be your bouquet.
41:21Yeah.
41:21This is the typical, like, tropical flower.
41:25Expensive.
41:26Yeah.
41:26Yeah.
41:27So, this is not a cheap bunch.
41:29It's not.
41:29They went for the stuff you find in the garden that you normally run your lawnmower over to get rid
41:35of.
41:36They're very bright, very colourful.
41:39But from what I can see, you spent a hell of a lot of money on them.
41:43How many are we going to make?
41:44So, initially, I wanted to make 40 to 50.
41:48So, I've got 45, and the team convinced me that we should go for the 60, because they believed that
41:52they 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 our bouquets at the stall itself, which meant two man down for selling.
42:03So, how many did you make?
42:06I believe there was 20 made by the end.
42:09What were you doing?
42:10Growing them from seeds or what?
42:11Yeah.
42:11It was quite painful to watch.
42:13There wasn't that much organisation, was there?
42:15But Vanessa was trying to go...
42:16I really was trying.
42:17But anyway, your client that you were going to pitch to is the theatre, right?
42:25And currently running the Devil Wears Prada, is that right?
42:29Yeah.
42:30Yeah.
42:30So, what did they want?
42:31They kept using the word show-stopping and opulent.
42:34And high-end fashion, I think, is what they wanted, yeah?
42:38Yeah.
42:38But didn't they want something to do with the devil horns and things like that?
42:41Yeah, and we did put that in the final design.
42:44We suggested that, Dan, I believe.
42:45We will give them pretty much free reign to do what we liked.
42:49OK.
42:50And how much did you end up agreeing?
42:51We started off at 3,000.
42:53They said 750.
42:55It was...
42:56I understood I was being low-balled, but we doubled that 750 to 1,500.
43:00Right.
43:01OK.
43:02What did the client think when they saw the wall?
43:04We put it up and the corporate client was not too pleased.
43:08So...
43:08I mean, I've got a picture of it.
43:10I mean, it doesn't look great, does it, this wall?
43:12It looks like Elton John's QR code.
43:16Yeah.
43:18Explain to me where the horns are.
43:22It's the two red things at the top.
43:23These two things here, you say?
43:25Yeah.
43:26Really?
43:27Anyway, what did they say financially?
43:30Because you'd agreed 1,500 pounds.
43:32So they were saying essentially that they can't use it, they're not happy with it, but they're
43:38willing to offer us.
43:41Essentially, we got down to 1,000.
43:43OK.
43:44Yeah.
43:44I mean, we still more than doubled our money on it.
43:47Yeah.
43:47All right, let's move on a little bit here now.
43:50What about the main bulk of your bouquets then?
43:54We sold out of the bouquets that we brought with us and then myself and Karishma were pretty
44:00much making bouquets on the spot.
44:01Well, we had a severe amount of excess stock.
44:05Hmm.
44:06Right.
44:07Well, the last thing we need to do is to read out the results.
44:13So, Tim, tell me what Alpha spent.
44:16Yes, the team spent a lot.
44:18It came to a total of 1,436 pounds and 25 pence.
44:23Right.
44:24And what were their sales?
44:26Their total sales were 2,000 pounds and 84 pence.
44:29That gave them a total profit of 564 pounds and 59 pence.
44:34Profitable, anyway.
44:36So, Karen, same question to you.
44:39Well, Eclipse spent a lot less, 620 pounds and 50 pence.
44:45And they also sold a lot more, 2,792.50, giving them a good profit of 2,172 pounds.
44:59Good.
44:59So, well done.
45:01You won.
45:01Off you go.
45:04Well done, guys.
45:18Right.
45:19Well, unfortunately, you lost.
45:23I would take a leaf out of a gardener's book and would say it's time to remove the deadheads.
45:32Off you go.
45:43Hey, get in!
45:45We nailed it.
45:46Honestly, I am so, so proud.
45:49Those numbers, compared to the other team as well, they're all so small.
45:53I obviously think out of all the tasks we've done and out of all the pence, that was such
45:57a clear plan.
