00:00You
00:12Previously on The Apprentice I
00:14Want you to make and brand your own unique pet food that was absolutely revolting
00:21But Glenn no more fat cats
00:23You've seen that cat next door. She's lost a load of weight. Look at her. Yeah, she's on that cat-sized stuff
00:28His teammates obeyed while he gave commands
00:32It's cat-sized see their lights
00:36Yeah, well we don't get it but we have got it written down
00:38Well, I don't appreciate you guys laughing your heads up and respect and that's how it's done on the other team
00:45Really like that one there Jim Jim was man's best friend for every day
00:49There's every dog proving a hit with his master Vincent, it's brilliant. I'm very concerned
00:57In the boardroom Glenn your slimline cat food is the better of the two cats
01:02But team logic fifth failure in a row
01:06Vincent Tom you've lost every single task
01:10Sure. Yes
01:12Jim got a mauling you nearly leapt out your chair there when I asked whose name was the every dog thing
01:18Me I came up with a name with the name slinking off. He left his master exposed
01:24Vincent so far up Jim's behind that you couldn't see the wood for the trees
01:29Sitting quietly didn't help Ellie. I haven't seen much of you Ellie. You're fired
01:36Two left but still time for walkies
01:39If you see someone else in this process that you think is superior to you might as well go home
01:44I think a message needs to go back. So Vincent, you're also fine. Vincent became the sixth casualty of the boardroom
01:53Now ten remain to fight it out to become Lord sugars business partner
02:15Good morning, Lord sugar would like you to meet him at smugglers way steel-toed capped boots and high-visibility jackets
02:22Must be worn by everyone the cars will leave in 20 minutes
02:26Going on a building site and now steel-toed
02:30Hmm, this will be the first I reckon we're on a construction site. We're gonna be with lots of men
02:37It's so excited. I need to have a cold shower
02:40Tread on my toes
02:45You
02:49This is definitely not a good look for me
02:52It's just please let me understand what is wrong with the name logic. It's just doomed tragic
02:59That's why I came up with the name venture because it was a winning name and then I'm not on the team
03:04How did that happen?
03:07Southwest London
03:10Smugglers way waste transfer station
03:15You
03:26Morning
03:28In this task, I just want to prove to you that you can make money from just about anything and in this case, it's rubbish
03:36now London produces
03:3855,000 tons of rubbish a day, but only
03:4220% gets taken away by the bin man. The rest is up for grabs
03:46So you're going to set up your own junk removal business. You're going to collect rubbish
03:52Dispose of it responsibly and make a load of money on the way
03:57now
03:58The teams are unbalanced at the moment Helen. I'd like you to move across the logic
04:04Now Karen will be following logic and Nick will be following venture
04:11All clear. Mr. Sugar. Okay. I'll see you back in the boardroom in a couple of days time
04:21Each team gets a one-ton tipper and two days to make money collecting rubbish
04:28To
04:30Turn a profit they must charge more for removing junk than they pay to tip it
04:39But there's a bonus root out the valuable stuff and money can be made flogging it on
04:48What is valuable and in metals are very valuable at the moment
04:52I've worked in construction property for the last seven years. So yeah, actually, you know what? I think I might be good at it
04:59To prove the business potential of rubbish first stop for both teams any junk with an annual turnover of five million
05:06It was started five years ago with a single truck by Jason Moore
05:11You make money from charging people to take away waste and then your big cost is disposal very broadly speaking
05:17It costs you about 115 pounds a ton to get rid of general waste people out there, especially the trade
05:22They know how much waste costs to get rid of right because they get rid of it regularly
05:25If it sounds too good to be true in terms of the price, it probably is. Okay
05:30Now they know the ropes the teams can pick their leaders
05:35Once when I was about 16 17, I was not a driver's mate going around actually picking the rubbish up
05:40No further than that. So I've been sort of drivers mate and a driver
05:43So understand like there's gonna be quite a lot of manual labor involved
05:46so that's probably how I'd see myself helping out in terms of experience got nothing at all, but
05:54If no one else wants to be project manager
05:57Right, I'll do it. I'll be p.m. Because
06:00We're wasting a lot of time by talking about it
06:06I joined a company two years ago that was making a substantial loss and it's now making a very good profit
06:13I think that why let others take control when I know I can do the best job
06:16Are we not going down a majority rule?
06:20I'm just not for talking about it for a good hour. I'll go with Zoe then. Yeah, I vote Zoe
06:28For me the most important thing is whoever feels confident
06:31They can get us a win yet to win a task team logic is joined by five times winner
06:37Helen where I feel like I could bring a lot to it is
06:41Organizing the team well making sure we get things done very quickly
06:45Helen stood out for me because she's put a strategy straight on the table everyone happy with that. Let's just do it
06:50Okay, let's go on to strategy
06:51I have a feeling that if we stop for a strategy of finding good metals and
06:57Just stuck with those then we know how much we get from selling them
07:00So we're not looking to charge people for us taking away from them
07:04Yeah, what we're doing is we're looking to make the margin when we sell it on because everybody agreed on that. Yes
07:10Yes
07:11Absolutely nailing this. I've won the last five. I'm not losing one
07:17Anything like this before
07:221.30 p.m
07:25Both teams split up
07:29One half chasing contracts
07:31What we really need to know is what is it you want us to take away?
