00:00You're fired. You're fired. You've completely messed it up. You're fired.
00:13Previously on The Apprentice...
00:14It's going to be a long day.
00:16A long day of a good grilling.
00:18Candidates were challenged.
00:20Shall I take a seat?
00:21You can stand if you want.
00:23Business plans picked apart.
00:25Do you want my opinion on Boozy Bar?
00:26Yeah.
00:27I think it sounds like the kind of thing that my mum would get excited about.
00:30Are you joking? You want me to look at that?
00:32And in the boardroom...
00:33My advice to you is please do not give up your day job.
00:38Priyash's mobile bar ran dry.
00:40It is with regret that you're fired.
00:42Lawrence failed to seal the deal.
00:44I don't have any confidence in your business. You're fired.
00:49And Dan's plans didn't stack up.
00:51Your numbers are like a jungle.
00:53I'm not completely sure whether you understand them yourself.
00:57You're fired.
00:58Now, Karishma and Pasha go head to head.
01:02I can't believe it.
01:03I can't believe it.
01:35As the youngest here at 21 I'm sure people did underestimate me coming into this but I've proved
01:42to everyone that I might be young but I am here for the win. I'm so close that I cannot
01:48let this
01:48opportunity go. Business is in my blood. My dad, my granddad, my great-granddad all legendary
01:56businessmen but I am the first businesswoman of my family. This is definitely going to be a turning
02:01point in my career. Potentially the most important 48 hours of my life because this could be where
02:06everything for me changes.
02:20In the heart of Westminster, the Gladstone Library, a building steeped in history and tradition.
02:45Good morning. Good morning Lord Sugar. Welcome to the Gladstone Library at One Whitehall Place.
02:53Founded in 1892, this was a meeting place for people to make the most important decisions
03:00of the day. So it's fitting that we are here because in a couple of days time I'm going to
03:06be making a very
03:08big decision of my own. Twenty years ago I hired my first apprentice in this process. Someone hungry with
03:16great potential and that's still what I'm looking for today. So for your final task I'd like you to
03:22launch your businesses. You need to create a brand and an advertising campaign and then you'll have to
03:29pitch to me and leading industry experts. Afterwards we'll meet in the boardroom where one of you will become
03:36my next business partner. Now I don't expect you to do this alone, so I've organised a few familiar faces
03:44to help.
04:04Welcome back. Now I've got a coin here. So heads or tails, Karishma?
04:12No. Unfortunately, no. Pasha. You choose your first assistant. Megan.
04:24Karishma. Rothner. I miss you. Kieran.
04:36Kerrington. Hey girl. Levi. Well done. Lawrence. My brother. Pray, pray. And best to last, Vanessa.
04:58I miss you. Good. Well, remember, only one of you can win my £250,000 investment.
05:07So give it everything you've got. Good luck and I'll see you in a few days time. Off you go.
05:13Thank you.
05:14Thank you. Two days to prove that plans with promise can become successful startups.
05:21Guys, I'm so excited to see you all. Honestly. I'm so excited. Get you that win now. I know.
05:27Getting her supporters up to speed. Honestly, like, I've got my homegirls and my brother. I need you all
05:33to give me all your energy so that I can bring this home. Let's do this.
05:38Karishma. Yes, the aim of this brand is to push skincare products into the market,
05:43but the real aim is for people to actually fall in love with their skin. Skincare changed my perception of
05:50myself.
05:51When I was 18 years old, I was diagnosed with cystic acne. My reflection in the mirror was so intimidating
05:57to me.
05:57I avoid looking in a mirror for two years straight.
06:00Really nice that you can personalise it and it goes back to you.
06:02Exactly. And I think the USP is the humanisation of my brand. And I've got a degree in biomedical sciences,
06:08so I understand dermatology. We want science to be the centre of this, but I want nature to be the
06:15focus of it.
06:16I love this. Yes, sounds really good.
06:19I'm feeling so excited right now. My team has really understood the vision of my brand.
06:23They're very supportive, which makes me feel so proud to be working with them. And there's no greater feeling.
06:28I met Lord Sugar's advisors a few days ago. They said that the branding needs to be more luxury, more
06:34classy,
06:34and we need to make it look more expensive. So that's something I want everyone to keep in mind.
06:42Across the hall...
06:43My business is a recruitment company within the private healthcare sector.
06:48So I help care home managers, nursing home managers, nursery managers, basically find staff.
06:55Putting her recruits in the picture.
06:57But there are 30,000 recruitment agencies in the UK.
07:01So what I'm here to prove to Lord Sugar is how am I standing out in such a huge market.
07:07Pasha.
07:09My USP is myself, being obviously 21.
07:15The brand name as well, my middle name is Anne.
07:18And a really popular term in the healthcare sector is on-call.
07:22So I had Anne-call.
07:27But in the interviews, Claudine did mention that when you say Anne-call, it sounds like your Anne-call.
07:33Your Anne-call, yeah.
07:33So what I was thinking is Anne's calling.
07:38Or Anne-calling.
07:39You definitely want the word Anne in there.
07:41I like the idea of it because it's my company and I do want that element of me in it.
07:47Yeah.
07:51Pasha's middle name is Anne.
07:52And for some reason, she's absolutely wedded to using the name Anne as part of her brand name.
07:57I hope she drops that idea because ad is not relevant to Pasha.
08:02And Anne-call, well, it's one of the worst names I've ever heard.
08:05Me being that main touch of the company is what I want to keep.
08:09So Anne, I do like and I think we're going to stick with that.
08:15Me and Roth are going to go and do the product and branding.
08:18Dividing her disciples.
08:20And the other team will be focused on the ad.
08:22Carrington, your sub-team leader, of course, as the social media buddy herself.
08:26Beauty boss, Karishma.
08:28In terms of what I want for this TV ad,
08:32what I had in my head was a visual of a girl looking in the mirror, feeling insecure.
08:36Or Lawrence, like, trying to look at his muscles in the mirror, like, thinking,
08:39why are my muscles not bigger?
08:41Then a girl thinking, my dark circles, they're so obvious.
08:44Maybe stretch marks, scarring, acne, burns, whatever.
08:47Putting more and more makeup on, trying to put more concealer on,
08:49trying to cover up everything.
08:51And then we show, bam, she falls in love with her skin.
08:53Yeah.
08:53So what we can have is a girl feeling her skin.
08:55The sun is shining.
08:57We've got really brilliant lighting on her skin.
08:58Her skin is popping.
08:59Natural skin.
09:00No makeup, guys.
09:01Okay.
09:01Maybe your skin looks juicy.
09:02If the voiceover is in a strong feminine voice,
09:05something along the lines of,
09:06be the love of your own life, fall in love with your skin, be the sun.
09:09Always remember to end it with be the sun.
09:13Karishma is incredibly passionate about her business and she really wants the team to do well with her brand.
09:18However, she hasn't given them much room.
