    [Spoiler alert]

    He invested in both finalists.

    Well it was a hard choice, after all dodgy agent jnr is "the best in the industry" (his own words in the final boardroom showdown). Let's see what stories turn up on here.

    Disclaimer: Only caught the end of the show so maybe they both had a really good product launch. At least they're doing what they want, like many on here with hopes of a plan B, so can't be too harsh on them.
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

        Funny how he kept going on about how he is going to focus on cyber security as this is the most in demand area.

        Good luck finding the candidates.......

              Jeez. So his business plan is pretty much based on nicking his leads from last place he got sacked from, taking the £250K and working under the misconception hes the best thing since sliced bread. Whats the world coming to?

              If I was owner of his last place and heard all that on national TV, I'd be on the phone to my lawyers now seeing if I could hammer the pr@ck.

              Also, would you trust an agent whos been so dodgy he got sacked as an agent. Ummm......

              Saying that the birds sweet idea was crap too. But I'd have given her one probably...

                It sums up the Apprentice that a recruitment agent won. Can't slam it anymore than that.

                  I quite liked her sweet idea. Not sure I'd have invested in it. But giving 0.25 million to that lad was barking mad. It was only when previous winner Rikki mentioned security during the final that it was suddenly James' target market. Typical agent.

                    Really? I honestly thought he was some kind of business expert?

                      You have to go back a long way for that. These days it is property and media.
