00:00Hello, I'm Angela Scanlon and welcome to Unfinished Business, where the boardroom may be closed
00:05but the buzz of the final is far from over, as we have a winner!
00:09Yes, we do. I have got the first exclusive with Karishma, plus runner-up Pasha will also
00:15be here. Lord Sugar's trusted eyes and ears, Tim Campbell and Baroness Brady, join me to
00:20chat everything from pressure to pitches. And I've finally managed to pin down the busiest
00:25man in business. Lord Sugar sits down with me to reflect on 20 years of The Apprentice
00:31and gives his unfiltered take on our final two. It's time for The Apprentice, Unfinished Business.
00:40It's Tim and Karen, everyone. Welcome. Okay, 12 incredible tasks. It has all come to an end.
00:49The 20th series, there was lots riding on it, expectations. What are your standout moments?
00:56Well, I think for me, it's Hong Kong. I mean, the boardroom there, the scenery, having Alan
01:04there was fantastic. I think it made, I mean, the candidates really weren't expecting that.
01:11It was interesting tasks because obviously, a lot went wrong. But the scenery was fantastic,
01:16the ambience was good. And taking it to a new level, I thought, really made an impact in the
01:22opening episode. Wonderful. What about you, Tim? Standout moments.
01:26Hong Kong was brilliant. It was, as Karen has said. But for me, I was really interested in the
01:31technological elements that we were bringing to the series. The PT one was really...
01:36Yeah, gamified fitness.
01:37I was really looking forward to that. And then we got bombarded with magical frogs.
01:41I don't remember where they came from. So it was standout maybe for the wrong reasons, right?
01:45So I love the fact that every single season, Lord Sugar's keen to push on what is happening in the
01:52real world and bring it into the series. But the candidates sometimes keep bringing the same
01:57mistakes that they bring for some of the series where they have to learn as they do on the task.
02:01Yeah. Oh, so your stink eye doesn't change.
02:03No, no, no. I had to feel what you were saying there, but yes, no, it doesn't change.
02:07I love it. That's also as consistent as Lord Sugar. And lots of familiar faces
02:13from over the past 20 years joined for pitching stages. So we had Nick and we had Margaret,
02:18also had some previous winners, Dean and Ricky and Leah and Tom and Marnie. How was it having,
02:23you know, the alumni so to speak back in one room? Oh, it was great, wasn't it? I mean,
02:29the thing is, everybody gets on so well. And we're all friends. I've been on holiday with Alan.
02:36Claude has been there. Nick has been there. We've all been together. We're all good friends.
02:40Who picks up the cheque, do you mind me asking? Well, I couldn't possibly say. We take it in turns.
02:44Nice, as you should. But it's Alan's boat.
02:48I should put it like that. He's yacht, I should say. The boat is underselling it somewhat.
02:54So no, but everyone gets on well. We all have one thing in common, that we all want to see
02:59the show be a success. We all want to see it as a vehicle for people to get into business.
03:05So
03:05it's great. But you know, I do think that kind of energy in the room and the support and that
03:09sense of,
03:09you know, a young person, Karishma in this case, starting out on their journey to know that actually
03:15you're kind of joining a little family, really. A little club. And it's great to see the candidates
03:19who are coming back and celebrating their fantastically successful business. Look at Dr Leona,
03:24brilliant company. You've got Tom, you've got Ricky Martin. So for those candidates at the final,
03:28to see what they could potentially walk in, I think it upped that level and they really delivered.
03:33It was the beginning of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, right?
03:36Oh, you should trademark that. I know, I should do this.
03:41So normally at this stage of the show, Lord Sugar sends me a little voice note, okay? I've become
03:46very accustomed to them, but this time I caught up with him face to face to reflect on 20 years
03:51of The Apprentice. Let's have a look. Hello, Lord Sugar. Hello. Thank you for joining me today.
03:5820 years in. Right. Did you think you'd get to this point on the show? Honestly speaking, no.
04:06Was it 2005 or something like that? Or 2004 was when we recorded the first one and I thought,
04:13well, it's been great, exciting, interesting, but never ever thought it would run on this long.
04:19Yeah. We've got a picture of you from 2005. Yeah.
04:23Not much has changed. Quite a handsome fellow. I didn't realise that.
04:27I didn't realise that. I mean, the finger's the same, isn't it really?
04:30That's the same. The hairline is pretty good. Yeah, that's true. It's true.