09:20The instructions have been so specific, there may have been no old friends necessary because she could do it all
09:25by herself.
09:26I'm trusting you guys with this.
09:27I want to bring this home.
09:32Staffing her squad.
09:33Meg, Levi and Kieran, you're going to be doing the advert.
09:37Recruitment pro, Pasha.
09:38And Megan, you're going to be my sub-team leader.
09:41What do you want your advert to show?
09:43Okay.
09:44So, my USP is that one-on-one with the care home managers.
09:49So, I had something in mind of a manager really struggling, very busy doing rotors, and then us having that
09:57conversation with her.
09:59Sounds a bit boring.
10:02Well, this is about what we do.
10:05That one-on-one is very rare.
10:07Yeah, but we can have fun with this.
10:09You want people to be engaged, not go, oh, there's another TV advert which I'm going to flick over.
10:13But healthcare is a very serious market.
10:17The people I'm going to be pitching to tomorrow are not going to be watching me as a joke.
10:21They're going to be watching me as someone else.
10:22Yeah, but you need to stand out.
10:24I've got some ideas.
10:28Kieran sounds like he wants to create a bit of a playful, jokey advert,
10:33but I need people to look at me and take me serious.
10:37So, hopefully he understands that and he doesn't take it too far.
10:40This opportunity could literally change my life.
10:43Yeah.
10:43So, it's not a joke.
10:45Please do not mess it up.
10:47I'm trusting you.
10:48I've got it.
10:49Yeah.
10:49I've got it.
10:50Cool.
10:51Good luck.
10:51See you later.
10:52All right.
10:56Midday.
10:57Today, half of each team will plan TV ads while the finalists build their brands.
11:04Yeah.
11:05I'm so glad that you came back today.
11:07I feel like I gave the TV advert team such a clear brief and I hope that they deliver
11:11because obviously this time around I can't bring anyone back.
11:13Yeah.
11:13If it messes up, it's me.
11:15It's me on the line.
11:19Back at the library.
11:20I have a lot of skills in editing, social media, so this is right up my street.
11:24I love a bit of acting, so put me right in there as well.
11:27Look at this teamwork.
11:28This is amazing.
11:29With Karishma's campaign crew all aligned.
11:32Let me set the scene.
11:34Okay.
11:34Person in the office.
11:36Mm-hmm.
11:36Super stressed, on the phone, puts the phone down.
11:39I just need some more staff.
11:42Pushing his plans for Pasha's promo, Kieran.
11:45Next thing you know, shoot to the driveway, fast car comes in.
11:49Handbrake turns on the driveway, the recruiter steps out of the car.
11:53And it's almost like you're the superhero to save the day.
11:57I think that's just going to be too silly, not serious enough, because it is professional.
12:02Yeah.
12:03I've got it.
12:04Guys, so we can literally come up with a map and then arrows blasting off.
12:08And then, like, to you, you're on FaceTime.
12:10Then Levi's on FaceTime.
12:12It's like, I can cover the whole of the UK.
12:14We've got to stick to what the briefest morning with Pasha, where she said it wasn't serious.
12:19It's private healthcare, like, it's not a funny matter.
12:22So I feel like we just need to convey that message with the advert.
12:26Sorry, Kieran.
12:28Levi and Megan are playing it too safe.
12:30Everything I say is getting shut down.
12:32Pasha put me here for a reason, because she knows that I'll make it stand out,
12:35and she knows that it'll be a bit outrageous.
12:37She says she wants it sensible, yes.
12:39But something that makes it stand out, I don't think there's an issue with.
12:42So, to start off with, we're going to have Levi. He's really stressed out.
12:45Phone down.
12:46Ah!
12:47Then I walk out at door, then Kieran's asleep in his scrubs.
12:51I'm like, why can't I get good staff?
12:53That's nice.
12:54Maybe you throw the phone at me.
12:57I'm serious, this has got to be fun.
13:00No.
13:00No.
13:05Across town.
13:06Hello.
13:08Hello.
13:08Creative agency, Isabel.
13:10My mum always refers to me as diligent.
13:13So I was thinking maybe Anne's diligent staffing.
13:17Brainstorming names for her budding business.
13:20Mmm.
13:20Just sounds a bit too long for a company.
13:23Anne's calling.
13:25Anne's calling.
13:25That might sound like a call centre.
13:26Pasha and Priyash.
13:29I do like the idea of Anne.
13:32Yeah.
13:32But I'm second guessing it now.
13:34I think steer away from the use of the word Anne.
13:37A lot of people won't understand it.
13:39OK.
13:40We don't have much time.
13:41I mean, do you have any other ideas?
13:44Um.
13:48Um.
13:52One-to-one care.
13:53Yeah.
13:54That's, that's more of like a tagline.
13:57Yeah.
13:58Um.
14:00Come on, give me some buzzwords.
14:02So I can work with just words.
14:05Um.
14:08Sorry, I'll move for a second.
14:10Um.
14:16I'm feeling so stressed.
14:18It's a lot harder than I thought.
14:19But I want it to be something that I support.
14:22If I don't support the name of the brand, then it's not going to look good.
14:26So, yeah.
14:27It's, it's a struggle.
14:29Oh.
14:30I really need to get this sorted.
14:32Because we haven't got all day.
14:39Be the sun was an initial tagline for me.
14:42But I also think, be the sun could be a great name.
14:46For Karishma, name ticked off.
14:49It's all about being the center of your solar system.
14:51Yeah.
14:51It's all about self-love and empowerment and being the focus of your life.
14:55And that does start with skin.
14:57Next, lay down her logo.
14:59Be the sun.
15:00You like it, Hannah?
15:02Yeah, she likes it.
15:03She likes it.
15:03She likes it.
15:04But for a tagline, I need something that sends that message that love your skin.
15:08It's, it's, it's a skin love story.
15:10So, maybe a skin love story.
15:12I love a skin love story.
15:14Okay.
15:14Could I have it on the right, please?
15:16Yep, that's perfect.
15:18Could we bold and sun?
15:20Yep.
15:20If we could try this in a burgundy maroon shade, please.
15:24I love that.
15:25It gives luxury.
15:26And now what I need to add to this is an illustration of a half sun.
15:29And I want it on the edge of the end.
15:32I want the rays to be smaller.
15:33More smaller, more smaller, more smaller.
15:35Yep, perfect.
15:36Can we zoom out?
15:37Let's just see that.
15:37What do you think?
15:38I like that.
15:40My main concern is they've landed on a name, which actually feels a bit more like a sun
15:45cream rather than a skincare brand.
15:47They could have gone for something a bit more obvious rather than too abstract.
15:50The sun is the main focus here.
15:53Brilliant.
15:53It stands out.
15:54Simple, effective.
15:56And clean.
15:56And clean.
15:57Luxury.
15:58I like it.
16:01Real approach recruitment.
16:03That was quite good.
16:04For Pasha and Priyash, name finally nailed.
16:08Because it is a real approach.
16:09Yeah.
