Did he ever project manage?
Columbus Mash.
He was project manager where they had to sell 'British' products to the French.
"Tom giggled nervously when Lord Sugar announced that he was to be the Project Manager, but determined to make a good impression; he sent half of his team to Paris and went off to pick products that he could sell to the French outlets. Tom showed a liking for the pop-up postcard, the flying teapot lamp and the car seat booster for children.
Tomâs team lost the task when it was announced that the major shopping outlet hadnât placed any orders and with Tomâs personal sales book empty, it looked like some fast-talking was required. Tom decided to bring Melody and Leon back into the boardroom, saying, âI had one person who didnât listen...and then on the other side, one person who didnât do anythingâ. Tom wasnât fired, but hopes that Lord Sugar wonât be using a game of Snakes and Ladders to decide who heâll be going into business with."

I'm glad Tom won and would have been happy for Susan to win too, but I can't help thinking that they should have just examined the business plans and done the interviews, right at the beginning.
Would have saved time.
Exactly.
Garden path.
Couldn't watch last night due to TV signal problems. I think AS definitely made the right decision.
While Tom's business plan was obviously flawed, he definitely had the most potential.
Toms first computer was an amstrad at his age that shows incredibly BAD judgement.
Well ...............my son is 31 ...........we bought him a computer in 1987 - it was an Amstrad -that really all the choice in those days wasn't it?
Sinclair Spectrum....
BBC....
Commodore 64 Sinclair Quantum Leap
I think the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga were out by then, although either of those may have been one or two years later.
Oh she had an alternate what was that?
A chain of bakery shops speciallising in hand baked stuff.
Talk about digging your own grave! The concierge service for the common people was by far the worst of all the business plans presented.
I saw Tom on BBC breakfast and he was like an excitable little puppy. I love him. He's such a refreshing change from the corporate raiders that flock to this programme. With a little bit of business input from Lord S and his team Tom's going to be a very successful and worthy Apprentice winner.
Glad Tom won, because he is an excitable guy who seems like he will want to try new things, and yes he doesn't seem like the usual arrogant gits that are on there.
Glad Tom won! A genuine innovator who will need reining in, but that's what Sugar's for.
Helen was a robot and I hated her cynical attempt to sneak another business plan in at the last minute, when no-one would get the chance to evaluate it. Desperate?
Jim was a joke who should have been eliminated weeks ago.
Susan will do well, despite the savaging she got by the interviewers. So you can't start a natural cosmetics firm from a nmarket stall? Tell that to the Body Shop or Lush, who both started that way!
Just wondering - it might all be top secret at the moment in prep for a big launch but does anyone happen to know the name of Susan's skincare range?

That's So Skin Care, or sumfink?

Sounded like Lorshoogar still wants to do a deal with Susan, from what he said on the final 'You're Fired' show.