04:34What's the secret? I don't know, really. I do a lot of exercise, I suppose, and running businesses.
04:42Keeps you fresh. It feels like there's been a change in that initially you were looking for an
04:49apprentice, somebody who'd work, you know, under you, so to speak. Now we're looking for entrepreneurs.
04:54Has that massively changed the game for you? The original format was that people would come
05:01to work for me and I would give them a six-figure job, OK? And back in 2005,
05:07a six-figure job was quite a lot of money. And so you can imagine the kind of resentment and
05:15possible
05:16disruption that it caused within my company. So I changed it after about series six to this 50-50
05:24business deal, which is great. That's what's really kept me at it. So the calibre of the winners
05:30are different because they're entrepreneurs. They're my partners. And as I say to them, look,
05:38you're the expert. You're the one who knows what you're supposed to be doing in this business. I'm
05:43just there to tell you what not to do. So are you looking for someone who compliments you or are
05:49you
05:49kind of looking for a person that you think, oh, that's a bit of me? No. No. No, a bit
05:55of me.
05:55You won't find a bit of me anywhere. One of a kind. No. No, I'm looking for someone who's got
06:03that
06:04entrepreneurial spirit, some spark of brilliance, if you like. This year, two brilliant finalists
06:12to pick between and you have officially hired Karishma as your next business partner. How close
06:17was it between herself? It's always close. If ever there's a feeling of guilt that I have,
06:25it is telling one of them that they've not won. And as far as Pasha is concerned, she's very young.
06:32So she's got a lot to look forward to, quite frankly. And she's done tremendously well to get
06:38through at that age. And what was it about Karishma's businessman that gave her the edge?
06:43Well, cosmetics is one of my favourite subjects. One of my first businesses that I went into as a
06:50young man was cosmetics simply because, how can I put this in the nicest possible way, the margins are
06:58tremendously high. Yes. So something that costs 10 pence, for example, can end up being sold for
07:05two pounds. And the other thing is, is that she's, you know, she's a scientist. Social media influence.
07:13Social media influence. Stand up comedian, frankly. Yeah. At the final, she made everybody laugh.
07:20Yeah. Which is great. She shows she's got a personality and she's really a grafter. She really
07:26is. And that's what I like about her. In terms of expansion and the next steps in the partnership,
07:32what happens? Well, basically, she's going to have to sit down and listen to what I would like her to
07:38do. And that is to spread the portfolio. She cannot succeed with one product only. She needs a range of
07:46products. The next thing and the most important thing is, who's she going to sell it to? How's she
07:52going to go about selling it? And I think she's a big TikTok influencer. I don't know whether that's
08:00enough. Possibly it could be. And I'll be guided by her. She tells me it is. But, you know, I've
08:09had
08:09other experiences in the cosmetics business with previous candidates of The Apprentice that have sold
08:18cosmetics in a different way. Maybe we could always adapt the ways of selling. So more products
08:28products and methodology of selling. Brilliant. Well, thank you so much. I know you're a busy
08:33man. It was a pleasure. Yeah, great. And you're doing a great job. Thank you very much. Really
08:37enjoy it. It's like this casual kind of approach. It's great. Yeah. Thank you. And you brought your
08:42smart casual today. So we appreciate the tone. Okay. All right. Good. Okay. Well, enough about Lord Sugar's
08:49Cardigan. What did you make of the final two? Two fabulous, professional, young women making their
08:58way in the world with real personality, real passion, real desire to be successful. They found
09:05something they're good at and they want to open a business to work hard, to have control over their
09:11life, to have their independence and open their own business. And I think it's wonderful.
09:14Was there a moment for you, Tim, that you thought, oh, these two, these could be our final two?
09:20I think what I've definitely learned alongside Bernice Brady is that you can never predict what's
09:25going to happen because the candidates grow throughout the process. And some people start
09:29up here and they make a mistake. They learn from that and they come back again. But I think seeing
09:34them on the first show in Hong Kong, I remember seeing Karishma running up and down the street and
09:40thinking she doesn't really like this, but she's giving a hundred percent. And that was really
09:44important. And then you had Pasha with lots of energy wanting to try everything. And what we always
09:49say around good candidates, and you see it with Dean who won last year, who had an established
09:53business, very similar to the Karishma. And then we've had younger candidates as well. What we're
09:57actually looking for is people who give a hundred percent because you're in unfamiliar territory.
