What's your biggest business success to date?
Running five retail shops for our family run distillery - from Newcastle to Swindon, and setting up a soft drink that pairs perfectly with our range of gins.
I am a selling machine.
What's your biggest business fail?
I'm not afraid to admit to making mistakes as I find it’s the best opportunity to learn from them, and shows a willingness to try different experiences. Not being afraid to be slightly alternative is one of my biggest advantages.
Tell us something about yourself.
I really hope there's a selling task because this is where I will dominate and prove to Lord Sugar, I am a selling machine. I work the markets selling gin and tonic, and there aren’t many customers that leave without buying.
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
I’m hard working and determined to achieve anything I set a goal to do. I fully enjoy what I do, and this will be applied to Lord Sugar if I manage to get the investment.
