As avid fans will know, the filming of the apprentice actually finished in October 2005. My focus was to get back to work doing what I love. As stated on the show my job was left open for me, regardless of what happened. I learnt so much about business and myself which I put in practice in the work place.

My hard work paid off in many ways such as personal satisfaction, job satisfaction, financial remuneration but also in recognition, which as a salesman has always been important to me. In May 2006 I was awarded the company Porsche for finishing 94% above my sales target. I was so pleased to have won this as it put to bed any doubts I had about myself post the boardroom grilling! I am currently working even harder to ensure I keep it, as unfortunately it’s up for grabs every six months to the top performer.
