Fired Sandeesh in new career move
Nottingham recruitment consultant Sandeesh Samra has set up her own company since being fired on BBC's The Apprentice, it has emerged. The 26 year-old lasted seven weeks on the show but was "fired" by Lord Sugar when she lost a task involving selling blue screen film experiences to shoppers.
Millions watched as Samra, the project leader of Team Synergy, made £40 less than the rival team in a task which involved selling DVDs of children pretending to ski downhill in front of a blue screen at London's Westfield shopping centre.
In her third appearance in the bottom three, Lord Sugar lost patience and fired her as she failed to convince she was a stronger candidate than Birmingham investment banker Liz Locke and former University of Nottingham student Chris Bates.
Sandeesh has said she was "gutted" to be fired but has since returned to Nottingham to set up her own recruitment firm Hunt Pharma, which specialises in placements for the medical sector.
She has predicted that Bates will feature in this year's final.
