I've spent over 20 years inside the betting industry. I'll guide you to avoid the hype, ignore the noise, and steer clear of the common pitfalls that catch out everyday punters.
Thursday night is the final of the Apprentice when either Kathryn Louise Burn or Harpreet Kaur will go into a business partnership with Lord Alan Sugar as they are crowned winner of The Apprentice 2022
Not only will Lord Sugar be considering the business acumen of the two girls in the final but also the viability and scalability of the business ideas they have brought to the table. Looking at recent winners, we don't really gain great insight for making a prediction for the final which airs on Thursday night [24th] on BBC.
The last winner of The Apprentice in 2019 was Carina Lepore who had a business plan for an Artisan Bakery, whilst before that in 2018, Sian Gabbidon was into Swimwear.
The 2 finalists this year are not far removed from those ideas with Harpreet having an established Cafe business and Kathryn in the textiles trade with a range of Pyjamas for the whole family [Including the dog!]
