02:15i have not even got my nice pyjamas on
02:19do you want to brush our teeth no no time mate
02:33good morning i guess you're surprised to see me but in the world of business you have to be ready
02:39at a moment's notice now your next task sounds simple i want you to make a bunch of money out
02:46of flowers now the uk spends over two billion pounds a year on flowers so this is a market in
02:53full bloom as it were you're going to create bouquets to sell to the public and i've arranged
02:59for each team to meet a corporate client who are looking to place a bespoke order the team that
03:07makes the most profit will win and on the losing team at least one of you will be fired now
03:13i'm
03:13going to mix up the teams a bit karishma lawrence and priesh swap with rajan levi and rothner
03:29so everything clear 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
03:44levi thank you glad to be here nice first job is anyone interested in putting themselves forward
03:52as pm choose a chief florist well i just did it and i need i need a minute to get
03:58gather myself
03:59i'm my hand is blooming in the sky like a flower and i see no one else's hand i mean
04:04i would you put
04:05your head i didn't mind doing it but if you're up for it i'm up for it only because i
04:09haven't had a
04:09chance i like flowers i like good things but i also want to just be do something i haven't done
04:13before so this is an amazing challenge um i want to push myself completely in a new place and thrive
04:19there so i'm my pm that's my pm i'm excited to be the project manager for this task this is
04:28not my
04:28remit i've never done flowers before but i want to show lord sugar that i can absolutely excel at
04:32anything i put my head to what is your what is your strategy that's my only question let's let's
04:37let's let's get there in a second let me move all right we're kids across the hall i've arranged
04:45flowers before so i'd feel pretty confident needing this team already running the rest does anybody
04:51have a preference on what flowers we want to do rothner from my experience if we do go for
04:58country garden that is usually a lot cheaper to buy than higher end things like roses i think the
05:02garden ones personally i wouldn't ever purchase because i just think i could grow them in my
05:06own garden in my personal opinion i feel like they look a little bit like an old style i totally
05:11get
05:11it but the good thing i would say about country garden is i know that in the flower markets it's
05:15a bit cheaper to buy not to sound cheap but it's a profit task right so at the end of
05:19the day that's
05:19my priority but i just need you all to believe in it okay amazing okay brilliant rothner was really
05:26keen on the country garden theme but if you don't arrange them right they can look like a bunch
05:32of weeds picked up from the garden if they look cheap they sell cheap and this is a profit task
05:37do you know what type of colors country garden is pastel colors like lilacs baby pink create like a
05:43relaxed vibe we're bringing the outdoors inside yeah nice i was leaning towards tropical flowers i like
05:51the vibrancy of it debating a direction for their bouquet we are talking bold bright just like all of us
05:59vanessa's team i do love the tropical idea however i feel like in the market it may be a little
06:04bit
06:04isolating whereas a classic flower you can really sell that to anyone being like you want to give a
06:09gift or you want to show your loved one you love them it appeals to everyone for a reason also
06:13if
06:13they're being imported the cost price might be a little bit higher i 100 get you i still am leaning
06:18towards the tropical flowers i think we can kind of evoke the feeling of if you don't get to travel
06:23this
06:23year you can travel with your flowers it's time to like get the vibrancy out and i probably will go
06:27for tropical flowers that okay everyone yeah we have to be very cautious because bald can be
06:33brilliant but ball can be extremely risky
06:38next so if we could now decide on a team split choose who will focus on flowers i'll be on
06:45the bouquet
06:46team with andrea harry and megan and who will woo the client and then the corporate team can i get
06:53somebody that's happy to be a sub-team leader on that side i don't mind putting myself up for
06:57sub-team looking at the previous market task yeah thoroughly enjoyed it and we i've done a very good
07:02job there so i mean our sub-team leader two tasks ago for the corporate i'm happy to do it
07:06again
07:07didn't you get a really good negotiation on the one i did yes yes i think that yeah you absolutely
07:13smashed that yeah yeah so i think it's best for rajah to be a sub-team leader i'm more than
07:17happy
07:17brilliant she's definitely made a mistake there i think i'm one of the strongest sellers in the group
07:23however i think me and raj will leave this one and get the deal done obviously pricing is really
07:29important i obviously want to make sure that you negotiate a really good price okay try and go as
07:34high as you can happy perfect good corporate side i'm going to put lawrence dan and priesh arranging
07:43her bunch with lawrence as the sub-team lead project manager vanessa i put a lot of trust into
07:50you you're going to please the corporate client and make sure you understand everything they want
07:53just understand your vibe we're going to go in there we're going to listen about the business we're
07:57going to establish what they want we're going to discuss the types of flowers that we could add into
08:01that installation we're then going to see how we can match the two together once we've listened to
08:05them we're then going to decide on a price we're going to push for as much as we can without
08:08over
08:09promising yeah and then we're going to get a clear idea of exactly what they're expecting also please