07:34When is it you want us to do it the other half in the truck?
07:38We've got the boys on board
07:45Because I'm not being funny we spot an opportunity then we take it on the hunt for tradesmen with commercial rubbish to clear
07:52Zoe's tipper team Glenn and Leon target caps
07:57You've got any anything you need to get rid of any waste
08:01Materials anything like that. You need us to take care of where you're going. We'll have a look
08:04See what we what's the business you like? Sorry junk removals you are I guess
08:13Convinced there's cash in domestic trash Tom and Jim head for the suburbs
08:28Number 73
08:31House number 73 with the skip outside
08:36Hello, I've got a barbecue here
08:40It's it's a gas one. We can't just say that can we not at all no no
08:48Commercial junk can be a goldmine
08:52Lord sugars tipped off the teams about two clients with clearance contracts up for grabs
08:58But to get them they must quote the best price we need to find out what they do exactly
09:10For Helen time to take charge of new teammates Natasha and melody
09:15Are you not understanding what I'm saying? I don't think you understand what I'm saying
09:24First lead from Lord sugar the refit of a city bar
09:33You've got all the stainless steel
09:36Stacks of fittings that might sell for a profit
09:39Okay flooring, okay, probably somewhere around a hundred years old, but with the gems comes the junk general waste is pretty light
09:47What we don't want you to do is just take away the stuff that's got value which which makes sense
09:51We have five minutes to just
09:57To get rid of the lot the builders would expect to pay about a hundred pounds
10:09Well, we're not really no, I'm not a physical builder
10:12I mean, I'm completely shooting in the dark, but I'm willing to shoot so we round around about 500 quid
10:17We would make from this. Yeah, we would make about 500 quid if we're taking this
10:22Okay, which we're gonna make a lot you can use this to make the deal attractive to them. Yeah
10:26Yeah, I've been charged many many because our quote zero. Yes
10:31We're gonna make a lot of money from the
10:34I
10:37Think then what we can offer you is we could clear away your general waste for you
10:41There's stainless steel and the timber and there would be no charge for that
10:45Which is obviously a great solution for yourselves because you get rid of quite a lot of rubbish in one go
10:50Your best quotation is that there's there's no charge. We're looking to work in partnership with you
10:56We'll give you a call later. Okay, great. Thank you
10:59Quoting zero for this job is a really big risk because they got to find buyers for the wood and the steel tomorrow
11:05Oh, they'll make nothing and it could end up costing the money because anything they're left with they have to pay to tip
11:11Our quote is zero. Yeah
11:15We're making the assumption that the kitchen is worth more
11:19You've got no experience
11:22You said you wanted to take the lead because it's similar to what you do
11:25Back up. I have experience in construction property recruitment. You keep saying
11:30Outside you said I have experience in this I want to take the lead on this which is why you came in and took the
11:35Lead, I didn't see you jumping up insane. Excuse me. Stop everybody. Stop. We're not making any money here
11:41Well, actually I did the horse the train
11:44Yeah, the trains left the station. We're now going to a next station. So
11:48Come on right
11:51None of us were gonna know what was gonna be before us in the commercial dungeon
11:56However, maybe she just turned to me and basically got a big plate of blame and when they gave fancy a bite
12:03It's mainly stainless steels all the old kitchen equipment
12:06next to tender
12:08Zoe what did you say that this room is worth a ton Susan Edna and project manager Zoe
12:15Genuinely know as much as you do. Are you sure that doesn't go over one time Susie?
12:20Will you understand that I have not got away girls in my head?
12:24I do not know how long it takes to rip out buildings. I do not know. Okay
12:34No simple ladies simple I can't wait a ton of stuff with my eyes
12:40It's not simple if it's simple, you wouldn't be asking me the question
12:45Hi guys
12:47Yes, thanks. We've been through
12:50What you've just shown us. How about we charge?
12:54150 flat rate to take the lot
13:04Zoe yeah, you posted them 150 if it was me, I would just do it for free. I
13:12Don't know what you're doing Susie. I just don't are you trying to like sabotage this or what?
