Carrington Saunders for The Apprentice S20 / BBC
Age: 23
From: South East London
Occupation: Online Loungewear Business Owner
What’s your business plan?
“Expanding my online loungewear fashion business, Cas Collection, into our own app and brand partnership. Loungewear is a huge market and I think I’ve got the talent, motivation and expertise to tap into this. I’ve already had my business for two years, so my goal is to scale, reach a bigger audience and build a bigger turnover.”
What makes you a unique candidate?
“I am a unique candidate because my business vastly relies on social media, and Lord Sugar hasn’t had a business partner who is enveloped so heavily in social media. My business is already up, running and profitable, Lord Sugar will be entering a new sector of business with me.”
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
“I come from a divorced, household, which taught me early on the value of hard work and resilience. While studying at university, I invested my own money to launch Cas Collection, growing it into a successful business alongside achieving a first class degree. I deeply understand what women want from fashion to feel confident and good in themselves and that mission drives everything I do. I am extremely hardworking, resilient, and tenacious, and with Lord Sugar’s experience and support, I truly believe we can take this business to the next level and make a lasting difference for my family and the women my brand serves.”
The Apprentice returns Thursday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