10:02Definitely so with Hong Kong when they started out and through every single task. But if you're willing to
10:07try really hard, that's probably a good indicator. Both of them did that from the very beginning.
10:11Okay, well, it is time to welcome our fabulous runner-up, Pasha, who may not have secured the
10:16investment, but with wisdom beyond her years, she certainly made her mark in the process.
10:20Let's remind ourselves of why she is one of our final two.
10:24Hello, everyone. It is an absolute pleasure to be here today. Now, I started in recruitment as a rookie
10:31three years ago. And three years later, I'm stood here on this stage, the youngest ever candidate to
10:38be here at 21. So it's an honour and a dream come true. My passion for the recruitment world is
10:45unlike
10:45no other. I live and breathe this job. It's Pasha, everybody. Hello. Thank you for having me.
10:53This is a glow up. We're into it. You entered my globe. I've changed my look. I'm in my alter
10:58ego
10:59persona now. The red hair. Yeah. Yeah. Bit of a change. Once you go red, you never go back.
11:04That is true. Or something like that. I'm not planning on going back.
11:07I love that. The adaption. The adaption. Yeah.
11:11Two redheads opposite each other. Absolutely. Yeah. Somewhere a vortex is opening. Okay.
11:19Congratulations, Pasha, on making it to the final two. How was it watching that back?
11:24Emotional. I actually got really emotional watching it back. It's such an amazing moment.
11:29And I'm so grateful for the opportunity. And I think being the youngest to ever go to the final,
11:35for me, I did have a lot of pressure on my back. But ultimately watching it back, I was like,
11:41yeah,
11:41I did well for myself. I'm really, really proud. I mean, age aside, you did incredibly well. And
11:47obviously your age came up quite a bit. Was there any part of you that felt like actually
11:53that allowed you to be underestimated a bit? Definitely underestimated. I think walking in
11:58at the beginning and it being a known fact that I was the youngest in the room, people definitely
12:03underestimated me, but that just gave me the push to show them otherwise. And I'm a big person for age
12:10is
12:10just a number. So don't underestimate me because that will show you. I also think there's something
12:16about the kind of spark and the wild naivete maybe that comes with being younger, where you don't
12:24adhere to the rules, the so-called rules. You're maybe less encumbered by the rules.
12:29I think your age wasn't the factor. The reality was that you came in, you were fierce from beginning,
12:35you stood your ground and you weren't ever willing or shy of defending your position. So I think people
12:40from day one had to respect you. And I think what you show, hopefully lots of young women who are
12:44watching, that you should stand in your own power from beginning, make no excuses and just deliver,
12:49not be judged by anyone else's standard, by the standards you set yourself.
12:52Yeah, that was the goal. It's also quite liberating because
12:55you've nothing to lose and everything to gain. So all you have to do is try your best, keep your
13:02focus,
13:03show what you're good at and everything is an opportunity. And I think that's how I saw you
13:08approach it. And I presume you learnt quite a lot through the process, did you?
13:13So much. Absolutely so much. Not only in the business world, but in myself and personal growth.
13:17What you're capable of.
13:18Yeah. My mum always says, have your wits about you. And I always have my wits about me. And
13:23actually, after the first boardroom, I had a lot of candidates come up to me and say,
13:27hey, the way that you spoke up in the boardroom really allowed me to enter that sort of more
13:31dominant persona, which they didn't have to begin with. So that was really nice to hear from people
13:38that are a lot older than me and have a lot more business experience was, yeah, really nice.
13:42Let's talk about your business rebrand.
13:46Yes. Because we went from the controversial maybe and call, which you were quite steadfast in
13:53to real approach recruitment. Do you stand by dropping Ann now?
13:58I completely stand by dropping Ann. Initially, I was, yeah, I was like, I'm not moving away from
14:04this. I want it to be named after me. It's personable. And ultimately, obviously, if you're
14:08calling up care homes, calling up candidates, they know straight away, oh, Ann's calling. And it's,
14:13it's personable. But then not only did it sound like a body part, which probably isn't the best
14:18thing to hear. But actually, until she said it, I never heard it.
14:22Now I can't get out of my head. Yeah, but dropping it down to actually something that told a story
14:28at the end of the day. And that is what I wanted to pursue telling a story. They know what
14:33we do
14:33straight away. It's a real approach. But you had the support of some familiar faces. Obviously,
14:39you went straight with Megan, your bestie. Was it great having her there for emotional support at
14:44this pivotal time? Yeah, throughout the house, we just clicked straight away. And we are very,
14:50very close now. She's one of my closest friends. So yeah, having her back was amazing. Got emotional
14:55after the pitch. It meant as much as her than it did to me as well. And she really came
15:01across.