13:21Helen's bid to shift it for free gets the job
13:29Thank you, what if it's difficult to sell it or we have to pay to dispose of it
13:34You want to win it but not at a loss? No, we won't make a lot. So we hopefully
13:40North London
13:43Paid to cart off a load of plumbers waste Zoe's boys Glenn and Leon
13:48Let's um, see if we can get a ton into the van today. We'll do it for 110. Okay, definitely. That's not a sick news. Yeah
13:59Still on the hunt for domestic scrap we're primarily after a metal any types of metal Tom and Jim
14:07You've been told that people have heavy metal old bicycles good old scaffolding poles and old sink
14:14Oh really? There's old tap faucet heads
14:18Sorry, what do you have for us? I haven't got nothing. I got my skip out there. Everything goes in there
14:23I would see if we took stuff out of your skip then you'd have more room in your skip. Yeah
14:36This is not very fruitful at the moment
14:39We've spent however many hours going around and we've got five kilos of ferrous metal. So we've got like ATP
14:53Fulham West London
14:56The second tip-off from Lord sugar, so you've got 12 desks
15:00We've also got four meeting chairs here on other
15:04Surplus office furniture. I actually think there's quite a lot of resale value in this product
15:08Well, I'll quite for taking everything off your hands and being able to get rid of it very quickly
15:13We can come back tomorrow and do it and there wouldn't be a charge for it. Super
15:16Thank you very much coming in. I'll come back to you a bit later. I think that's not good business
15:20I completely appreciate what you're saying. I just wanted to call either way. I know I appreciate it and it's not
15:27Anyway, we've done it now
15:296 p.m
15:31Last chance for Zoe to clinch a commercial contract
15:35What would you say take it away for what one figure I think we could probably get away with charging something like around
15:43100
15:44Suzie I just don't know if this price is competitive enough. You think we should go lower?
15:48No
15:48We need to go higher right because it's whoever offers the higher amount for all these goods to the guy that will get it
15:55We're not giving him a hundred quid, I thought we were coming here to pay him some money to buy his furniture of him
16:06No, you want him she yeah
16:11Yes, that's why I need to take away their way
16:14It's a service that's what this whole task is about. I don't know what's in your head at the minute
16:20Maybe I've gotten the complete wrong of the stick then this is not an easy business. This is a very subtle business
16:27It's full of tricks. It's full of people who know
16:30Exactly what things are worth and I hope they were listening to the briefing this morning
16:35If they weren't listening, they're gonna end up on a rubbish heap. We will clear all this tomorrow
16:40Okay, and we'll do it for a hundred pounds. Is that the best offer you can do?
16:46Okay
16:47We'll go down to 80 pounds then we're cutting our throats there. All right. Well, I appreciate that and we'll let you know
16:55I
16:58Feel like the biggest idiot in the world right now 7 15 p.m
17:11That's fantastic news, thank you so much Chris
17:18I
17:23Okay, no problem
17:27Shit so he did want money for your furniture, so I'm not an idiot
17:47I
17:56Had the most terrific time why we've messed the entire lot up
18:03Listen
18:05We'll sort it out. All right, we still got a day left to rectify. This isn't the last hour
18:10This isn't the end of it. In fact, this is the biggest time when the chips are down
18:13This is when you have to step it up. No mess. We have to smash it tomorrow
18:17No problem
18:27730 a.m. Battersea
18:34Sorting depot for both teams
18:41Scrap merchants will buy metal
18:48Rubbish must go to the tip where the teams must pay to get shot of it
18:55And salvage can be sold so we're in pretty good condition if they can find buyers
19:02We've got 13 big desks in very good condition
19:07You could have a look at it and see if you're interested
19:10Alright guys bit of a disastrous day yesterday to say the least but we can pull it out, right?
19:15Got to focus on metal. I'm gonna split the teams. So we've got Edna Glenn and Susie
19:20You're gonna make the appointments and go off and try and get as much metal as you can
19:25Me and Leon are gonna follow you around in the type of truck and try and clear all up. Okay
19:378 30 a.m. Did you say you had a bit of lead and copper there?
19:46In the city Helen's first clearance contract
19:51In the basement
19:54Two tons of rubbish stainless steel and hardwood flooring
19:59Tom and Jim's van up two flights of stairs
20:15We
20:18Just thought we'd ask
20:20Tom that word is a hundred years old
20:23They've obviously charged nothing to pick up this waste and every minute counts now
20:28They have to get a move on to get it to the place where someone's going to pay them for the waste
20:32Otherwise, they've got no income
20:37Great back at the depot
20:39Okay, brilliant. Well, we'll be there and try and do that job for you
20:43Melody is pushing for a job that will pay up front. He said he's got about
20:48150 bags of rubbish so we can charge for the service. Yeah, this is exactly what I think this business is about
20:56It's obviously not what our focus was. Our primary strategy was to go for metal, but that's a very good call
21:02Yeah, that's brilliant. Brilliant
21:06Fulham
21:07West London
21:09To talk us through the job fixed on the phone by Edna clear some plumbers waste
21:16We've got copper cylinders
21:19but
21:20Obviously, they're worth quite quite a few pounds each. They're not really the problem
21:24Okay, what we need you guys your services what we do have a lot of
21:29There's a lot of rubbish
21:31We are definitely gonna need to see two trips
21:33So I was thinking I will give you a one a cash and as payment for clearing out the yard
21:38I will give you two small copper cylinders
21:42Two doesn't actually cover the cost how about a hundred pounds cash to get rid of that and three cylinders three cylinders because otherwise
21:49We're just making no profit. Yeah, we're literally
21:52We're just breaking even we've got all labor
21:55Just just to add to that how much would you sort of give us the other two cylinders for?