16:09And it's you getting that...
16:10Yeah, I really like that one actually.
16:12Still to build a brand identity.
16:16Okay, so I want real approach to be on one line.
16:21Okay.
16:21And then I want recruitment to be underneath it.
16:23Yep.
16:23And can you put a circle around the real approach, recruitment and oval?
16:27Like that?
16:28I quite like that.
16:30Yeah.
16:30Because this name doesn't have anything to do with care in it.
16:34Yeah.
16:34I want to have something like a little symbol, like a heart rate or something.
16:39Or like a doctor's, like a nurse outfit or something.
16:41No, not a nurse outfit.
16:43Um...
16:44Or...
16:45Like a pacemaker machine or something.
16:49Um...
16:49What are they called?
16:50Um...
16:50Oh, the thing that doctors wear.
16:52Is it a...
16:52Um...
16:53Stellos...
16:53Yeah, the...
16:55The scyloscopes that doctors wear, right?
16:56Slef...
16:57Slef...
16:58Scef...
16:58Scephoscope.
17:00Scephoscope?
17:01Scephoscope.
17:03Scephoscope.
17:04I think Pasha's forgotten that she's a young, new mover and shaker into this market.
17:09She's 21.
17:10She ought to be thinking of something exciting and fun and different.
17:14But the logo she's come up with is very generic, very boring, very vanilla.
17:21Cool.
17:22Done.
17:22It has a stethoscope on it.
17:25It looks recruitment vibe.
17:27So, yeah, I think it's the best that we could have done.
17:30In the timeframe, yeah.
17:31Yeah.
17:354pm.
17:36Southwest London.
17:37We're going to have three of us.
17:39It's going to be an over-the-shoulder shot into the mirror and we're all going to be looking
17:43at different imperfection or something that we're insecure about.
17:45Kicking off Karishma's commercial.
17:48So, looking at the blackheads on your nose, trying to squeeze them, look disgusted, then
17:53step back, yeah.
17:55Carrington, Lawrence and Vanessa.
17:57Scars, and look distressed, do that head on the, yeah.
18:01And then you're done.
18:02Beautiful.
18:04And let's move on.
18:05Next, we're going to put oil here.
18:07Mm-hmm.
18:07Yeah, that's what I really like, essentially.
18:09Okay.
18:10Okay, and action.
18:13Yeah, that's nice.
18:15Yeah.
18:16Chest, yeah.
18:17Show me the bra a little bit.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Yeah.
18:24More neck.
18:25Because I think that would be nice, quite short with the bra on your chest.
18:28Yeah, that's nice.
18:29And cut.
18:31Next.
18:31Just be mindful.
18:33My shorts shouldn't just be about my chest.
18:36Yeah.
18:38I'm quite happy.
18:39I put my blood, sweat and tears into this and a bit of oil too.
18:43My only concern would be that it just looked like other content that wasn't what we were
18:47assigned to do today.
18:49We've got to try and get the voiceover sorted.
18:50Vanessa, could you try something and it's going to probably sound quite cringe when I say
18:53it.
18:53Could you do like a really breathy version of it?
18:56Sure.
18:56But not too sexy, because it's not that kind of movie.
18:59Yeah, action is running.
19:05I liked it.
19:06I think that's perfect.
19:07Yeah.
19:10Clean beds.
19:11Carol's meds.
19:12Order more bedding.
19:13Send invoices.
19:16I just need more stuff.
19:18Across town.
19:19We'll do that again.
19:20Just take that post-it note off or write one and stick it on.
19:24Yeah, screw it up, throw it.
19:25No.
19:25You don't have to be too aggressive.
19:27Charged with keeping Kieran under control.
19:29I think to gauge the audience, I think you go straight in, mental.
19:34No, just look angry.
19:36Oh, phone.
19:37Sub-team leader, Megan.
19:39Hello.
19:40Hey.
19:41How are you doing?
19:42Yeah, good.
19:43We've done the logo.
19:44So it's real approach recruitment.
19:48Did you not go with the Anne in the end?
19:50No.
19:50It was sort of like, nobody knows you for Anne.
19:53It doesn't say anything about the company.
19:55Cool.
19:55We're just doing the ad now, filming it.
19:57Would you like some drama in this?
20:01I just feel like it needs something.
20:03Kieran, when you say drama, make it realistic.
20:05I'm talking like you could potentially throw his mug on the floor in anger
20:08or something like that, just to catch...
20:10Not throwing your mug on the floor.
20:12Well, no, but you see what I mean?
20:13No, they wouldn't be throwing a mug on the floor
20:14because that's very unprofessional.
20:16Yeah, don't worry.
20:17Don't worry.
20:17I've got it under control.
20:18It's fine.
20:19All good.
20:20Yeah, don't worry about it.
20:21You can leave it with us.
20:21Good luck.
20:23Kieran and his ideas, I actually don't know where they come from.
20:27I just...
20:28His ideas are bonkers.
20:29Throwing a mug on the floor.
20:31Puffa bonkers.
20:32So, from that call, it does sound like Pasha wants to stick down the serious route,
20:35which I think we need to just stick with.
20:37Yeah.
20:37She's seen quite adamant on that, so I want to make sure that we stick with that.
20:40No smashing mugs on the floor.
20:42You don't want people falling asleep watching it.
20:44Should we crack on with this then?
20:45I stir it.
20:485pm.
20:53Oh dear, Kriash.
20:54While Pasha shoots us short for social media.
20:58Top tip number one.
21:00Make sure you understand the job that you're applying for.
21:04In Nottingham at Boots HQ.
21:06This face mask.
21:08Brightens, tightens and fights.
21:10So, it's going to be the bright tight fight face mask.
21:12Developing a new product for her beauty brand.
21:15So, we need to think what helps fight inflammation.
21:18Yep.
21:19What brightens the skin.
21:20And what tightens the skin.
21:22Biomedical science grad, Karishma.
21:24I'm in my element today.
21:25You're the expert, so you can teach me.
21:29Right, so I'm going to take a little sample of the face mask base.
21:34Yep.
21:34This is exciting.
21:36Bam.
21:36I want to stay away from anything that's not natural.
21:39Right.
21:39Now, hyaluronic acid for me is a big one.
21:41Something that a lot of people turn to when it's got dry skin.
21:44Okay.
21:44But also, it allows skin rejuvenation.
21:46Okay.
21:47Vitamin E.
21:48This is really what accelerates that skin healing process.
21:51Ooh.
21:51Love that.
21:52Aloe vera.
21:53It tightens the skin.
21:55It helps with scar healing.
21:56I think it's a great ingredient.
21:57Go for it.
21:58Bam.
21:59Jojoba oil is literally referred to as liquid gold.
22:02It's so healing and it's so incredible for the body.
22:04Bam.
22:05We've added quite a lot of things now.
22:07We still need to add niacinamide.
22:09It's really good for collagen production.
22:11Yep.
22:12And green tea.