08:14please please do not go there and oversell overdo over promise actually one thing i just don't like
08:21yes what we're not going to do at any point is offer perfection because if there is one leaf out
08:26of
08:26place and we've offered perfection 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 hope so too mate well what i do know is i've got the right suit for the job i
08:51love it central london
08:56nice to meet you at a floral studio so i hold my foliage so i go filler flower flower okay
09:07yeah
09:09after a crash course in bouquet building as you can see you've got none of your same flowers touching each
09:15other it's amazing yeah looking for ways to keep down costs obviously we're going for pastels as we
09:22can see certain flowers are a little bit more but filler flowers luckily aren't too expensive
09:27project manager rothner guys do you like this it's hydrations
09:35that is very nice we'd have to see how much they are though hydrangea that's 1.75 so that would
09:41be our
09:42most expensive yeah item there but then it's both it'll bulk out yeah okay and then i would like to
09:47add a bit of foliage just to bulk it up a bit with the leaves eucalyptus is 30 people 30
09:52percent i
09:53definitely want quite a lot of them yeah adding extra foliage usually is cheaper and it's a profit task
09:58i ideally don't want each bouquet to be any more than about eight pounds i'm just slightly worried we
10:03have too many fillers and not enough like actual flower can we take maybe one of them or one of
10:08them out
10:08and add another flower i actually agree with you but i just would rather have a bit more greenery
10:14i think at the moment we're being a bit too price focused as much as we want to use things
10:19that are
10:19a bit cheaper to make a profit we've also got to use things that are pretty and people going to
10:24want
10:24to buy i'm just a bit concerned at the moment it just looks a bit flat okay so what are
10:29we thinking
10:30it still looks quite thin on the ground i just think this looks really nice
10:36across town right guys what i want us to do is look for the the bright tropical colors just make
10:42it really fun selecting stems for their bold bouquets i was thinking even if we have one or two premium
10:49flowers team tropical this is a premium one to be fair but the color is gorgeous that is quite expensive
10:57and therium is two pounds i'm happy with that chico leaves they give me tropical vibes okay cool we
11:04have the rub veronicas i've got one two three four veronicas i like the shape the shape that's quite
11:09cute it looks very tropical but it's not full for me yeah there seems to be not enough big flowers
11:16can i get one more please i think this yellow is not the right yellow yeah if we say for
11:20example this 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
12:05understand about 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
12:56to would be two thousand two hundred we still might need to come down about just a little bit if
13:01we
13:01could shake on two thousand okay we can we can shake on two thousand okay yeah amazing i'm happy with
13:08how
13:08the meeting went you know kieran was a little bit disruptive felt like i had it under wraps um so
13:14yeah
13:14a little bit disappointed there but overall i think you know we secured a good price in terms of the
13:20price i think we've done pretty well i can not skimp on the really expensive flowers yeah it's not so
13:25important i mean they're an english countryside brand it's less rather than more yeah across town
13:32what we want to do is create a floral installation something high fashion opulent a show-stopping
13:39piece hoping to stage a sale with a west end show something that we were thinking about was a flower
13:45wall it could be like two devil horns i would just bring it back to as long as it feels
13:50high fashion
13:51and glamorous pr man lawrence we know that what we're going to offer is is that glamour and that
13:58sort of high class element we were looking for this about three and a half thousand we've done this
14:04before and we would expect to pay about 750 pounds for a flower installation right i i don't think 750
14:11is
14:12kind of where we were looking at and i don't want to promise perfection if we want to stick with
14:16the
14:17premium flowers we are looking about the 2000 pound mark or we can slightly dampen down the quality of
14:22the flowers we can get that to about 1500 i don't think we can sacrifice on quality as long as
14:28it's
14:28quality as long as it's show-stopping final price would be 1500 brilliant thank you so much thank you
14:34so much the client was really clear with their brief they wanted something that was show-stopping
14:39glamorous and lawrence interestingly thought he'd go in and offer the client something that wasn't
14:44perfection that didn't really feel like a proper negotiation and almost risked them the deal i know
14:50we've obviously had to promise show-stopping i don't know about you fellas but i'm not a florist
14:54i'm not going to be delivering the best of the best 4 pm next for vanessa how many do you
15:01think we
15:02should be making tomorrow i wanted to go around the 40 to 50. decide how many poses to push to
15:09the public
15:11i would want to be a little bit more adventurous and like just be brave enough to go for 60
15:15maybe
15:1510 more selling for 50 pounds each that could be 500 pounds more there's a huge risk to get 10
15:20more
15:20we don't know what the market's going to be like tomorrow there's a lot of what ifs i would push
15:24for
15:2460. i don't know if it's um i i do agree you know it's a pm decision but if we
15:29got more we sell more
15:31it's a risk though isn't it none of us are floral experts we don't know how long it's going to
15:35take
15:35it's a lot of waste if we get it wrong yeah um so i'm going to take a massive risk
15:41let's go for 60