22:01For 40 pounds each and I know you'll get more than that
22:04So 100 take away 80 sets you give us 20 pounds and we take the copper a lot. Yeah
22:09Yeah, that yard has to be clear. It has to be clean
22:14Tell them that we'll be there in half an hour 45 minutes. Yeah quick if you can because we've got another appointments
22:20Shortly after this one. Bye. I
22:22Didn't want to put Susie and Edna on any of the manual tasks. She's quite little isn't she? She's very weak
22:31Midday
22:32Back from clearing the basement bar Helen's truck. Have you all got it?
22:44Still to fetch the office furniture
22:49But first Melody's new job, it's a big job so you can charge him charge him 200 to 250 pounds. Okay, cool
22:57I'm really happy. I've been able to secure an appointment, which is probably the only job we'll have where we can charge service
23:03We need to be charging for our business really because that's how you make money
23:07Time is money
23:09It's a local pickup. This is a
23:13Builders rubble and a bit of metal
23:19Somewhere near there
23:27Well, I'll tell you you're a good man, you know, he's meeting the middle and everyone's happy to 60 to 70 meeting them
23:33Oh, but that's not meeting in the middle
23:39With two truckloads to shift
23:42Lord sugar's office contract will have to wait. I
23:46Wondered if we could make it about half three. Would that still be possible?
23:52That's good, we've got it all under control
23:57The
23:59Plumbers yard
24:02Two truckloads of rubbish with only Leon and Zoe to load it
24:13Susie without being insulting
24:16So is there any chance that
24:19Absolutely
24:20Yeah, she's happy with that
24:22Tell her to be as quick as she can and we'll carry on working and get everything ship shape
24:26I'm feeling a lot more positive today. I'm feeling really positive about the copper cylinders
24:30We've got we have got ways to clear but the guy described it as honest work and that's the way I'm used to
24:35It's hopefully we can get that out and then get the reward of the copper
24:45North London a reclamation yard
24:49We've got 31 bags of this this is good quality
24:54You know stuff that we definitely know that but obviously you all want to make a profit for it
24:58So we'll sell you about 200 pounds
25:04Getting the ones over Helen's wooden flooring
25:09But I'll tell you one off and now I'm one off Riley it's 120 pounds and that's it
25:13I won't go a penny above that. It's just not worth me doing it
25:17And I'll get my letter unload the van for you
25:20Well, Lord sugar made the point that you can make money from almost anything and I think that's just been proven four five six
25:29This sale based on their strategy of only picking up rubbish that has a resale value has worked
25:46A
25:48Kringle dock refuse transfer station. Yeah, one, two, three
25:55With another load to collect the job could cost more to dump than they charge
26:04110 pounds seems a lot of weight at the moment. We're 110 pounds down
26:11It's gonna take us longer to load up get rid of it, right
26:16We make a choice to write it off and going to get something else. Hello
26:21Tom hi, we've got some different views coming from this end at the moment as to whether I'm bothering finishing this job
26:38We're doing everything as fast we can bye
26:41Bye-bye
26:43Good job. We didn't keep lining up appointments because there's no way we've got to go to get to the mall. What would I say?
26:542.30 p.m. So we're 60 quid down. So whatever we make from the copper we have to minus 60 quid
27:01For Susan and Glenn another plumber
27:07Is a copper cylinder or
27:09Inside yes sizing up the value they pay to take it 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
27:17There's a receipt there for this lot. It's gonna make us 280. Yeah, we're paying a hundred pound for it. I
27:24Think it's alright
27:25Still clearing the plumber's yard Zoe and Leon
27:32Turning up to tidy Edna
27:34Right, can we try and finish this in five minutes to some extent I've been in both camps
27:39I've been the brains and I've been the brawn as well
27:42Two people to sweep up and I'll talk to him about the money
27:45I've decided which appointments we should go to but I've also decided that I'm needed to help to shift some of the load
27:51It's really clean
27:53I'm quite surprised to be honest with how clean I've done is it has cost us a little bit more because it was half a
27:58Ton more than we thought it would be. I know we said like you'd give us 20, but we're looking for
28:04more that's possible
28:08We had a deal we agree that I did promise to pay a 20 pounds is good price to you good price to me
28:24At Melody's Battersea builder second load, there's more bags here now than when we first arrived
28:30We've had to deal with
28:34No, but you've added to the load you've changed the deal you've added to
28:51The deal was one to have tons. Yes or no?