22:12Ooh.
22:13I'm hoping for a nice, thick, rich texture.
22:16Yes.
22:16Wow, look at that.
22:17It's got a really nice little shine to it.
22:19It actually looks luxury.
22:20Yeah.
22:22Karishma is an absolute element in there.
22:24She's a lady who knows her stuff, but let's hope she doesn't get too carried away because
22:28she's throwing everything at this.
22:30Sometimes less is more with luxury and I hope she hasn't gone too overboard.
22:33I'm so excited to pitch this.
22:35But it's just when they ask you questions and say, you've got about seven solid products
22:39here.
22:39Why didn't you just go for two to three?
22:41Mm-hmm.
22:41I'm confident.
22:42This is what I'm pitching tomorrow.
22:43This is what Lord Sugar will be investing in.
22:46Okay.
22:487pm.
22:49Can't seem to get the staff round here.
22:52Nobody's reliable.
22:53Oi, you!
22:54You're fired!
22:55Yeah, see, I like that.
22:56That was great.
22:57Ads wrapped up.
22:58That's nice.
22:59That is nice.
23:02Good stuff.
23:04Brands built.
23:05Real approach recruitment has your back.
23:08Okay.
23:09Amazing.
23:09Thank you so much.
23:10Very welcome.
23:11Thanks for your help.
23:12Tomorrow, the big pitch.
23:227am.
23:23So, we came up with be the sun.
23:25You know, be the sun, be the sunshine, be the light.
23:27And our tagline being a skin love story.
23:30For both finalists.
23:31The only thing that might come up is whether it is sun cream.
23:35The important thing here is sparking curiosity.
23:37And the more I look at it, the more I love it.
23:40The big reveal of their brands.
23:42For the logo, the brand name and tagline,
23:46we wanted something that speaks for the company
23:48and is true to who we are
23:50and has a bit of a storyline as well.
23:58Nice.
23:59I think you've hit the right name for your recruitment.
24:02It don't pop out much.
24:05No.
24:06I didn't want it to pop out.
24:07Did you not?
24:07Okie dokes.
24:08Do you know what it is?
24:09I wanted something that I can imagine going out on leaflets,
24:12going out on flyers, being on my emails.
24:14If you see that, you know it's a recruitment company
24:16and then you've got the stethoscope that represents medical.
24:23The name, I like the name, Real Approach Recruitment.
24:25I really do.
24:26But I just think the logo, the colours didn't really pop,
24:29but I don't think it looked very professional.
24:31Oh, I'm glad you like it.
24:35On the other team...
24:36So, we were lab scientists for the day.
24:39Obviously, I've got background in biomedical science,
24:41so I was back at home.
24:42She was in her element, guys.
24:44Yeah, it was fun.
24:45Presenting her product...
24:46I'm excited for you to see it.
24:47It is the Bright Tight Fight face mask.
24:51Karishma.
24:52I can really stand behind every single ingredient in here,
24:55but I want to know what you guys all think of this.
24:57I like the feeling of it.
24:59It's quite creamy and smooth.
25:00It's like a very neutral, premium smell.
25:02It doesn't feel fake.
25:04It just feels very natural.
25:06I'm a big fan.
25:07It's going to be a very effective face mask,
25:08and I believe that I can sell this today
25:10to the people at the pitch.
25:11You can sell it to me right now.
25:12Yeah.
25:13You've already sold it to us.
25:14Yeah.
25:16I had such a great response from the team.
25:19I know about skincare.
25:20I know about the industry.
25:22There is a lot of pressure on me today,
25:23but I feel like if there's anyone
25:25who can sell the new era of skincare, it's me.
25:28I can see that you guys believe in me so much,
25:30and I'm very, very grateful for that energy today.
25:32We're going to crack on with this pitch.
25:34See you later, girls.
25:35See you guys.
25:35Good luck.
25:36See you later.
25:389am.
25:40As the finalists prepare for their pitches,
25:43the rest head off to edit ads.
25:47I'm going to be honest with you guys.
25:49I do this all the time.
25:50I do want help and input,
25:51but I kind of want to get it done quickly.
25:56Central London.
25:57I'm Megan.
25:57Nice to meet you.
25:58Nice to meet you, Megan.
25:59Hello.
25:59While Pasha's team perfect her ad...
26:01We're going to have Levi.
26:02He's really, like, distressed,
26:04and then we're going to cut to a scene
26:06where he's basically firing someone.
26:08Calling the shots.
26:09We can start from here,
26:11so press play,
26:11and I'll tell you to stop.
26:13Carrington.
26:14And cut.
26:16Okay, we'll move on to the next scene, please.
26:20And action.
26:22Why am I rubbing like that?
26:24Goodness me.
26:26Oh, God, Vanessa.
26:28Just take it all out.
26:29Delete.
26:29Then we move on to me.
26:32One of myself there.
26:34And delete the other two, please.
26:36When it touches my face,
26:37can we include that bit as well?
26:39That's nice.
26:40Then the next bit is us coming out,
26:42and there's this Lawrence again.
26:44Even shorter.
26:46Shorter.
26:47Let's go on to the next, please.
26:49Myself there.
26:50Yeah, that's a nice shot.
26:52I don't know if we should use this one,
26:53because I think my one was a little bit better.
26:55I think I'm putting out the close-up shot
26:57of me doing it closer.
26:58Okay.
26:58Can we put me first, and then Vanessa last?
27:02From here.
27:02All the way to there.
27:04And cut from here.
27:06Yeah.
27:06Nice.
27:07And that could make the main one.
27:11Sometimes you've got to do things by yourself.
27:13I warned those two earlier that I will be bulldozing.
27:16There's a lot riding on this,
27:17and as something neither, it is on my head.
27:19I'm here to help Karishma.
27:20I don't want no mistakes.
27:21I want it to look amazing.
27:23Be the sun, a skin love story.
27:26That's nice.
27:27Great.
27:302pm.
27:31One Marlabo.
27:33In just two hours...
27:36Oh!
27:37Wow!
27:38..the finalists will pitch their business to Lord Sugar...
27:41Oh, I love it!
27:43..and leading industry experts.
27:46There are massive brands here.
27:47How do you feel?
27:48That's a big stage.
27:50If my dad saw me speak today, he'd be like,
27:52that's my girl.
27:53Oh!
27:54I raised her well.
27:56OK.
27:57Honestly, just seeing it now.
27:59I'm literally shaking.
28:02God bless you.
28:04Before they take to the stage...
28:06Yeah, I'm excited, sir.
28:07..for both teams...
28:08Oi, you!
28:09You're fired!
28:10Oh, I love that!
28:11..a chance to check out their ads.
28:13I'm excited to see it.
28:20I love that.
28:21Naturally better.
28:22Start with your skin.
28:24Be the sun.
28:26A skin love story.
28:28Designed by nature.
28:29Defined by science.
28:32I knew you liked it!
28:33Really?
28:34Yeah!