15:42bouquets so i think the safest option we're not super experienced so i would say that we should aim
15:50to make 45. for rossner flower order firmed up hi rojan how are you how's things a chance to check
15:59in
16:00we managed to secure a price of two thousand pounds okay 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 wild kind of like cheap cheap cheap yeah cheap cheap cheap lots of greenery you said yeah yeah
16:22yeah lots of greenery and with like sprinkles of like flowers okay brilliant thank you very much
16:28bye i'm quite happy that they've decided on a lot of green foliage because i think we've you know
16:33that's the cheapest i think i understand what they're going for they basically want something
16:37like this on an arch yeah so we've ended up with a flower wall they were tough negotiators touching base
16:47with her team they started with 750 we've walked away with 1500 project manager vanessa what type of
16:56vibe are we looking at they wanted show stopping opulent but something to do with the devil wears prada
17:02something to do with fashion so you know it has to look nice one thing to mention as well dan
17:06suggested
17:07like the devil horns and then you know people could take a picture in between it but we're happy to
17:12leave the sort of creative aspect to you okay cool i'll just be very clear again the most important
17:17thing is that it's that they wanted quality that's the clear brief we've got they don't want us skimping
17:24on anything okay awesome yeah i mean i'm a little bit nervous about that because i did say we should
17:29be definitely transparent and not over promised but show-stopping opulent they obviously have a very
17:36very they've got briefs that that needs to be hit basically i think because dan obviously spoke
17:41about the devil horns and it sounded like an idea that they were into it's a safe bet to go
17:45with
17:46that these two greenery we're going to need quite a bit of so so are we saying 100 of these
17:52100 of
17:52these yeah i think so i just think we're going a bit too stingy on the flower oh wait okay
17:56we have
17:56sold this for 2 000 pounds okay now let's just add the entire total ups yeah the total is 219
18:02pounds 70
18:04if you've sold a flower installation for 2 000 pounds the average florist will spend about 500
18:10on the flowers well this team have only spent 220 i'm worried they haven't ordered enough we've got
18:16so much for leo okay hopefully it will look good
18:216 pm i think that they'll love that and it's a show stop up designs done i'm hoping that we
18:28can
18:28absolutely smash this out of the park sorry not hoping we are going to smash it let's go let's go
18:32let's go everyone tomorrow pedal pedals to pull in a profit
18:426 a.m west london wow today teams must transform flowers right this gets vibrant
18:51this gets work yeah into bunches of cash my whole aim going into this was keep costs though
18:57filling in her followers project manager rosner i hope the flowers meet your expectations yeah
19:05we've got 45 bouquets to make costing wise per bouquet how much did you say andrew so the actual
19:09flowers was 8.95 per bouquet and then the arch was 219 pounds 70. that's really good so obviously we
19:17spent 219 pound on the art which is really cheap how many flowers did you order 410. okay
19:24a little bit concerned about the amount of flowers they actually ordered we negotiate a 2 000
19:29pound price for this archway the customers are expecting big things we'll have to just try and
19:34improvise as best as we can because it's mainly foliage i think try and get as much of the foliage
19:39done as possible because you're going for that whimsical enchanted kind of vibe downstairs so this
19:46was our final bouquet we ordered for 60 bouquets setting out her vision with this you need to move
19:52incredibly fast so we're trying to make what 60 of them vanessa however the clarity is the corporate
19:59client for me personally because that is a guaranteed money right there so we have actually designed
20:03something for you guys this is what we have we decided to go with some horns which are made up
20:09of
20:10coronations and red roses um and then what we have in the sky we're going to have the hydrangeas
20:15as clouds yeah the only thing to note in the corporate team is precision and density around the
20:21horns so they're clearly horns otherwise it'll just look like a mess my issue with the flower
20:26wall design is that the corporate client might find it a bit too gimmicky so they might think of it
20:30as
20:30a halloween element to it but that's the design that the team have come up with and that's what we
20:34have to go with so karishma dan and priyash are going to work on the flower wall and lorence will
20:40be
20:40moving over to bouquets i will be floating in between both so i'm picking up anything that's like
20:44it doesn't look right but let's get going
20:50don't worry too much about the length but you want it to be a decent level so that they're sticking
20:53out
20:53okay 9am each of them will look a bit different but as long as to your eye it looks yes
20:59okay
20:59while rothner's team race ahead so far we've got 12 bouquets done i just want to get as many done
21:05as
21:05possible ideally we want it to kind of end up looking like this focusing on finesse
21:11raised in lines for making it look messy yeah 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 good cakes 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
22:04finding 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 keep breaking these and i'm putting them into moss rape fiddly remember time is all
22:25the essence careful so we don't lose any flowers and whatnot yeah i'm just i've spilt some
22:47right done
22:50they only ordered just over 200 pounds worth of flowers for their whole arch and most of that is
22:55foliage so every stem counts they're all so heavy-handed though they're dropping them they're