28:53No, there wasn't in white the deal was for you to take all of that
28:56You say was one half time I could have got the whole lot taken right with the 240 quid the whole lot
29:13Three hours left to turn garbage into gold and we've got to about three times
29:20So you've had a result yeah
29:27Get a move on
29:40We've got absolutely loads of stuff to get rid of I am seriously worried about that we're gonna be 730
29:49This task is really about logistics getting the materials where they need to be before the deadline
29:56They're a really bright start, but they are
29:58Absolutely on the brink of losing it. What's how we're gonna get rid of all of this stuff
30:13Things are humming now. They're really working like a well-oiled team at the moment
30:20It's a pity they didn't start earlier
30:23I
30:25Hear to weigh up Helen's metal a scrap dealer shall we start with the copper
30:34We don't count the off-key like we so we'll be looking at 20
30:39It's not all stainless steel
30:41That's stainless steel. That's not
30:45No, so it's less money. It means it's on the way and I'll just make a deduction for the iron
30:51In total you've got
30:53123 kilos of iron
30:5671 a lead
30:58Stainless steel 105. Let's work something out then. Well
31:04393 pounds 70 pence. Let's round it up. We don't round it up
31:08What's a 400?
31:10Can we round it up to 400 pounds 10 410 pounds? I could do you 400. I couldn't do the 10 on it
31:16410 come on 410 if you load it all on yourself
31:26Cash from scrap for Helen's team
31:31But with time running out they've still got money tied up in the office contract
31:38Well done Jim good work Tash last three chairs
31:43Okay, do you want to go with if we weigh your copper first, okay
31:49Now Zoe's turn to cash in
31:59915 quid
32:01Think we are happy with that
32:03You've been amazing. You've really pulled it back today. Good evening, sir
32:08We have 12 desks dicks on the stacking chairs 840 cabinets, what's the price you're looking for?
32:14We need 25 pounds a desk. We'll check everything. We can check everything else in with it. You're making a big margin
32:19That's not huge. I mean look at that quality chair. Well for the whole lot pay to pay 300 pounds
32:30730 p.m.
32:33Last load dumped
32:37It's back to the house
32:39We could not have done anything more unless we stumbled across a copper mine gold mine
32:45I
33:05Have lost the last five in a row
33:08It felt so good yesterday to see dirt on me to see my fingernails dirty to see dust in my eyes
33:17So I made so many bad decisions on this house that I don't even know where to start
33:21And she was just sad pessimistic with a horrible attitude throughout the task. I never ever want to work with her again
33:37You can go through to the boardroom now
34:08Good afternoon
34:12Well, I said the beginning of this process that this is all about
34:17Showing how we can start businesses up very very simply
34:21Well, this is a classic example, isn't it? Because whatever the outcome here today
34:25We all know don't we that we actually went out and starting from nothing. We actually took some money
34:30Yeah, which is what I did about 45 years ago
34:35So I'm not asking you to do anything I couldn't do myself
34:39Now let's start off with logic. Who is the team leader? I was Helen
34:45Yeah, I am I've always been on team venture. We mean to been a winner. I mean you've experienced winning. Yeah time. Yeah
34:52Take me through it the two commercial pitches
34:55We went in quite hard for them and decided not to charge taking the things away
35:00But we want to be able to take away the valuable items you decided that you weren't going for what I call
35:06The margin side of this business. Yeah, the margin side of this business for clarity means
35:12You might charge someone a hundred quid to dispose of their problem
35:17Yeah, I only get charged 50 pound when you dispose of it. That's a margin. That's what you didn't go for that
35:23No, we did take more of a high-risk strategy and that and that is on my head. Did it work?
35:27Yeah, it was a good move
35:29Yeah, we wouldn't both the pitches we didn't pay any money for them, but they didn't pay us any money Melody
35:35You you weren't very happy with the the non-charging stress. Well, I'll be honest and say that my opinion was that
35:41Actually labor costs our time will cost for that
35:45We should be charging for a service and then also be making a profit
35:48so while all this was going on you to step down son you were out on the
35:53Junk patrol I was in after the I've lost five in a row. I met so I was very
35:59I know like recycling
36:02Enough times in this boardroom
36:04And it seemed that the money that you could make from month from metal
36:08But I think the real problem was you were so focused on metals that you only asked metal and you just
36:14Completely ignored all the very valuable other items they have. Yeah, we were very focused on metal
36:19Bit like magpies then you're looking for glistening
36:22Listenings when you we knew that if we got metal we had a guaranteed sale value
36:26I think the build is also not totally clueless. They're looking for an overall service to take warts and all
36:33And on day two you found yourself another job of your own then didn't you rather than the two?
36:38I laid on yeah melody phoned up and found that one. We charged 260 pounds charge them to take the stuff
36:44Yeah, and we got lots of copper and we made money out of what came back. So it was a very lucrative visit
36:49Well, we had to do two truckloads. We came back for the second trip
36:53He had added to the bounty and he was mean added. Sorry
36:57I'm he added more he added more to the while you were away. He added more rubbish. Yeah
37:01Yeah, no disrespect to builders, but they've known to be a little bit
37:05Tricky and again, and I think you were warned about that one. Yes. Yeah, the deal was a long job, wasn't it?
