From: Essex
What has been your biggest business success?: "My biggest business success to date is my current air conditioning company. We are an award-winning company winning the Best Tradesperson of the Year award in 2022-23. We have an incredible reputation within the industry and outstanding reviews on our platforms."
Describe your business plan: "My business plan is to grow and expand my current business, it's an air conditioning company that supplies and installs air conditioning units in homes or commercial properties."
Why should Lord Sugar invest in you?: "I honestly believe me and Lord Sugar are very similar. I can relate to a lot of things he has said and done in the past. He is very passionate about science and electronics and that's pretty much what air conditioning is, this is what he has done in his businesses and it's what he knows. This is right up his street. I'm just hoping he can show me the ropes and together we can get to the next level."