23:01stepping on them they're breaking them i mean at this rate they're really not going to have enough
23:06to fill this arch it really needs packing out with flowers you know for two thousand pound it needs
23:11to be packed with the flower yeah you start doing the scenery first so like around here and then in
23:20the gaps we're going to put the birds of paradise okay leading on her team's devilish design if you stand
23:26here yeah the tail needs to start about here karishma we've done enough blue at the top so now let's
23:33concentrate at the bottom to fill in the green i don't want them to be much green yeah it's quickly
23:37sorry krishma yeah the blue was supposed to only go in the sky i think you have enough i'm just
23:43using
23:43this to cover the green i'm gonna come and support you i feel like i need to be here right
23:47now okay cool
23:48we need to focus the flowers a little bit more lower just and then spread it out sporadic so make
23:53sure the back
23:53the bottom is covered yeah guys make sure you're pushing them in there's two are falling out of my
23:58hands and be mindful something like the tail shouldn't be covered okay guys spread them out
24:03spread them out come on faster these all need all these flowers need to be on yeah don't cut them
24:09too
24:10short don't cut them too short yeah it's very stressful it is very stressful and i'm a bit more
24:16stressed because vanessa's so stressed her stress is rubbing off on me i think vanessa needs to calm down
24:20maybe she should be on the bouquet team and not on our team you know the too many cooks mess
24:25up the
24:25broth or whatever it is that's what's happening today i shouldn't be able to see the ends coming
24:30out of here it's not that's not good enough mid-morning we've hit the quantity and let's put it into
24:38bucket and let's go i love that let's do that we've got 24 here two people can be working the
24:44back to
24:44finish some more my main focus now is getting out because now we're just costing ourselves but we need to
24:48start moving stuff yeah let's get everything going while half of each team pack up their
24:53corporate orders oh be careful be careful be careful no wait it's bending it's bending
24:58man stop stop play down the rest head off to market let's go let's go off we go come on
25:05so my strategy out there is to try and sell for as high as we possibly can
25:10i think we'll be good yeah go on go 49.99 all right let's do 49.99 and i'm confident
25:16we're going to sell
25:18these battersea power station oh it's so busy base for both teams to flog their flowers
25:26megan do you want to get on the chalkboard yeah and write down the price put down 49.99 for
25:31now
25:32giving their budget bouquets a premium price tag
25:35ladies and gentlemen go get your flowers rothner's country garden crew
25:42hello can i introduce you some fresh flowers these are hydrogens and so they're like pink
25:47gorgeous fresh flowers to treat yourself or your loved ones just a special deal for you really so
25:54beautiful what are you thinking 49.99 it's a little too high okay maybe like put a few in your
26:00hair
26:01can i interest you in fresh bouquet flowers it's a tough crowd howie hello i see smiles up there why
26:10don't you
26:10come over and treat yourself this is tough tough tough are we like scaring people away at this point yeah
26:18i'm quite concerned just because the momentum isn't there i didn't listen to kira when he mentioned
26:22the 49.99 i think now i'm going to be mindful of what he is saying and just kind of
26:26take back the
26:27rain a little bit and make sure that i stick to the pricing strategy that i feel is best
26:31yeah so i think 49.99 is just a little bit expensive so i think we should just go in
26:36and try
26:36and sell it for 40 pounds what do you think oh change on the board 40 pounds it is okay
26:44across the shopping center we have tropical flowers here one day only make your day for the other team

27:38the 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
27:54okay exactly what it says on the tin west london oh be careful one sec one sec one sec put
28:01the
28:01knot on then it's holding held in place delivering on yesterday's promises to the fragrance brand hello
28:06hi guys love to see you amanda how are you hi rajan's corporate crew here is what we've created
28:14for you what do you think okay let's have a look the overall vibe you've nailed it it's nice that
28:21it
28:21feels natural but i was definitely expecting more flowers based on our conversation but we just thought
28:28you know what why not just put a little bit less flowers here and work up towards more the built
28:32up
28:33flowers right in the middle so it's like the blooming i don't know two thousand pounds is pushing
28:37it i would be happier with a little bit less so i'm thinking what do you think amanda 1500 1500
28:45yes 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 will be very
28:56happy
28:57thank you thank you very much thank you thank you thank you so much thank you so much i'm feeling
29:03pretty chuffed with what we've achieved i mean we did give them the bouquets of flowers a goodwill
29:08gesture but in the grand scheme of things it's cost us 40 pounds cost price so i think we firefighted
29:13very well there at least we got a sale yeah let's go make that 200 pound bag yeah that's what
29:17yeah let's
29:19go let's go across town it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's stuck it's not
29:26showcasing their vibrant vision do you mean i think we'll move the flowers that actually don't
29:31step on them please vanessa's team they look more like wings hello hello ready hi guys
29:41so we thought what could we do to really symbolize devil's brother so we've gone with the horns
29:47for us you want to demonstrate yeah of course what is your first impression um okay um