37:12Yes, that last deal don't sound too good to me really
37:15Right
37:17Adventure
37:19Team leader was Zoe. Yeah, you've been the team leader already. I have indeed
37:24Basically, everyone was faffing putting the hand in putting hand out. I can't be doing with faffing and time-wasting
37:30So I said right that's it. I'm p.m. Onward. Did you buy your bottle there and all the rest of you?
37:35Is that what you're saying?
37:36One of the I put myself forward as p.m. As well. Hold on a minute chaps. Yeah, Zoe was emphatic
37:43Yes, I'll do it and you two guys actually admitted that as young chaps you've done a little yeah
37:48Have you done?
37:49I said when I was younger I'd gone out and collected waste and been paid for it
37:53You let her be the team leader and shouted you down them. No, you're not gonna do it. I'm
37:58Not fully
38:01Okay, they won you lost the pitches. I'm gonna take the blame for that
38:04Um, basically I was under the impression that we were providing a service and we should be paid for that service
38:11I've put myself forward. I've put my neck on the line. I've got it wrong. Sorry
38:16well
38:18Apologizing to me. I mean it's your team whether whether you're gonna win or not
38:23So the two people that I laid on for you, you didn't get them so you had to get your own stuff
38:27We look through the directory. I made two appointments. I made the appointments
38:32I'll probably explain that I called up the plumbers because we felt that the strategy should be get to go for metal
38:39They pay you or they paid us for the first one
38:41They pay 20 pounds for the first one to take some stuff to take the stuff away
38:44But they also gave us five large copper boilers, which we thought very valuable who found that one
38:50That was myself the first one. Yeah, both of them I found
38:54So, let's see how we did do
39:00Nick let's hear team venture how much they took. Yep Zoe's team earned through sales and
39:08Charges made
39:121045 pounds and they spent by way of buying loads and and tipping charges
39:17339 pounds which generated a profit of seven hundred and six pounds
39:25And
39:27Logic well Helen's team your revenue was a thousand and ninety pounds
39:33The
39:35Expenditure which included dumping that that was three hundred and seventy eight pounds
39:40So your profit was seven hundred and twelve
39:50Six pounds a kilo of copper
39:57Tom you've had your first win
40:00Helen you've now been on a winning team six times. So you're like the lucky masco
40:06After being surrounded by rubbish for the last couple of days
40:10I think you'll enjoy a chance of getting cleaned up if if none the least
40:15Melody you can get your manicure done again. Most of it. Thank you. No sugar. You're going off to Britain's only
40:21Natural thermal spa for a bit of pampering and I'll see you on the next task. Have a good time. Thank you
40:29My
40:39Disposals in this boardroom get taken away at the end in the back of a taxi. I'll see you back in the boardroom shortly, okay
40:59They work hard play hard
41:03Does this what all the treats are like getting better every time well done and a great win for team logic
41:11Cheers
41:24So wrong
41:26Well, we just didn't have six pounds worth of copper
41:28But something led up to why my next on the line on this one, but it's no guts. No glory
41:34I had to step up the other team had three jobs. We only had two jobs
41:39I definitely should not be fired today. I feel that I've been the brains behind this whole operation
41:43I feel really quite disappointed to have lost by just six pounds that really shows that we did really well
41:48Considering we lost both of the pitches
41:50I'll tell you why I shouldn't be fired because again, I say it again on every task
41:55I give 110% Leon in terms of ideas didn't really contribute
42:00Edna
42:02poor
42:09You
42:15Yes, would you send them in please you can go through to the boardroom now
42:39I
42:42Have to say Zoe that I do appreciate people that do admit their mistakes and I do
42:49Appreciate people that put themselves forward and take up the challenge to be the team leader
42:54I know you that you've done that a couple of times
42:57But there are occasions when you should know not to put yourself forward
43:01I mean, you know, it's not just a case of bullying the China shop every time. No totally agreed
43:06But it was on this occasion
43:08it was a case of do we sit down for a good hour and have an ethical vote and all discuss each other's skills and
43:14Go through the entire HR process or do we get on with a bloody task because we had a limited time frame to make money
43:21Tell me what was your strategy then? The strategy was to go for metal. I hopefully stick to plumbers and
43:29My personal goal was to aim family businesses because in my own experience you get to the top very quickly
43:36And it worked so you did not raise up that strategy on the first day the first I've heard of that exactly
43:43Did not raise that shadows. I say I
43:45Spoke to Glenn about it and we we went on to look for metals and we secured two pitches both plumbers who negotiated
43:53When you found these plumbers
43:56First time around it was myself Edna and Susie the second time around it was just myself and Susie just take me through the negotiation
44:04Negotiation was based on the amount of copper that the gentleman had three cylinders plus 100 pounds a clear everything away and
44:11The guy you a hundred pound pay us a hundred pound and chuck in three and three
44:18Going to three I got into three I I pitched in as well. I think I think it was a collective
44:26Different I negotiated this I did this as the boss of this team that you were there
44:31What was your what's your call on it?