45:58Everything was perfect.
45:58I think it was amazing.
46:01Big win.
46:02Big win.
46:02You smashed that.
46:10Ultimately, the failure of the task comes down to not knowing the full brief from the
46:13corporate client.
46:14Because when they asked me about high fashion, I didn't have a response for it.
46:17I looked silly.
46:18With all due respect, when I opened 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
46:27it comes down to it, we missed what the client wanted completely.
46:30He was the leader of that group, so something has to come from there.
46:33Even if we got the full £1,500, we'd have still lost.
46:37And I think really the failure of this task is because the price of the flowers.
46:41£16 costs to make a bouquet of flowers, but that's a lot of money.
46:45I mean, literally all of the profit from this task has come from the corporate team.
46:48So if I get sent home, I can walk away with my head held high, but I'd be pissed off.
46:52I did want to keep the price low, but every single time I kind of brought it up, it was,
46:56it looks cheap, let's go for X, Y, and Z, let's go for X, Y, and Z.
46:58Honestly, I don't think the biggest fault was in the pricing strategy.
47:01We came there with so much excess stock that was left over at the end.
47:06Vanessa was easily swayed by Karishma, who wanted to go with the 60 units, and didn't
47:09listen to the practical advice and the worries that I had about excess stock.
47:12I mean, essentially, we can go around, round, round this table.
47:15So let's just go in there, and all the best.
47:27Yes, Ursula.
47:28Can you send the candidates in, please?
47:39Well, if I was a condolence card, I'd be telling you, sorry for your terrible loss.
47:48Because it was a terrible loss.
47:50You got whacked by £1,600.
47:52You spent £962.50 on all the materials to make your bouquets.
48:01Your takings on the bouquets were £950.84.
48:07So you made a loss of £11.66 just on the bouquets alone.
48:13I think what we were doing is finding flowers originally that were aesthetic and nice.
48:18Yeah.
48:18Which is why what me and Pasha were doing is trying to make a bouquet that was presentable.
48:22They were panicking away.
48:23They were, Ursula.
48:24It's like buying flowers at a garage on Mother's Day morning, you know, panicking.
48:29It was quite clear they were just throwing flowers to make a bouquet look pretty.
48:33They focused on pretty, but didn't focus on profit.
48:36That's a very good point.
48:38Yeah.
48:38And even worse still, out of the £962 that you spent, at the end you threw some stock away, didn't
48:46you?
48:47A huge amount of stock.
48:48So we had enough to make 60.
48:49We only made 43 bouquets, which is my biggest concern here.
48:53£272.
48:54Of 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 because we were under so much pressure to make bouquets while we were there,
49:05they missed half the clients that we could have got if me and Pasha were also selling.
49:09Yeah.
49:09But anyway, moving on with the corporate team, you spent £473 on that bloody stupid wall.
49:18It was more like the hanging gardens of Bethnal Green.
49:21Just for your reference, after you left, they chucked it out.
49:25That's how good it was.
49:26Yeah.
49:26Right?
49:27So who built the wall?
49:31Dan, Priyash, myself and Karish.
49:33Dan and Priyash.
49:34Yeah.
49:35Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men.
49:38They're not at one point, any of them say this is not what the client's looking for.
49:42We did at one point give the idea of the, I think Dan gave the ideas to the client with
49:46the two devil horns and the tail and they didn't say no to the idea.
49:49You know, that wall was a disaster and the negotiation for it was ridiculous.
49:57I understand, Lord Sugar.
49:58I mean, we doubled from where we were.
50:00It's not perfect.
50:01I will hold my hands up to that.
50:03Doubled, but you didn't get it, did you?
50:06When you finally turn up with that thing, they only give you a thousand quid, don't they?
50:12So where do you think the failure of this task lays with them?
50:15I think ultimately on the other side here, partly because we did make a profit on our particular
50:20product.
50:20Although it was bad, we did make...
50:22Where do you think it lays, Connor?
50:23Do you think it lies with us?
50:25I do think it lies...