15:01Yeah, she could see how much I wanted there as well. So yeah, it was great to have familiar faces.
15:07I think I picked a good team. They were brilliant. They really helped.
15:11How did they do on the ad side of things?
15:15Seeing the ad, I think they smashed it because they really did tell the story of what I wanted
15:19them to capture. And it's about the struggles and about having, you know, the real approach and us
15:24being there and actually being face to face with managers.
15:28In the boardroom, you were very clear that you're going to go ahead with the business,
15:32regardless of investment. Is that still the case?
15:35It is definitely still the case because I have a passion for it. And I don't want to stop doing
15:40it
15:40because this is what I'm made to do. And the care industry is very important to me. So yeah,
15:45100% I'm going to do it. Maybe a few years. I think I'm going to take a step back,
15:50enjoy recruitment and billing and doing what I do best for a while.
15:54And understand the industry. Understand the industry and actually the management side of
15:59things because I am young. I haven't been in that management side of the business. So yeah,
16:0525, that's what I've said. By 25, I'm going to have my own company.
16:09It was a very close decision, Lord Sugar said. What will you take away from the experience?
16:15Honestly, like my life will change because of the experience now. And I really do feel a lot
16:20more positive about going into the big wide world in business because of this. It's yeah,
16:25it's made a big difference to how I see things now. And standout moments.
16:31I think honestly, getting to the final and actually having that one on one time with Lord Sugar
16:36to pitch myself to him and for him to see that was obviously my highlight. And then
16:44I'd probably say Egypt was one of my favourite tasks. You loved Egypt.
16:48I loved Egypt. You and that little buggy turn around the desert.
16:51It was fab. She was living her best life.
16:53When can you ever say that you've done a tour in the desert in Egypt?
16:56And called it a work day. I know. Yeah, it was fabulous.
16:59And obviously meeting Megan was just the cherry on the cake.
17:03Pasha, honestly, such a pleasure, an absolute incredible achievement to land as runner up.
17:08And you've been amazing to watch. Thank you.
17:10And we wish you all the best in the future. Pasha, everybody. Thank you.
17:15Well done.
17:17Now, it is time to welcome our winner of The Apprentice 2026.
17:21She lit up the room with her comedic wit, her powerful storytelling and her business brilliance.
17:25It can only be Karishma. Let's relive her winning pitch.
17:29Believe it or not, that is what my skin looked like when I was 18 years old.
17:33And it completely consumed me. I had acne. I had scarring. I was so insecure.
17:39And I turned to pretty much every skincare brand out there.
17:43A lot of you are sitting in the audience here today.
17:44So, thank you for supporting me on my skin journey.
17:47Unfortunately, nothing worked for too long.
17:57It's Karishma, everybody!
18:02Our winner of The Apprentice Series 20. It's a big one.
18:06It is a big one.
18:08You're speechless for the first time.
18:10I am speechless. And I do just really want to say, I'm in awe of everything that you guys have
18:15created.
18:16And I can't even believe that I get to sit on the same round table as you guys.
18:21Like, my life is going to change from this point on.
18:23And I owe it to a lot of people in this room. So, thank you so much.
18:26And you deserve it. Thank you.
18:27So, never feel that you don't deserve a seat here. You absolutely do.
18:31So, don't ever apologise for being in the room.
18:34There was loads of moments where you said something nice about me, Baroness Brady.
18:37And I was just shocked. Like, I relive it in my head all the time.
18:41Because when it comes from another woman in business, firstly.
18:44But just Baroness Brady itself, it blows my mind.
18:48It just...
18:49Now you've won. You can call me Karen.
18:52Is that what it takes?
18:53There it goes.
18:54Is that on camera?
18:56It's a very select few who can call her Karen.
18:59That's insane. Thank you so much.
19:01Has it sunk in?
19:02No. Not at all. Not at all. Not even a single percent.
19:06But a few years ago, I went to a psychic who told me a white man will change my life.
19:11And I always thought it was my partner.
19:13And then I realised that this is probably my prophecy coming true.
19:16But I just think...
19:17Can I have a number?
19:17You absolutely can.
19:20This was never written in the stars for me or in the cards for me.
19:24I just didn't see it happening for me.