44:33Who did do it Glenn was actually the person that advised plumbing and that said about the copper
44:39He really pushed that one. No, that's
44:42Not correct. That is really unfair. I'm struggling to understand who does what?
44:52You know when an idea gets put forward sometimes Edna will jump on the back if it's good agreed
44:57She's she's just jumped on the back of every single thing that's gone along on this task. That's a bit unfair
45:03Well, that's how I'm afraid. I mean in terms of just getting the appointments
45:07I didn't make sure I asked the right questions as well
45:09And I asked them to estimate how much tons of metal they had and the type of metal
45:13So I think asking the right questions making sure the appointments that were being set up were good appointments
45:18Anybody can make a phone call. Okay, so let's not say we kind of track someone down and you work relentlessly
45:24You know, you made a phone call and you got a couple of appointments out of the three of you
45:29Can you decide who was responsible you think was more responsible for pulling in the deal on the first deal on the first?
45:35In terms of closing the deal. It was a collective thing
45:42I'll take Susie. I'd say was me Edna
45:46That closed the deal. Yeah, it's very very hard for me to cut through all this stuff to be honest
45:52So it's down to the team leader to decide who they're bringing back in this ballroom, you know, I don't know and Susan Lord sugar
46:01Yeah, can I just ask a quick question
46:04You have had to do that so shortly when you come back in. Okay. Yeah. All right
46:08Well, Leon Glenn off you go back to the house you
46:19You three step outside and
46:22I'll call you back in shortly
46:32Edna takes credit when it's simply not you. Yeah, I've seen that. Yes, madam echo. I can see that it
46:39If anybody cottoned on to the business task here on day one
46:42It was Susan who bends too quickly to the will of the others. So he missed the point
46:49Completely she sort of pulled it back together on day two
46:52But I think she's out of depth on day one rushed in too quickly. I think she just didn't get it
47:02Hi, can you send the three of them in please?
47:06Lord sugar will see you now
47:18Well
47:23Susan you wanted to ask a question
47:27Why did you bring me in here?
47:29The way I judged it was if I could have done the task without them
47:33Then they didn't need to be there if you can run the business without certain people. They don't need to be there
47:38That is absolutely ridiculous. Oh, hey, first of all, okay. What did you do in the pitch while I was trying to get my head?
47:45Straight and speak to the guy you went Zoe. How much does this way Zoe? What is this Zoe Zoe Zoe, which was very unprofessional
47:52Well, I was sorry. No answer then. Can you just not say anything for just five minutes?
47:57Yeah, okay on the first day if you had gone with what I had said for both pitches
48:01We would have maybe bagged the pitches what just anyway listen on the second day
48:06I was the one who secured the first appointment for the job
48:09Okay, there were three extra copper cylinders that I managed to buy. I believe I made that appointment
48:14Didn't you yeah, but I was I sealed the job and it definitely made the appointment just said you made the
48:20You made the appointment or you didn't make the job, but you sealed the job, but you didn't make the appointment
48:27So can you just please and you criticized I had no strategy. I had no this I did that wrong
48:33I did the other wrong. Why didn't you put yourself forward strongly? Why didn't you say right guys?
48:37I'm gonna be project manager, but why are you bringing this in? This is nothing to do with the loss of the task
48:42Yes, you're saying we didn't have a strategy. I should have gone with this
48:45I should have done that if you could have done a better job question
48:48Why didn't you do it seriously if you're gonna go and run a business?
48:51You've got to put yourself out there. You've got to take risks. You've got to go for things
49:00The reason why I didn't put myself for for this particular task because I didn't think I'd win as the project manager
49:05I didn't think I had the skills
49:06None of us have the skill hold on giving you the floor at the moment Susan and Zoe just being quiet for a second
49:14What is it that she did wrong on the first day? She had no strategy. I don't care what you say Zoe
49:18I had no idea what I was doing
49:20She gave us no direction as to what to do
49:22We didn't get the pictures because she made a fundamental mistake mistake of not listening to me at all
49:27Zoe you would have to acknowledge wouldn't she that he would have got the furniture pitch
49:32Had you just offered 50 quid for example because the other team got it for nothing and clearly
49:38Desks and chairs are worth something. But nevertheless you asked him for 80 quid. Yeah, I got that really really wrong
49:45I actually put myself forward and said that we should be looking at paying about a hundred pounds because I thought the desks could sell
49:51For a lot of money because they were very good quality and Zoe made me feel like an absolute idiot
49:56She basically just looked at me and said, oh my god, Susie. I can't believe you. What are you?
