Trowbridge firm ‘hires’ Apprentice candidates
Southwick firm Leigh Park Garden Machinery featured on top BBC1 show The Apprentice on Wednesday night, after the business wannabees tackled selling its ride-on mowers at the Royal Bath and West Show.
The firm’s boss Derek Tucker interviewed both teams as potential salesmen, before choosing James and Roisin, whose Team Summit subsequently lost the week’s challenge, to work for him for a day.
The pair sold £3,597 worth of mowers, with team leader James Hill later fired by Lord Sugar.
Mr Tucker and his staff had been sworn to secrecy since the filming at last May’s show.
