The BBC Apprentice series returns to our screens this year, kicking off on March 21th.
Meet Azhar Siddique from Manchester, 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: Azhar Siddique

Age: 33
Occupation: Founder and Managing Director of Catering and Refrigeration Company
Lives: Manchester.

Thrill seeker Azhar enjoys shark diving and has two pet sharks. He feels his biggest strengths are his professionalism and integrity but also admits that he gets very restless very quickly.

In his spare time Azhar enjoys strength training and Muay Thai and loves scuba diving due to his passion for marine life.

Azhar is inspired by the IKEA brand and admires its founder, Invgar Kamprad, for always sticking to his high self-imposed standards.

He says: “It’s not who shouts the loudest; it’s who has the ability to control the conversation.”