19:26And I have said this before.
19:27I just...
19:28The Apprentice was something that never crossed my mind.
19:30It fell in...
19:32I had to do it because I had no money left.
19:34So it was like, I'm gonna do this and I'll probably go home after Hong Kong.
19:38And I ended up making it here.
19:40And I'm just so happy that Lord Sugar chose me.
19:44It's so interesting, your perception of how you performed and appeared in the series
19:50versus the reality, I think.
19:52Because from the very beginning, it felt like you did not come to play.
19:56There was no intention of you leaving after Hong Kong or any other time.
20:00Did that feel like...
20:01Was that you trying to convince yourself?
20:03For a long time, I've needed to turn my life around.
20:06And I put every single night into it, every single moment I can,
20:09into turning this business into a success.
20:11So when I say in business, I have no fear.
20:15But in life, I'm just a very regular person.
20:18And I just cannot believe this is my life right now.
20:21Thank you guys for having me.
20:23I love you.
20:24I love you.
20:24Let's remind ourselves, just so you know, it actually did happen.
20:27Yeah.
20:27Here's your winning moment.
20:30The conclusion is...
20:33..that I'll be investing in...
20:38...Karishma.
20:39Oh, amazing.
20:40Thank you so much, Lord Sugar.
20:42I absolutely won't let you down.
20:43I came in with a very big dream.
20:45I need you by my side to make it happen.
20:47And I will absolutely not let you down in this process.
20:50Congratulations, Karishma.
20:51Thank you. Well done, Karishma.
20:52Thank you so much.
20:53OK.
20:54Thank you so much.
20:56You've both been incredible in the process.
20:58Off you go.
20:59Thank you. Thank you, Barnes Brady.
21:01Thank you, Tim.
21:03A winner!
21:05I believe you two.
21:07Well deserved.
21:08And I believe you when you say you won't let them down.
21:10Yeah, I won't.
21:11But I'm glad Lord Sugar saw it in me.
21:14And, you know, he said that, you know, it's hard to be a bit of him
21:18and you have to really impress him.
21:19And that was like me from the beginning.
21:22How do I make myself noticed?
21:23Because sometimes I'm a bit shy.
21:25I'm a bit quiet.
21:25I'm a bit introverted.
21:27Really?
21:28Yeah.
21:29I am.
21:30I feel like in the house as well.
21:31Like a lot of people wrote me off from the beginning.
21:34This is the thing.
21:34We were seeing you and we felt that you had this larger than life personality.
21:39The important thing I felt was that you made your work do the talking.
21:43It wasn't about what you look like.
21:45It was like, look at the results.
21:47This is what I do.
21:48You led with the fact that you were clever.
21:49You were smart.
21:50You were articulate.
21:51And you weren't going to just take the easy route from Hong Kong.
21:53When you were doing the negotiation, making that silly song, right?
21:56Right through to the very end.
21:58Look up.
21:58Mojang.
21:59It's still a good song.
22:00It's still a good song.
22:01You were.
22:01I stand by it.
22:03Yeah.
22:04But you were a grafter and I think Lord Sugar saw that from the beginning
22:07and really values that work ethic.
22:09But also you managed from the get-go to show your personality.
22:13So many of those tasks were kind of like a bit of me.
22:17And when I was explaining the task, Lord Sugar would say,
22:19this is what you're doing this week.
22:20I would sit there thinking, I've somehow managed to get lucky again this week.
22:25But I also realised I'm incredibly adaptive.
22:28I didn't know that about myself.
22:30Honestly, I came here and I'm like, wait, I know how to get doughnuts.
22:33I know how to communicate with people in Arabic.
22:37Like the two, three words I knew came in handy in Egypt.
22:40Like you really have to adapt.
22:41And I saw that side of me come out.
22:44And now every single day in business, I think if this was a task, how do I win?
22:47From like, I did an exhibition recently where I was selling
22:50and pulling people out of a crowd of 3,000 to sell.
22:53And I had my biggest, most successful weekend ever,
22:55a 20 grand weekend, which I've never had ever.
22:57And that was what I learned from selling flowers in the market.
23:00So this is going to be the reason I make it.
23:04This process, those 12 weeks.
23:06Let's talk Be The Sun.
23:08Because much like the other challenges that you led,
23:11you went in with an absolutely crystal clear vision on this one.
23:14Did it go the way you imagined?
23:16It went better than I imagined.
23:18My team was so solid.
