Rachel Woolford: ‘The Apprentice is the best thing I ever did’

A business owner hoping to follow in Ms Woolford’s footsteps is Keir Shave.

Mr Shave, who grew up in Harrogate and now has a telemarketing company in Leeds, is set to feature in the upcoming series of The Apprentice.

Setting up his business in just three days, after his previous employer went bust overnight, Mr Shave employs more than 40 staff.

The 27-year-old said he had the “drive, skill and passion” in abundance to run a successful enterprise.

Offering advice to future contestants, Ms Woolford said: “I’m not afraid to admit this, honestly it was not the plan to win.

“I think the people that go on to try to win it, they went early doors. Go in with an attitude of seeing what it is all about, be yourself and if that’s not enough, be OK with that.

“There are some days when you really struggle when you’re filming. I really missed my business, I really missed my family, but it was a massive growing process.”

She advised others to strap in for the ride and take advantage of the feedback.

“If you use those opportunities and capitalise on it, it’ll be the best thing,” Ms Woolford added.

“Personally, it’s the best thing I ever did in my career.”
