The BBC Apprentice series returns to our screens this year, kicking off on March 21th.
Meet Michael Copp from London, one of this year’s Apprentice candidates who will compete for the £250,000 investment fund from Lord Sugar and to become Lord Sugar’s business partner.

Name: Michael Copp

Age: 31
Occupation: MD Kitchen and Bedroom Furniture Retailer
Lives: London.

Michael says his biggest strength is his positivity but admits that he can be impatient.

In his spare time Michael enjoys fishing, walking and boxing. Michael, who is dyslexic, wishes he had worked harder at school and regrets leaving at 15 and not finishing his education.

He would have liked to have been the brains behind Apple as he admires the way they cornered the market with their products and set themselves apart from their rivals.

He says: “I’m better than unique; I’m naturally gifted in business.”