29:55do we think those readers horns i think it definitely gives some symbolism of devil
30:00yeah for sure remember the tail coming out of the back so i did say inspiration from high fashion okay
30:07can you talk me through which elements you feel are high fashion here um with high fashion i definitely
30:13didn't get that passed on but i think with the the bright colors you really can't walk past this and
30:17miss it
30:18for me this clashes it's just not this show and it's not this brief so we can't honor that original
30:23quote so um yeah if possible if you do like i know we said 1500 are we able to get
30:29to the 1200 mark
30:30look we'll recognize the labor and the time and can offer you a thousand pounds for it ultimately
30:34this isn't something that we're going to use i'm a little bit disappointed because i definitely mentioned
30:40to the boys do not over promise and understand exactly what they're looking for and that was
30:45completely ignored well unfortunately yeah that was they could have literally said do you know what
30:51we're not willing to pay for anything yeah i think to lose our own 500 is i have to be
30:56able to just
30:57have to take it mid-afternoon all right team let's huddle are we saying it's best to just
31:04plug it all at 30 quid otherwise we're going to be left with a lot of flowers still pruning back
31:10prices as long as we sell them for around 20 quid minimum we're making profit rothner's sales squad
31:18this is my special one i make myself look how beautiful they are it's the biggest one i could find
31:23how much they're 30 pounds today yes amazing right okay so the price is 30 pounds for them please
31:33and that will be 30 pounds 30 pounds you're bad why don't you meet me and we're going to do
31:3827.50
31:39come on yeah 27.50 amazing the least i can do is 25 today okay okay deal perfect how about
31:47two for 20
31:48each oh you drive a hard bargain all right fine down to 20 pounds yeah great yeah we've got a
31:56bunch of
31:56flowers for you for 20 pounds so yeah so two for 40 thanks so much
32:02it's going really good we're making quite a few sales now my only worry is are we going a bit
32:06too
32:06low sometimes but i think the most important thing is just trying to sell it because if we take a
32:10lot of
32:10stuff home then we're just not going to make any money at all and we're not going to get any
32:13profit
32:14the best that i can do today from 30 is 20.80 19 pounds i'm gonna shake on it okay
32:21okay perfect
32:22thank you on the other team all right guys i think we're doing really well we're starting to really
32:30get these sales coming through rethinking roles we have six bouquets left do we think at least one of
32:36us should focus on bouquet creation now i do think that's a good idea laurence i'm going to put you
32:43two guys onto making some bouquets okay so do you want the two girls to just stay there and just
32:48bang
32:48bang bang yeah we will focus on the sales if you guys can make them and really throw them together
32:53people are going to enjoy watching you make them i can see this in your living room in your kitchen
32:57area
32:58they're tropical it's a flash of summer can i run around or can i make more no make more we
33:02don't have any
33:03so could i ask for a 50p tip for the smile thank you so much no so 25.85 perfect
33:10and then the wonderful
33:12pasture is going to hand you a fresh bouquet thank you so much have a lovely rest your day thank
33:17you
33:17sorry i have this nice couple that have been waiting for some time give us a sec
33:23i think the excitement of the selling and the market has got to lawrence no one else is making bouquets
33:29apart from me and krishma the boys are sort of out there trying to sell which is fine
33:33but we're running out of bouquets we don't have any made and it doesn't look great could you as
33:38well just tidy up just a tiny bit just so it doesn't look quite so messy thank thank you hello
33:43ladies
33:475pm corporate orders fulfilled they're absolutely beautiful they are stunning yeah for both teams
33:54how about we do 50 pounds yeah yeah a chance to flog leftover flowers to trade we've been selling these
34:01at 40 pounds per bouquet i'll take them all for 40 quid we'll shake on that fresh and freshly packed
34:10bouquets you'll never see again 20 minutes till sales must cease last bunch of flowers fresh out of stock
34:19right guys we are officially out over this side for rothner's team we've got a few leaves there if you
34:25want to bunch them together a plan to flog foliage sell them for whatever you can make a little cute
34:31bunch please thank you amazing she could just put it in the shower the hot stain comes up
34:37they've sold out but there's still so many people here who want to buy flowers clearly they just didn't
34:44make enough they could have sold an awful lot more bouquets for a higher price what a missed opportunity
34:5010 minutes to go down to 21 pounds in total for both teams a final push i love one of
34:57mine
34:57fades for the flowers i want to try and get some sales out i understand that but we just need
35:01to make
35:02them up as quickly as possible so the sound of two pound 50 is that okay right we're charging you
35:07two
35:07pounds alone can i get three cheers for our last customers of the day see you later thank you so
35:16much
35:20trading over we managed to sell absolutely everything out yeah so good work guys let's hope it was
35:27enough i'm a little bit apprehensive that we obviously dropped the price quite low that could
35:32come back and bite me but i still made a profit every single bouquet sold so i feel quite proud
35:37listen guys i know people are keen to try and sell more but actually you getting behind and actually
35:42doing 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 i'm feeling
35:52extremely apprehensive we have too much excess stock and i think it's going to really affect our
