The winner was at LBC but they said that they were sworn to secrecy and couldn't tell who had won!!

The winner of the first series of The Apprentice (2005) has left the £100,000-a-year job he landed after the show, working for Amstrad boss Sir Alan Sugar.
Sir Alan said former London Underground manager Tim Campbell, who was kept on after the end of his original 12-month contract, had been a "great asset".

Campbell is planning a male grooming business and an initiative that will give £1m a year to entrepreneurs.

Michelle Dewberry, also left Amstrad within months.

Simon Ambrose has won The Apprentice (2007), beating the show's favourite Kristina Grimes to the £100,000-a-year job with business mogul Sir Alan Sugar.

In the run up to the final episode of The Apprentice, recruitment entrepreneur Zena Everett has hit out at Sir Alan’s advisers for their unprofessional interviewing style: “Their bully boy tactics went against every single professional rule in the book.”


“OK, we all know it's a TV reality show but comments such as: ‘you're a contractor because no one is going to employ you’; and ‘your CV is one of the most boring CVs I've ever read’ hardly gives the right impression to any aspiring HR professionals watching,” says Everett, who founded London-based recruitment firm Perriam & Everett in 1992.

On last week’s show, Sir Alan’s advisers were Karen Brady, who, at just 23, was MD of Birmingham City Football Club; troubleshooter Claude Littner; Bordan Tkachuk, chief executive of Viglen Computers; and property tycoon Paul Kemsley. Everett reckons they were “rude, they didn't listen and they made personal remarks".

“Anyone worth their salt in recruitment knows that interviewing should be based on competencies – and not personal assumptions – otherwise you end up with subjectivity and even discrimination.”

“Despite the gloomy economic predictions of recent weeks, there is still a war for talent. When interviewing, you are selling as well as buying – something that Sir Alan’s advisers seem to know very little about,” adds Everett.

just read: I wouldn't count on anyone posting the winner here prior ot the final, but if you read back we do have a source that indicates that Claire and Lee ar the final 2 and that Alex walks. I think that's a bit more than just a rumour...!!!!


Alex walks Apparently because he was missing his girlfriend and didn't want to move to London.....

either that or he never actually wanted the job in the first place but thought it was a good way to get a bit of self promotion.....

Yes definitely Stray one of my favourite programmes,have watched them all.

Hard to make mind up,but Sir Alan likes Claire's selling skills and as long as she doesn't tell him what to do lol she's a likely winner.

Tonight they're in two teams so I guess it's whoever wins the task that has the advantage really.