28:35Really nice.
28:36Honestly, smashed it.
28:37I feel confident.
28:38I'm going to play that.
28:39They're going to be looking, yes.
28:40This is good.
28:41I feel like they're probably expecting a very traditional,
28:43serious pitch, but what I want to do is let my personality shine
28:46through as much as possible, come across as human,
28:50funny, charismatic, but very intelligent.
28:52She knows her stuff.
28:53I've got this.
28:54I've got this.
28:55Let's do this.
28:56You've got this.
28:594pm.
29:01Doors open to some of the biggest names from the beauty business
29:04and the world of recruitment,
29:07as well as previous winners and other legends from the last 20 years.
29:12Alan got involved in The Apprentice because he wanted to get young people
29:16interested in business.
29:17You've got to be honest and you've got to have a really good business plan
29:20and you've got to have paid attention to the detail.
29:23But always be straightforward.
29:25If you're not straight with him, you're gone.
29:28Before pitches kick off.
29:30Hello.
29:32How are you?
29:32You look gorgeous.
29:33For the finalists.
29:35Pasha.
29:36Hello.
29:37How are you doing? I'm Ricky.
29:37Nice to meet you.
29:39A last minute pep talk.
29:42How are you feeling, more importantly?
29:44Nervous.
29:45Of course.
29:46Of course, yeah.
29:46But I feel ready.
29:47Yeah.
29:48And obviously I haven't done anything like this before.
29:50Yeah.
29:50But I'm just passionate and I'm excited.
29:53Yeah.
29:53So I hope that that comes across.
29:54You've just got to make sure people know that you want it.
29:57Yeah.
29:57Like 13, 14 years ago I was able to do what you're doing.
30:00Which is incredible.
30:01Get your business started.
30:02And it still exists and it's growing exponentially year on year.
30:05So this will be you in 15 years time.
30:06Yeah.
30:07It's so exciting.
30:08I've done a lot to prove myself in this process.
30:11Yeah.
30:11But now it's that final moment of putting on a show that people remember.
30:15Yeah.
30:15Being memorable.
30:16Well, no one knows your business better than you.
30:19And this, I think, will be such a good platform to launch your business.
30:22For me, it was really life-changing.
30:24Mm-hmm.
30:24And I think for you it will be the same opportunity.
30:26So you've just got to stay calm and present what you know, which is your business.
30:31It's your baby.
30:32You've created it.
30:33But you're going to do really, really great.
30:35You're going to do great.
30:35I'm going to look out for you in the crowd.
30:37So thank you after as well.
30:38Definitely.
30:39That was so helpful.
30:40Thank you so much.
30:41Good luck, darling.
30:51First to pitch.
30:53Let's go.
30:54Pasha.
31:05Hello, everyone.
31:06It is an absolute pleasure to be here today.
31:09Now, I started in recruitment as a rookie three years ago.
31:14And three years later, I'm stood here on this stage, the youngest ever candidate to be
31:19here at 21.
31:20So it's an honour and a dream come true.
31:23My passion for the recruitment world is unlike no other.
31:27I live and breathe this job.
31:29This is very good.
31:30So let me tell you a little bit about my company.
31:36Real approach of recruitment.
31:38One on one support that you deserve.
31:41I am here to have that one on one relationship with candidates with managers.
31:45I want them to know that I understand and I'm here to support you no matter what.
31:52Now, the market is absolutely crazy.
31:55There's 30,000 agencies in the UK.
31:59So yes, standing out in a big crowd is going to be hard.
32:03It's definitely not going to be easy.
32:05But with my determination, my story, and what I want to communicate, we can really take
32:10this to the next set.
32:12Next, I'm going to show you my TV advert.
32:15I hope you guys enjoy.
32:18Can't seem to get the staff round here.
32:20Nobody's reliable.
32:22Oi, you!
32:22You're fired!
32:24Hi, Kieran.
32:25It's Megan from Real Approach Recruitment.
32:27Got you a job and you're going to start tomorrow.
32:29Amazing.
32:30I'll see you tomorrow.
32:32Now, everyone goes to interviews, no matter how old you are.
32:36If your first interview is at 30, it doesn't matter.
32:39I'm here to help.
32:41So please enjoy my social media video.
32:44Top tip number one.
32:46Understand what job you are applying for.
32:50Top tip number two.
32:51Show your open to training and development.
32:55Top tip number three.
32:57Show your passion and your enthusiasm.
33:00Ready to take that first step?
33:01What are you waiting for?
33:03I hope you all enjoyed.
33:05This is a new company, but the limits and the goals are really endless.
33:10I have the success.
33:12I understand what managers are looking for.
33:15I know the demand and I have that one-on-one relationship with candidates.
33:19Thank you, everyone.
33:20And I open the floor to any questions.
33:27Hi, I'm Jordan.
33:28I'm the manager of the Sidemen, the UK's biggest YouTube group with over 130 million subscribers.
33:33Social media is so important to this, I think.
33:35I think your video kind of lacked that clear context and that hook at the start.
33:38So how are you going to make sure that your social media strategy is as engaging as it possibly can
33:43be?
33:43What I wanted to show you is just a glimpse of the potential.
33:47Initially, I want someone to watch that video and be like, she cares.
33:52And that is the ultimate goal for me.
33:54But thank you so much.
33:55No, a pleasure.
33:55Thank you for that.
33:57Hello, Lorraine Twist-Hayes.
33:59Well done, Pasha.
34:00That was amazing.
34:01And I particularly like your dress.
34:03So, brilliant work there.
34:06Got to look at the part.
34:07How do you think you're going to differentiate your company?
34:10Not you, because you're brilliant, but your company.
34:15So, with my company, I want that one-on-one support.
34:18I've been doing it for three years.
34:19I've never met a manager that I've dealt with, ever.
34:23Because I say to my director, let me go out to the care homes that I work with,
34:27because they'll appreciate that.
34:28They'll remember you.
34:29But that one-on-one approach is something that recruitment agencies are forgetting to do.
34:34Yes.
34:35Right now, it just feels like we are just the annoying salesperson,
34:39and I don't want that for the recruitment industry.
34:41Brilliant.
34:42Thank you, and good luck.
34:44Well, thank you so much, everyone, for your questions, your undivided time today.
34:50Good night.
34:55Oh, Pasha!
34:57Oh, Lord, you smashed it!
35:00Oh, God.
35:01You did really.
35:02No, I'm so proud.
35:03Honestly, you did so well.
35:06Honestly, I don't know how you did that.
35:08You did so good, honestly.
35:10I just feel that proud of you.
35:12Oh!
35:15For Lord Sugar...
35:16It was a wonderful presentation.
35:18I mean, she's 21 years old.
35:20Expert feedback.
35:22What was your impression of her?
35:23She's very passionate, wonderful personality.
35:25If she could bring recruiters in around her with that same level of passion and energy, I think she'd do
35:31really well.
35:31And drive them and motivate them.