50:02Actually said have I got this really wrong? I said have I completely misunderstood this and what you said is why are you
50:09Misunderstood this task from day one
50:11I did my level best to recover it but none of the decisions made on day two were down to you at the end of
50:17The day we decided to focus on the fact that we had messed up on day one
50:20I
50:21Decided what appointments we were going to go to and what appointments we weren't going to go to because we had a lot of catching
50:26Up to do at the end of the first day
50:28We should have got together and planned for the second day
50:30But you had fallen apart hadn't fallen apart. I was really upset with myself because I've made massive mistakes
50:36You were not good for team morale. No, no, you would fall apart Zoe
50:40So there was nothing happening in terms of project management and we had to know the beginning of the second day
50:46I was very motivational and got you all going again
50:52Edna I'm just looking at some of the claims that you make in your TV. One of them is
50:59Quite interesting where you talk of a proven ability to generate
51:03Highly original ideas and translate these into workable solutions
51:08can you tell me where you have come up with any highly original ideas and
51:13translated them into
51:15Workable solutions. I was complimented on the number of ideas that I came up with who by by the team by the entire team
51:22I don't implement you
51:24And hold on a minute all I keep hearing is you say you do things and people say you didn't well
51:29No, he's saying I haven't done that. Not what you've written down here. This should be game set match. You've got the job
51:34I have a proven track record. I do business
51:39I'm a HR consultant. I train HR people to be more profitable. I train chief executives how to be better at their job
51:45We change chief executive. Absolutely. I can give you a real pool a person who has a
51:50Budget of five billion pounds to be spent over five years
51:53I'm the individual who does an assessment on that particular person and his leadership team and I coached them how to be even better
52:05Do you need training? No, I don't think so, but I must say Lord sugar that I have an MBA in
52:11Innovation and entrepreneurship that makes me very versatile. I can be a
52:15entrepreneurial and innovation
52:17That makes me very versatile so dependent on the task I can actually apply myself in a number of different ways
52:23That's something I don't think that everyone else could say. All right, okay, okay
52:29Susan did you understand this task?
52:31Absolutely. I understood this. There is a
52:34Failure somewhere isn't it? And that is that you cave in too fast to weigh to your voices
52:40Because I think sometimes you talk great sense
52:44But you don't push your point strongly enough because you're overawed by those around you they shout you down
52:50I do definitely feel like this
52:53It was Zoe there were a couple of occasions where she really really made me feel incredibly small by shouting at me
52:58People look at me and think oh, she's young. She probably can't do anything
53:02They don't trust my judgment, but I do have pals. I was young
53:05I was 17 when I started my business so it doesn't bother me me to Lord sugar
53:11It doesn't bother me at all, but you know, I've also seen 17 year olds that talk a load of crap
53:22Zoe you lost it on this one your own admission
53:25You lost it and I'm pleased that you admitted that you lost it because it saves me a lot of time going over it
53:31But there's a limit to how long I'm gonna put up with someone continually telling me
53:36Well, I've got it wrong and I've got this wrong and I got that wrong and a bit of a blin of China shop
53:43I'll move on to Edna
53:48You are highly qualified in what you do
53:51But I think what I've seen here in the last couple of weeks in particular today
53:56Is that you're someone who wants to take the credit for a lot of things and it just don't stack up
54:02Susan you're very young. I don't want any more discussion. I'm talking
54:09And you know, I'm a good ally for a young person because I remember back when I was that young
54:15I've seen a few things that you've been quite good at but I've seen a lot of things that I'm not happy with
54:22Okay, not happy at all with
54:25Susan
54:29I'm giving you another chance
54:36And so I've concluded that
54:42Zoe you did lose control of it
54:45You're not happy with what you're doing
54:47Concluded that
54:51Zoe you did lose control of it
54:56However, Edna, I just don't think that me and you are gonna gel in business
55:03And I wish you well, but Edna
55:06You're fired
55:18I see you on the next task. Okay, so off you go
55:32The more I listen to
55:35Business speak a business talk. There's never any meat in it. That's the problem. It's just waffle
55:40Hmm. Well, anyway, Zoe's made some mistakes. I've forgiven her. She's not gonna be forgiven again
55:48I
55:56Have three degrees one BSC and two master's degrees
55:59I will also had successful businesses as well. So I'm sure I'll be successful in whatever I do
56:06Whatever pressure you're under you need to keep a level of professionalism. You pointed your finger at me
56:11You were shouting at me
56:13At the pitch you were saying don't ask me
56:16I do not know yet because you continued persistently asking asking asking on and on and on and on and on
56:23It's like a school kid going. Can I do this? Can I do this? Can I do this? You don't shut up?
56:28Okay, keep going
56:30You have to admit that you probably would not have spoken that way to anyone else within this within. Oh, yeah
56:35I would yeah, I would I definitely hope Zoe's coming back
56:40Edna seemed to she had a few a few hours short of her
56:44Every every last inch, but it would be between Susie
56:53I'm on last chance saloon next next slip up for me and I'm out without doubt
57:00In the fight for Lord sugars quarter million pound investment nine candidates