50:26Who out of the U4 then do you think is...
50:28I think ultimately, Vanessa, you made the decision on the bouquet and then I do think,
50:32Karishma, you ultimately influenced Vanessa to go up higher.
50:35I don't think £160 on an extra 10 broke the camel's back.
50:38I don't think that was the point of failure.
50:41I think it's okay to say Karishma also did that, but you guys still took very long to
50:44make it.
50:46Right.
50:46Well, Vanessa, who are you bringing back into this boardroom?
50:50I'd have to definitely bring somebody back from both sides.
50:53And this side, I'm going to have to bring Pasha back.
50:55And I can give the reasons after.
50:57I'm happy to do that.
50:58And I think on this side, I'm going to have to...
51:01Lawrence, I think you being the sub-leader could have definitely pushed it out a bit
51:04more.
51:05Right.
51:06Okay.
51:08The rest of you, go back to the house.
51:19Right.
51:20Well, I'm going to talk to Tim, who was with you all of the time.
51:26Baroness Brady knows you.
51:29And at least one of you is going to be leaving the process today.
51:33Okay?
51:34Yeah.
51:44Well, what do you have to say, Tim?
51:46You were with them.
51:47I'm slightly confused with Vanessa.
51:49One, why she's brought in Pasha.
51:51Pasha did well throughout this task.
51:52She was really enthusiastic.
51:54And everything that was signed off with regards to the flowers was Vanessa's fault.
51:58They lost this by spending too much on flowers and not thinking about how they were going
52:02to make it back.
52:03And what about our friend Lawrence here?
52:05The disappointing thing for me about Lawrence is that he says, look, we made money, but
52:10he actually left a lot of money on the table.
52:13He disappointed the client and his flower wall ended up in the bin.
52:17Yeah.
52:17Okay.
52:21Yes, could you send the three of them in, please?
52:33Right.
52:34Well, Vanessa, tell me, why did you bring her back in here?
52:38So the reason why I brought Pasha back was because she was key at instrument in me picking
52:44the flowers.
52:44Even once we picked the...
52:46In me picking the flowers?
52:47No, sorry.
52:47As in the team picking the flowers.
52:48She was pushing for the more expensive ones.
52:50When I picked the cheaper alternative, she was saying no.
52:53I completely disagree.
52:55And I am shocked that I'm sat here.
52:56Honestly, I think Vanessa is just coming up with excuses, honestly, to back herself.
53:02There was no strategy, no decision at all.
53:04Lawrence, in this particular task, there was certain artistry about it that I don't think
53:12you took the ambience of the theatre into account.
53:17You sold something the client didn't want.
53:19I mean, Lord Sugar, I still doubled our money.
53:21I mean, it's disappointing.
53:23Who should be fired then?
53:24I think, ultimately, it is Vanessa.
53:27I think what a lot of thing is, obviously, I put myself in this position to lead this
53:30thing when I have no experience on it.
53:32There was no strategy.
53:33No price, no costing strategy.
53:35Let me just try.
53:35Let me just finish what I'm saying.
53:36I put myself in a position to be the PM of this task.
53:39I couldn't easily do this thing where a lot of people are doing, waiting for the perfect
53:41task.
53:42I wanted to challenge myself as something I've never done before.
53:44I do tell people, don't get involved in running something which you've got no experience in.
53:50Honestly, if I didn't put my hand up, nobody would have put their hand up.
53:53It's easy for a lot of people to hide behind the person who puts themselves forward.
53:56Who should be fired then?
53:56In all honesty, I think we're halfway through the process.
53:59Pasha has not pulled herself forward for anything, but she jumps on the back of a lot of things.
54:02If it sounds good, she's happy to go with it.
54:04And if it doesn't work out?
54:05I've pulled my weight in every single task.
54:07I've been a backbone of pretty much every task.
54:10I've done what I've been told to do to the best of my ability.
54:13We can all say what we've done from task one to now.
54:15I'm not going to shout over you.
54:16Each and every single task, I've also put myself out there.
54:19Please, can I finish?