35:32Absolutely.
35:33Yeah.
35:33I know that the market's a little bit tough at the moment.
35:37It is a challenging time in recruitment, but it will change.
35:41She's focusing on health and care.
35:43Mm-hmm.
35:43That is a huge sector, and it's going to grow, because we're all getting older.
35:48And I think that, you know, she seems pretty fearless to me, so this would be a good person in
35:53the back.
35:53You're a young, energetic person, get out there and have a go.
35:56Yeah.
35:56I mean, wants to lose.
35:59Next, to take the stage, Karishma.
36:11Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
36:13I want to introduce you all to Be The Sun, a skin love story.
36:17Believe it or not, that is what my skin looked like when I was 18 years old.
36:22And it completely consumed me.
36:24I had acne.
36:25I had scarring.
36:26I was so insecure.
36:27And I turned to pretty much every skincare brand out there.
36:31A lot of you are sitting in the audience here today, so thank you for supporting me on my skin
36:34journey.
36:35Unfortunately, nothing worked for too long.
36:45But the one thing me and my ex have in common is that we constantly kept looking for better options
36:49on the market.
36:52A stand-up comedian.
36:54Those two girls, they don't have the same amount of confidence.
36:57This girl, she was scared, she was shy, and she believed that her skin introduced her before she could introduce
37:03herself in every room that she walked into.
37:05And that girl, well, she wears her skin like armour.
37:09She wears her skin very proud, very loud, and she stands before you today, excited to talk about the newest
37:16scientific discoveries in skincare.
37:19So I would like to introduce an advert that my team created.
37:27Naturally better.
37:29Start with your skin.
37:32Be The Sun, a skin love story.
37:35Design my nature defined by science.
37:39It's a class, yeah.
37:44So why is Be The Sun different from all the other brands in this room today?
37:48As a biomedical scientist, I wanted to come up with a brand that uses very versatile products and attacks an
37:55array of situations with your skin.
37:57This is the bright, tight, and fight face mask, and you can all find it on your tables right now.
38:05So this is a great product that a genius has come up with.
38:10Woo!
38:10Woo!
38:11Woo!
38:12I would like to remind you that my name was Krishman Vijay, and I would like to open the 40
38:18questions.
38:19Woo!
38:20Woo!
38:21Woo!
38:22Woo!
38:23Woo!
38:25Woo!
38:27Woo!
38:28Woo!
38:29Krishma.
38:30Hi, I'm Colette.
38:31I am co-founder of The Inkey List.
38:34Wow.
38:35What a story.
38:36You will go so far because you're so genuine, authentic.
38:40I really want to talk about the product though.
38:41There is a lot of ingredients and actives in your products and a lot of benefits.
38:45How are you going to cut through?
38:46Yes, there's a lot of, a lot of competition in the market.
38:49The competition is so fierce.
38:50But one thing that we can't deny is that social media will play an act in inviting those new customers
38:55in.
38:56How?
38:57We're going to really focus on real stories and real results.
39:00The power of social media is all about how you tell a story.
39:04And we're great storytellers here at Be The Sun.
39:06So we hope that we can do that.
39:08And I hope I answered your question.
39:09Thank you so much.
39:11Hi, I'm Alice, the Director of Beauty at Boots.
39:13And congratulations on such an incredible pitch.
39:16I'd really love to talk about the branding.
39:18You've talked so passionately about your skin love story.
39:21I wonder if you've got the name and the tagline the wrong way around.
39:23Like, a skin love story feels like your main story.
39:27Now, the reason Be The Sun is the name of our brand
39:30is because it is the number one message we're trying to drive forward.
39:34Being the centre of your solar system.
39:36And I believe that Be The Sun resonates with men, with women,
39:39with young girls who are struggling with who they are.
39:42So that is why I wanted the name to be loud and proud.
39:45Be The Sun.
39:46Be the light of your own life.
39:48Be the love of your own life.
39:50Well, this has been absolutely fun.
39:52It's such an honour.
39:53And I know there's still some questions which you can send to my assistant
39:56because I must wrap this up.
39:58But this was such an incredible opportunity
40:02standing in front of such esteemed men and women,
40:05established business people.
40:06I wish to be in your chair one day.
40:08And I hope you enjoyed my pitch.
40:13Hi, I'm here!
40:16You were amazing!
40:17Personally, I feel like everyone there wants to invest in you.
40:20Honestly, Koshima.
40:21I'm obsessed with you.
40:22You're our son.
40:23You are the son!
40:25Koshima, she's an amazing young lady.
40:28What did you think of her?
40:29Honestly, I think I'll buy whatever she's selling, actually.
40:32It doesn't matter.
40:33And I'll take the skin too.
40:34It looks great.
40:35She's not just a salesperson.
40:37I mean, she's actually got a science degree.
40:40I think the challenge for me is the beauty industry now is just so crowded
40:43and creating one viral product is easier than ever.
40:47But actually sustaining that and becoming a long-term brand
40:51is actually quite challenging
40:53because the next brand is always on your coattails.
40:55She's fantastic communication.
40:57She's fantastic from a science perspective.
40:59But the real business acumen of scaling a brand
41:02is where she's going to really need your support.
41:06This really was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
41:09that I could only have seen in my wildest dreams.
41:12I think I've done everything that I possibly could have
41:15to convince Lord Sugar that I should be his next business partner.
41:20What is going on?
41:21I don't even remember what just happened in there.
41:23I just know that it was a great feeling.
41:25This pitch was everything that I could do.
41:27I'll go to the boardroom tomorrow
41:29and hopefully Lord Sugar believes the same.
41:32Tonight, there's nothing more the finalists can do.
41:37Tomorrow, the final showdown in the boardroom.
41:49How are you feeling? Are you nervous?
41:51Yeah, I am nervous.
41:52I feel like yesterday I put on this pitch
41:54and I had the whole audience laughing,
41:56but you might be like, did you come in to make jokes
41:58or did you come in for business?
41:59This whole process has really built me up as a person.
42:02Try and put me on that stage week one,
42:04I would have been like, you're having a laugh.
42:06Like, I cannot do that.
42:08It comes down to today.
42:09So let's do our thing in that boardroom.
42:11Let's smash it.
42:17This is a pivotal moment.
42:18This might be the most important day of my life yet.
42:22I'm just a step away from being Lord Sugar's next business partner.
42:25So I'm going in with a fight today.
42:27I'm not going to give up this battle.
42:29I have to get that win.
42:36You can go through to the boardroom now.
43:02Good morning.
43:03So, first of all, a thank you to some of our past candidates
43:10for assisting Pasha and Karishma.
43:14And technically, you can tell your friends you made it in the final.
43:21LAUGHTER
43:25It's a great achievement.
43:27We could celebrate only if someone knew someone else with a mobile bar.
43:32LAUGHTER
43:36Anyway, Pasha.
43:38Yes, or Sugar?
43:39I think you started off with a brainstorm.