35:56bottom 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 going into the boardroom i'm actually pretty confident i really got a chance
36:46to show everybody that i'm a worthy enough candidate i did what i was asked to do by a pm
36:51of course i have
36:52doubts in my mind about decisions i've made but ultimately i'll stand by them i know i could have
36:57performed better but win or lose i'm not going anywhere you can go through to the boardroom now
37:18so let's see how you went in this um war of the roses we'll start with eclipse
37:28rossner you became the project manager of eclipse is that right yes so i actually really wanted um
37:35country garden just because it's a profit task and i knew that filler flowers of foliage would be my
37:40main focus for this task yeah this is a typical bouquet of yours yeah yes uh oh thank you yeah
37:49thank you
37:50so much so this no disrespect is the cheaper end of the market some of this stuff yeah yeah i
37:59knew that
37:59because of i've worked with eucalyptus before and i know that they're great filler flowers that make a bouquet
38:04look a lot bigger than they are and you could actually charge a lot more um for it rothner was
38:10really keen that it looked substantial it didn't cost very much yeah hmm okay and you don't think
38:17that's a little bit dull no it's like that keir starmer would buy his wife on her birthday
38:23it's a bit boring is it boring yeah i think it looks a beautiful bouquet and i would buy it
38:28and have it in my
38:28um so you spent 400 pounds i heard on this uh which came out at eight pound 88 per bouquet
38:40right
38:40were you involved in making them up uh kieran i heard you're a bit uh uh unstable in flower
38:47arranging yeah i spilt some flowers a few times you 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 there
38:59in
38:59the end you had all the finesse of uh an airport baggage holder i was told yeah yeah megan what
39:07were
39:07you doing in this task um i was making the bouquets all together right and um i understood that you
39:13had
39:13difficulty in pronouncing the names of some of the flowers yeah it wasn't my strongest area i must admit
39:20yeah not hydrangeas hydrogens oh yeah she said that sorry about that well thank god he wasn't selling fuchsias
39:28yeah yeah moving on the corporate team i led the sub team so we went to meet the client in
39:34the morning
39:35um this is the client that does the fragrances correct yeah conic they were called right so you started
39:40negotiating with the client and i think you went in at something like three and a half grand didn't
39:45you three three thousand three thousand yeah so i went into the pitch with that money forget a flower
39:51arch you need marble arch yeah i think the client saw that too yeah so i wanted to go in
39:57high um
39:57knowing that they would bring me down and i got them up to two thousand right we then presented the
40:02arch to the client they then proceeded on to say that you know they think that the two thousand
40:07pounds was a bit excessive on their end and then andrea came out with a great idea luckily we had
40:12some of the bouquets that the other team prepared for us we then shook on eighteen hundred pounds
40:17including the bouquets i have to say i thought it looked good thank you right now what about the
40:22actual bouquets who was out selling them it was myself harry and megan yep and kieran i've got some
40:30figures here 49.99 yeah so on the way there kieran was quite confident having looked at the bouquet
40:35he can push for 49.99 now for me did you ever sell one at that price no we didn't
40:39we then went to 40
40:40didn't sell one people were like avoiding us like the plague we were pretty worried at the beginning
40:45because we started so high and we were like we're not going to sell any of these but then we
40:48actually
40:49were selling them like hotcakes they were they were flying off the shelves all right okay let's move on
40:54to the other team uh alpha right now vanessa you put yourself forward as a project manager yeah yeah
41:04yeah um i wanted to try something new you wanted to prove yourself i guess so yeah i just quite
41:08i like
41:08trying new things you went for the tropical yeah thing yeah because i really wanted to push boundaries
41:14i don't think it's the stuff that you see every day okay and um this would be your bouquet yeah
41:21this is
41:22a typical like tropical yeah expensive yeah yeah so this is not a cheap bunch it's not they went for
41:30the stuff you find in the garden that you normally run your lawnmower over to get rid of um they're
41:37very bright very colorful but from what i can see you spent a hell of a lot of money on
41:42them how many
41:43are we going to make so initially i wanted to make 40 to 50 so about 45 and the team
41:49convinced me that
41:50we should go for the 60 because they believe that they could sell but because we ended up only
41:54making four bouquets in an hour we had to end up making a majority of our bouquets at the stall
42:00itself which meant two man down for selling so how many did you make i believe there was 20 made
42:07by the end what were you doing growing them from seeds or what yeah it was quite painful to watch
42:13there
42:13wasn't that much organization was there but vanessa was trying to go i really was trying but anyway
42:18your client that you were going to pitch to is the um theater right and currently running the devil
42:27wears prada is that right yeah yeah so what did they want they kept using the word show-stopping
42:33and opulent and and high-end fashion i think is what they wanted yeah yeah but then they want something
42:39to do with the devil horns and things like that yeah and we we did put that in the final
42:43design we
42:44suggested that done i believe or we will give them pretty much free reign to do what we like okay
42:50how much did you end up agreeing we started off at 3 000 they said 750 um it was i