23:20There was no ego there.
23:21This is a combined dream now.
23:23We have to take it to the win.
23:24And I was honoured to have those people on my team.
23:27They did better than I could have anticipated.
23:28And I had Rothner by my side.
23:30That girl knows skincare inside out, just like me.
23:33So that was probably an insane match.
23:36That's why it went well.
23:37And I was very proud of it.
23:39Lord Sugar was not convinced on the name.
23:42How does that work out?
23:43Well, it's gone. If he doesn't like it, it's done.
23:45You really impressed from the get go with that confidence that we all saw.
23:49But you mentioned Rothner.
23:52And when she left the process, I think I was certainly surprised.
23:55I think others were surprised by your response to her leaving and the significance you placed
24:00on her as a kind of partner in your corner and how she got you through the process.
24:07It's crazy how much you emotionally start depending on people in the process,
24:10because you are tested in all ways that you can imagine.
24:14And for me, as a person, it's always been a little bit harder to make friends.
24:18I feel like I'm a little bit different.
24:19And sometimes it's harder for me to make friends.
24:21But I think Rothner saw that I need her.
24:24She needs me.
24:25And we really got each other through it.
24:27Your dad was a kind of driving force and, you know, came up as the kind of inspiration
24:35and that like energy, I think, that was ever present, really.
24:40Mm-hmm.
24:40I always say, you know, Lord Sugar will teach me the ropes when my dad invented the ropes.
24:44So he honestly deserves all the praise in the world.
24:47That man changed my life and I have to do the same for him.
24:50And I will. I will.
24:52And this whole thing was so that I could just get us a home.
24:55And I hope that it's in the cards for us now because we deserve it.
24:59We've worked very hard.
25:00We've been hustling.
25:01When The Apprentice first promo came out and it was Hustlers Gonna Hustle,
25:05I said, OK, well, that's my line.
25:07I've been saying this.
25:08You know, I don't, I'm not, you know, I'm rough around the edges.
25:12But it sells. Realness sells.
25:14It was very clear that you had a very solid foundation because, as you said,
25:20there was a lot happening in through the process.
25:22You knew the North Star for yourself, where it was supposed to be.
25:26And every time you'd come up, whether it was your playing with your fingers
25:29or saying your affirmations to yourself, we were always seeing these little,
25:32little things that you did.
25:33And actually, it always powered you onto the next stage.
25:36And that's really, really important for people to understand.
25:41Karen, what do you think gave Karishma the edge for Lord Sugar?
25:45I think he absolutely saw your drive and your passion.
25:50I think he liked the fact that you turned your hand to everything that was put at you.
25:55And that you had some real wins.
25:58I mean, I'm talking about wins where the reason that task was won was because of you.
26:04And in some cases, only because of you.
26:08And at this level, as an investor, when you're investing in someone,
26:11it's not so much the idea as the person.
26:15And I think he saw that whatever you do, you're going to do it well.
26:19You're going to make him proud, as you've made yourself and your family proud.
26:22And you're not going to let him down.
26:24Thank you, Baroness Brady.
26:26It has been an absolute pleasure watching you, to use Karen's term, boss it from the beginning.
26:32So many of the tasks and strutting, not walking, never walking away with the investment.
26:38£250,000, it is a life changing amount of money.
26:44I mean, I feel like this is, it's just the beginning, right?
26:47Absolutely. I feel like this is something I needed to accelerate my career.
26:52I always say I needed a miracle. This is why I came here.
26:55Because there are so many beauty brands and so many people trying to do something new.
26:59And I think it does come down to the person.
27:01It really does come down to the reputation you've created in your industry.
27:05Do people buy into what you say? Everything is perception, right?
27:08So I feel like I spent seven years building that online,
27:11only for me to be able to say it confidently in front of Lord Sugar,
27:14this is who you're investing in. And yes, for my brand, this is the very beginning.
27:19And more products are coming, so much is in development, huge campaigns.
27:23I want to really see my brand on billboards grow so quickly.
27:27And be at the top, touch the skies like you guys, see you at the top as well.
27:31Yes.
27:31It would be great. It would be great.
27:33It's been an absolute pleasure. Congratulations once again.
27:37The winner of the Apprentice Series 20, Karishma, everyone.
27:41That is the end of the show and the end of the series.
27:45Thank you so much to the fabulous Karen, to Tim, to our runner-up Pasha,
27:48and of course, to our winner, Karishma.