43:42So I wanted to obviously tell the guys a bit about what I do.
43:46You know, my USP is me and the passion that I have for the role.
43:50In the branding team, there was Priyash and...
43:53And myself.
43:54Yourself.
43:55Yeah.
43:55Right, so tell me about the logo.
43:58It was a stressful morning, to be fair,
44:01because I did go in there with a strong idea of having my middle name
44:04as the concept.
44:06Anne-Core, whatever it was called.
44:08Yeah.
44:09So we went through about 16 names.
44:11So you ended up with Real Approach Recruitment.
44:14Yeah.
44:15So I wanted the name to tell a story,
44:17because I do feel like the first thing that you hear
44:20when you hear real support is who we are.
44:21All right.
44:23Then the TV advert team, Megan, sub-team leader.
44:26Yeah.
44:27And the general theme of the advert is that Levi was angry
44:33that he couldn't get any staff.
44:36Was he that angry?
44:38There was no machine there to dry your shoes or what?
44:40Yeah.
44:41LAUGHTER
44:42And sitting on the park bench was Ciaran.
44:46You was a bit wooden, like the cat tree that you designed.
44:49Have you got it?
44:50Yeah.
44:51Got the tree up in your living room?
44:52I'm still having nightmares about the tree, little sugar.
44:54Yeah.
44:55Anyway, the pair of you remind me of the Chuckle Brothers.
44:59LAUGHTER
44:59LAUGHTER
45:00Ciaran's very creative.
45:02There was a lot of ideas going on.
45:04I think if Ciaran had his way, it would have been a Fast and Furious.
45:08Yeah, no, absolutely.
45:08He wanted a coffee mug being thrown on the floor.
45:11And break turns.
45:12I was just trying to add some excitement into the video,
45:15and they were some suggestions with what I had.
45:18They were crap.
45:19LAUGHTER
45:21LAUGHTER
45:22I mean, that's great.
45:22Yeah.
45:24Anyway, you managed to rein him in on those things.
45:27Yeah.
45:28Yeah.
45:28It was a story that was done very well in 20 seconds,
45:32and I genuinely think they smashed it.
45:33It was really good.
45:34Good.
45:35So what did you all think of Pasha?
45:37She's phenomenal.
45:3821-year-old, strong, independent woman,
45:40standing around two feet and stands aground.
45:43So, yeah, she's a phenomenal woman.
45:44Yeah.
45:44I just want to add as well,
45:45when you started this process 20 years ago,
45:48you really believed in people and the work ethic.
45:51And I think...
45:52She was one years old.
45:53Yeah, she was.
45:55So to see what she can do at this age,
45:58to think what she can do in five years' time,
46:00ten years' time, I think it's insane.
46:03It's a shame.
46:03Good.
46:03OK.
46:04Now, Tim, I think you were with Charisma.
46:07Yeah, I was.
46:08Yes, Charisma.
46:09Let's get on to the branding, first of all.
46:11Um, Be The Sun.
46:14Immediately, I would think it's a sun cream.
46:16Mm-hmm.
46:17I don't get that.
46:18So with Be The Sun, it's more about...
46:21Everybody wants to have this sun-kissed golden glow,
46:23but we also wanted to play on the words...
46:25You mean like Donald Trump?
46:26LAUGHTER
46:28But it's more about how the sun is the centre of our solar system
46:31and people live their lives forgetting that they're the centre of their world.
46:34I love the tagline, a skin love story.
46:37I do like that.
46:38I think that's quite clever.
46:40Mm-hmm.
46:40But Be The Sun, I think as much as you are attached to that name,
46:46personally, I would say that it needs to change.
46:49Anyway, then you went to the laboratory and you knocked up your samples, yeah?
46:56Yeah.
46:56It was so fun to be back in a lab and kind of showing off my scientific knowledge as well,
47:01making a product that is very versatile,
47:03so I put as much as I could in there within the perfect valances.
47:05Well, the kitchen sink, you didn't put that in.
47:08LAUGHTER
47:09She would have, but she could have, though.
47:12All right.
47:12Then, the advert, who made the advert?
47:16So I directed the advert.
47:18Karishma did amazing...
47:19You wanted a quality advert, didn't you?
47:21Yeah.
47:21Yeah.
47:22She gave us the storyline in the morning, so we just developed it even more.
47:26There were a few clips we really wanted to use,
47:28but after we watched her back, we realised it was going down the route of something else,
47:31maybe like adult films, so we decided not to use it.
47:34Yeah, so we tried our best,
47:35but I definitely think we incorporated the Be In The Sun element part of it as well.
47:39OK.
47:40I mean, it looked a bit of a quality production.
47:43I feel like they did a great job making it engaging, aesthetic,
47:47still the luxury look.
47:48I did give them really clear instructions, what I wanted,
47:51and I was very impressed.
47:53And I'd just like to add, Lord Sugar,
47:54I've been pretty close with Karishma from the start.
47:57She's not only a great person inside,
47:59but she's a fierce and strong businesswoman,
48:01and watching her yesterday, we're the same age,
48:03but I feel like a proud mum, honestly.
48:05I really did.
48:06Just to round it off,
48:07I think Karishma is an ideal candidate.
48:09When I watch her, I'm like,
48:11I thought I was the perfect person,
48:12but when I see her, I'm like,
48:13I've got so much to do just to become like her,
48:15I want to cry right now, sorry.
48:18Good.
48:18Well, look, I'd like to take this opportunity now
48:21of thanking you last candidates for coming back and assisting.
48:25So, if you don't mind, I need to talk to these two people.
48:29Thank you so much.
48:30I love you so much.
48:42Well, ladies, let me say one thing.
48:46Your presentations last night were superb, excellent.
48:50And Pasha, you know, for a 21-year-old,
48:53it was quite amazing, really.
48:55Thank you, Lord.
48:55And Karishma, you could have a part-time job as a comedian,
49:01I think, on the stage.
49:04It was very, very funny and very natural.
49:07Now, basically, you've got this cream
49:10that has got to be manufactured.
49:12What are you going to do with the £250,000
49:16and how are you going to make it
49:17into a multi-million-pound turnover company?
49:21So, the principle of everything that we're going to create
49:24is that we want to reduce over-consumption.
49:27Instead of creating four products
49:28that they then have to invest in one by one,
49:31we create one that actually covers all those grounds.
49:34Now, these are...
49:35Now, I hear all that,
49:38but in order to get volume sales for this thing,
49:42you need volume potential consumers.
49:46And your main method of selling it is going to be how?
49:52The main method would be to push it
49:53through not just e-commerce, but social media also.
49:57People like Huda Katarn that have created videos for us
49:59in 24 hours had 8 million views.
50:02We had 60,000 people trying to buy the product.
50:048 million views, all these young...
50:05You youngsters, all you keep telling me about
50:07is I've got 9 million followers, 8 million of this.
50:10I'm only interested, show me the money.