42:56understood i was
42:57being lowballed but we doubled that 750 to 1500 right okay what did the client think when they saw the
43:04wall we put it up and the corporate client was not too pleased um so i mean i've got a
43:09picture of it
43:10i mean don't look great does it this wall it looks like elton john's qr code yeah um explain to
43:19me
43:20where the horns are it's the two red things at the top these two things here you're saying yeah
43:26really anyway what did they say financially because you'd agreed 1500 pounds so they were
43:34saying essentially that they can't use it um they're not happy with it but they're willing to offer us
43:40um essentially we got down to a thousand okay yeah i mean we still more than doubled our doubled our
43:46money on it yeah all right let's move on a little bit here now what about the main bulk of
43:52your uh bouquets
43:53then we've sold out of the bouquets that we brought with us and then myself and karishma were pretty
44:00much making bouquets on the spot we had a severe amount of sx excess stock right well the last thing
44:08we
44:09need to do is to read out the results so tim tell me what alpha spent yes the team spent
44:17a lot it
44:18came to a total of 1436 pounds and 25 pence right and what were their sales their total sales were
44:272 000 pounds and 84 pence that gave them a total profit of 564 pounds and 59 pence profitable anyway
44:36so karen same question to you well uh eclipse spent a lot less uh 620 pounds and 50 pence and
44:46they also
44:46sold a lot more uh 2792.50 giving them a good profit of 2172 pounds good so well done you
45:01won off you go
45:02thank you thank you very much well done guys thank you
45:18right well unfortunately um you lost i would take a leaf out of a gardener's book
45:27and would say it's time to remove the dead heads off you go thank you
45:42oh
45:43hey get it
45:46honestly i am so so proud those numbers compared to the other team as well they know it was so
45:52small
45:53i obviously think out all the tasks we've done and out of all the pms that was such a clear
45:57plan
45:57everything was perfect i think it was amazing big win big win you smashed that
46:10ultimately the failure of the task comes down to not knowing the full brief from the um corporate
46:14client because when they asked me about high fashion i didn't have a response for it
46:17i looked silly with all due respect when i opened the call i think that information is being said
46:23i believe that as sub team leader lawrence needs to take some ownership because when it comes down to
46:28it 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 the
46:38failure of this task is because the price of the flowers 16 pounds cost to make a bouquet of flowers
46:43that's a lot of money i mean literally all the profit from this task has come from the corporate
46:47team so if i get sent home i can walk away with my head held high but i'd be pissed
46:52off
46:52i did want to keep the price low but every single time i kind of brought it up it was
46:55it looks cheap let's go for x y and z let's go for x y and z honestly i don't
46:59think the
46:59biggest fault was in the pricing strategy we came there with so much excess stock that was left
47:04over at the end vanessa was easily swayed by karishma who wanted to go with the 60 units
47:09and didn't listen to the practical advice and the worries that i had about excess stock
47:12i mean essentially we can go around around around this table so let's just go in there and all the
47:16best
47:27yes can 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 you got whacked by 1600 pounds you spent 962 pounds 50 on all the
47:59materials to make your bouquets your takings on the bouquets were 950 pounds 84 so you made a loss
48:09of 11 pounds 66 just on the bouquets alone i think what we were doing is finding flowers originally that
48:17were aesthetic and nice yeah which is like what me and pasha were doing is trying to make a bouquet
48:21that was presentable they were panicking away they were like buying flowers at a garage on mother's day
48:27morning you know panicking it was quite clear they were just throwing flowers to make a bouquet look
48:32pretty they focus on pretty but didn't focus on profit that's a very good point yeah and even worse
48:40still out of the 962 pounds that you spent at the end you threw some stock away didn't you a
48:47huge
48:47amount of stock so we had enough to make 60 we only made 43 bouquets which is my biggest concern
48:52here
48:53272 pounds of excess stock laid over so i wanted to go for 60 because i thought we would have
48:59made more
49:00before we entered the market but because we were under so much pressure to make bouquets while we were
49:05there they missed half the clients that we could have got if me and pasha were also selling yeah but
49:10anyway moving on the corporate team you spent 473 pounds on that bloody stupid wall it was more like
49:18the hanging gardens of bethnal green just for your reference after you left they chucked it out that's
49:25how good it was yeah right so who was who built the wall um dan priesh myself and dan and
49:33priesh yeah
49:34bill and ben the flowerpot men um they're not at one point any of them say this is not what
49:41the
49:41client's looking for we did at one point give the idea of the i think dan gave the ideas to
49:45the client
49:45with the two devil horns and the tail and they didn't say no to the idea you know that wall
49:50was a
49:50disaster um and the negotiation for it was ridiculous i am i understand lord sugar i mean we we doubled
49:59from
50:00where we were it's not perfect i will hold my hands up to that doubled but you didn't get it
50:04did
50:04you we were when you finally turn up with that um thing they only give you a thousand quid don't
50:11they um so where do you think the failure of this task lays with them i think ultimately on the
50:16other