54:19I never, ever stay silent.
54:21I'm not a background person.
54:22I'm not a background person either.
54:23Who do you think should be fired then?
54:24I think Vanessa should be fired, honestly.
54:26In the market, I was making bouquets.
54:29I took that initiative because we didn't have enough bouquets.
54:31I told you to do that.
54:33You had to do the bouquets.
54:33Yeah, but from the minute we got there, I was doing bouquets and selling as well.
54:38The issue is that flowers, you guys didn't make enough.
54:40You weren't helping us in the morning making them.
54:42I helped you do a few and I went over to the other side.
54:44A few, yeah.
54:45Because I had to be in between both.
54:46There was no leadership there.
54:47Just one thing I want to add.
54:49I did work across both teams as well.
54:51And on both days, I had a clear strategy.
54:53Neither of the days did the strategy fall apart.
54:56I do have to say, like, I have learned my lessons from this.
54:59Right, listen, I think I've heard enough.
55:01I'm going to conclude here.
55:04Pasha, I don't quite understand Vanessa's choosing you to come back here.
55:11Yeah.
55:12But your team was responsible for making the bouquets and buying the flowers.
55:19And it's quite clear that far too much was spent there.
55:23There was no cost strategy.
55:24Yeah, I don't want to hear any more from anybody.
55:27Sorry.
55:28Lawrence, you completely and utterly lost the plot.
55:32You didn't realise this was a very artistic type of thing that these people wanted.
55:38And you made them a very ugly wall.
55:44Vanessa, I don't think you led this team very well at all.
55:48In fact, I think far too much money was spent on flowers and also the manufacturing of the bouquets was
55:58a joke, a complete and utter joke.
56:01And on that basis, Vanessa, you're fired.
56:06Thank you very much.
56:19Lawrence, you'll stay in this process.
56:23Pasha, you'll stay in the process also.
56:26Simply because I can't see what you did wrong in this task.
56:31Me neither.
56:31It doesn't mean that I haven't got my eyes on you.
56:34Okay?
56:35Go back to the house.
56:36Thank you, Lord.
56:37That's right.
56:41What was the right decision?
56:43There was only one decision you could make.
56:47I took a big risk and put myself on something I've never done before and I'm not regretful about that.
56:52I think I'm an amazing person and I think I'll definitely go far in life.
56:56I think Vanessa's coming back.
56:58I've got a feeling.
56:59Well, what was she like in the ballroom?
57:00She held herself very well.
57:01She was composed.
57:02But she didn't take account of it.
57:04She didn't take account of it.
57:05Was Lawrence and Pasha shocked that they were brought back?
57:07Yeah.
57:08I was quite surprised with who Vanessa picked, but I have no idea who's coming back or which way this
57:12will go.
57:13I don't want to see any more flowers ever again.
57:15Yes!
57:17There was no way.
57:20Who else is coming?
57:21Is it just you?
57:22Yes!
57:28You look like you've been through it, mate.
57:31What happened?
57:32It was pretty brutal, to be honest with you.
57:35I mean, I do feel like I've used a life up there.
57:38I didn't get any grilling in there.
57:40He literally was saying to Vanessa,
57:41I don't understand why Pasha is sat here.
57:45If anyone is in that position as project manager, if you're bringing back the wrong people, Lord Sugar's going to
57:50see right through you.
57:51He knows.
57:52Like, he knows everything.
57:55Now, 14 candidates remain.
57:58The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner continues.
58:05Next time...
58:06I'm sending you to El Guana in Egypt!
58:10Let's go!
58:13Thrills!
58:15Nicely cooked.
58:16Grills!
58:17They sent back all the potatoes.
58:18Oh, my God!
58:20And in the boardroom...
58:21One of the worst performances in the history of this process.
58:25A one-way ticket.
58:26You are fired.
58:29Well, we've sent flowers of commiserations over to BBC Two.
58:33Angela talks to Vanessa.
58:34Join them for Unfinished Business.
58:36This and everything across the BBC is made possible because we're funded by you.