50:12When we launched in our first month,
50:14we did close to £12,000 in sales.
50:17Did you get repeats also?
50:18So many repeat orders.
50:20People are very much addicted to the product,
50:22addicted to the quality of the product.
50:23Really? Which hasn't got marijuana in it, has it?
50:25No, no.
50:26But we've had hundreds of orders
50:28where they haven't just repurchased one, but many.
50:31All right, well, Pasha,
50:33you're a different kettle of fish, really,
50:35in the sense that there's no hard product to touch.
50:38You're offering a service, right?
50:40Yeah, correct.
50:40So starting from my £250,000,
50:45what are you going to do on day one?
50:47The £250,000 or sugar will go to the start-up costs.
50:52Yeah, which would be what?
50:53So it would be the databases, the computers, the salaries.
50:57Right.
50:58As soon as I have that set up, I could do it myself.
51:00Then I would be able to make you money from day one.
51:03Give me the list of the type of people that you place.
51:06So you've got nurses, who else?
51:08So it literally can be from cleaners, care assistants, team leaders.
51:13Right, so what's the kind of commission of these people?
51:16Starting with the cleaners, can't be much, can it?
51:19Lowest at 10% contract.
51:21Yeah.
51:22But this is the thing that I'm doing now
51:24when I'm pitching to Care Homes, introducing myself,
51:27I'm going in at around the 13% to 15% rate,
51:30which is a lot higher.
51:32So starting this business,
51:33the current market that you're in at the moment,
51:36is it buoyant or is it dead?
51:37With the care home and healthcare side,
51:40I do think the market is buoyant and there is a demand.
51:43The healthcare sector is growing.
51:45It's one of the fastest growing sectors in recruitment.
51:47All right.
51:48Okay.
51:48Well, look, I think I've got a grasp of both of your business ideas.
51:55What I'd like you to do is to step outside for a while
51:58and I'll be discussing it with Baroness Brady and Tim
52:03and then I'll decide who is going to be my business partner
52:08in this 20th year.
52:10Okay?
52:21I have to say, two great finalists and thoroughly well-deserved.
52:26I mean, Karishna has got a very small business,
52:28but with some grand ideas of what she wants to do
52:31and you've been in that industry,
52:34so the perfect partner for her.
52:36And Pasha has got a track record of success in her industry
52:40but has never started a business,
52:41so she really needs you as well.
52:43Yeah.
52:44So you would make an ideal partner for either of these two women.
52:48I think it's a great testament to the process.
52:5220 years and still you're able to find great individuals
52:55who really need support and mentoring
52:58in order to grow something potentially really big.
53:00In Pasha, you've got somebody with poise,
53:02real focus around their industry,
53:04and in Karishma, you've got somebody with heart,
53:07yes, a bit of humour,
53:08but actually huge amounts of hustle.
53:10She really wants this.
53:11I think there's great potential in either one of them.
53:13It's a really difficult decision.
53:15Mm.
53:19Yes, would you send the two of them in, please?
53:22Yes, to each other.
53:23You can go through to the boardroom now.
53:27You can go through to the boardroom now.
53:28Mm-hmm.
53:29It's all right.
53:43Well, Pasha,
53:46if you don't get the investment,
53:49what are you going to do?
53:50I'm going to do it myself.
53:53And my commitment,
53:55my drive that I have for someone else's company
53:57is unbelievable.
53:59And if I was doing it for myself,
54:02it would be 10 times more.
54:04I'm non-stop.
54:06And that's because I believe in what I do.
54:08And I'm ready to put a dent in the market.
54:10And that is my ultimate goal.
54:12Right.
54:13And same question to you, Krishma.
54:15If we don't succeed in this,
54:17how are you going to move forward?
54:19Because you need a lot of money
54:21to build up inventory and stocks, don't you?
54:24So we've already got cash flow coming in.
54:26We've got a great amount of profits already,
54:28enough to invest into future products
54:30and to really build an inventory.
54:32Do you need my money then?
54:33I need your money because I want to build faster.
54:36At the moment,
54:37I can only order 5,000 to 10,000 units at a time.
54:40And then I have to bear in mind salaries,
54:42rent,
54:42the cost of my warehouse.
54:44But if I had the 250,000 pounds,
54:46I could go big.
54:47Right.
54:49Lord Sugar,
54:49I'm a young woman
54:51with determination,
54:52grit and drive.
54:54And I've shown what I can do.
54:56I've shown how much money I can make.
54:58And it's not just about the money
54:59that you're giving me.
55:00It's about having you next to me,
55:02showing me the ropes,
55:04your experience in recruitment.
55:05You've already made a millionaire out of it.
55:07And I know that if you was to have me
55:09as a business partner,
55:10I can do the exact same thing for you.
55:13Lord Sugar,
55:13you've obviously been in business
55:15longer than I've been alive.
55:16But this is what I was born to do.
55:18I believe that business is in my blood.
55:20It's my legacy.
55:21And I know I can scale this.
55:22I know I can scale it in retailers.
55:24I know that I can scale it through social media.
55:26And yesterday,
55:27I showed you my personality.
55:28I'm selling my personality
55:29and who I am.
55:32So look, ladies,
55:34here it is.
55:39Karishma,
55:39you know
55:41that I've been in this business before.
55:43It's a very,
55:44very slippery pole to climb.
55:47And I've done it before
55:49and I've made people into
55:50very,
55:51very significant business people.
55:54And I do like
55:56skincare.
55:59Pasha,
56:01I've got recruitment companies
56:04and I know the recruitment world.
56:06you say this market
56:07for care homes
56:09and all that stuff
56:09is quite buoyant.
56:12And so
56:14after deep consideration
56:16and listening to you
56:18and following you
56:19for 12 weeks,
56:21you know,
56:22I've come to
56:23a conclusion.
56:25conclusion and
56:29the conclusion is
56:33that I'll be investing in
56:37Karishma.
56:42I absolutely won't let you down.
56:43I came in with a very big dream.
56:45I need you by my side
56:46to make it happen
56:47and I will absolutely
56:48not let you down
56:49in this process.
56:50Congratulations, Karishma.
56:52Well done, Karishma.
56:53Thank you so much.
56:54Okay.
56:55Thank you so much.
56:56You've both been incredible
56:57in the process.
56:58Off you go.
57:00Thank you, Barnes, Brady.
57:01Thank you, Tim.
57:07Honestly, well done.
57:08Honestly, I didn't know
57:09whether to cry,
57:10laugh, like,
57:11shake his hands.
57:12Give me a hug.
57:12It's unbelievable.
57:22I feel so proud
57:24because I think
57:24when I came into this
57:25I felt like a small fish.
57:27Not a small fish no more.
57:28And I know Lord Shik
57:29is not going to regret this one.
57:30He knows he shook hands
57:31with the right girl
57:32because I'm about
57:32to make him more money.
57:34The Rolls Royce
57:34is getting an upgrade.
57:3820 candidates,
57:40one investment.