50:16side here partly because we we did make a profit on our on our particular product although it was bad
50:21we did make where do you think it lays connor i do you think it lies with us i do
50:25you think i think
50:26it lies who are you for then do you think i think ultimately vanessa you made the decision on
50:31the bouquet and then i do think karishma you ultimately influenced vanessa to go up higher
50:35i don't think 160 pounds on an extra 10 broke the camel's back i don't think that was so we
50:40didn't
50:40make the failure i think it's okay to say krishma also did that but you guys still took very long
50:44to
50:44make it right well vanessa who are you bringing back into this boardroom i'd have to definitely bring
50:52somebody back from both sides and this side i'm gonna have to bring passion back and i can give the
50:56reasons after i'm happy to do that and i think on this side um i'm gonna have to lawrence i
51:01think
51:01you being the sub leader could have definitely pushed it out a bit more all right okay the rest of
51:08you go back to the house thank you right um well i'm going to talk to tim who was with
51:24you all of
51:25the time baroness brady knows you uh and um at least one of you is going to be leaving the
51:32process
51:32today okay yeah thank you well what do you have to say to me were with them i'm slightly confused
51:48with vanessa one why she's brought in pasha pasha did well throughout this task she was really
51:53enthusiastic and 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 to make
52:02it back and what about our friend lawrence here the disappointing thing for me about lawrence is that
52:08he says look we made money but he actually left a lot of money on the table he disappointed the
52:14client
52:14and his flower wall ended up in the bin yeah okay
52:20yes could you send the three of them in please
52:33right well um vanessa um tell me why did you bring her back in here 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 sat
52:56here honestly i think vanessa is just coming up with excuses honestly to back herself there was no
53:02strategy no decision at all lawrence in this particular task there was certain artistry about it
53:10that i don't think you took the ambiance of the theater into account you sold something the
53:17client didn't want i mean lord sugar i still doubled our money i mean it's disappointing who should
53:23be fired then um i think ultimately it is vanessa i think what a lot of thing is obviously i
53:28put myself
53:29in this position to lead this thing with when i have no experience on it no price no costing
53:34strategy let me just try let me just finish what i'm saying i put myself in this position to be
53:38the pm 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 before well i do tell people don't
53:46get involved in running something which you've got no experience and honestly if i didn't put my
53:51hand up nobody would have put their hand up it's easy for a lot of people to hide behind the
53:54person
53:55who puts themselves behind them in all honesty i think we're halfway through the process passion
53:59has not put herself forward for anything but she jumps on the back of a lot of things if it
54:03sounds
54:03good she's happy to go with it and if it doesn't work out i've pulled my weight in every single
54:07task
54:07i've been a backbone of pretty much every task i've done what i've been told to do to the best
54:12of
54:13my ability we can all say what we've done from task one to now each and every single task i've
54:17also put
54:18myself out there i never ever stay silent i'm not a background person i'm not a background person
54:23either who do you think should be fired i think vanessa should be fired honestly in the market
54:27i was making bouquets i took that initiative because we didn't have enough bouquets i told you you had to
54:33do the bouquets it's the thing yeah but from the minute we got there i was doing bouquets and selling
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
54:46both there was no leadership just one thing i want to add i i did work across both teams as
54:50well and on
54:51both days i had a clear strategy neither of the days did the strategy fall apart i do have to
54:56say like
54:57i i have learned my lessons from this but right listen i think i've heard enough i'm going to
55:02conclude here um pasha i um don't quite understand vanessa's uh choosing you to come back here yeah
55:11but um your team was responsible for making the bouquets and buying the flowers and it's quite clear
55:20that far too much was spent there there was no cost strategy yeah i i don't want to hear any
55:26more
55:26from anybody sorry lawrence you completely and utterly lost the plot you didn't realize this was
55:34a very artistic type of thing 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 on flowers and also the manufacturing of the bouquets was a joke complete and utter joke
56:01and and on that basis vanessa you're fired thank you very much good luck good luck
56:18Lawrence
56:19Lawrence you'll stay in this process

56:36the house

56:42what's the decision there's only one decision we could make
56:47i took a big risk and put myself for something i've never done before and i'm not regretful about
56:52that i think i'm an amazing person and i think i'll definitely go for our life
56:56i think vanessa's coming back i've got a feeling what was she like in the ball then she held herself
57:01very well she was composed but she didn't take account she didn't take accountability was
57:05laurence and pasha shocked that they were brought back yeah i was quite surprised with who vanessa
57:09picked but i have no idea who's coming back or which way this will go well i don't want to
57:13see any
57:14more flowers ever again yes who else is coming is it just you
57:25you look like you've been through it mate what happened it was pretty brutal to be honest with
