��ý - The Apprentice Series 5 - Candidates - Candidate Expansion - Rocky Andrews

Rocky Andrews

Fired:	Week 2	Qualifications:	n/a
Age:	21	Qualifications:	n/a
Career:	Sandwich Chain Owner	Hometown:	North Yorkshire

Rocky Andrews is this year's youngest candidate and already earns more than the salary on offer from Sir Alan. He left school at 16 to pursue a football career with Middlesbrough United but was soon diagnosed with arthritis making it impossible to continue. A year later, Rocky decided to start up a lucrative sandwich business which now includes 15 shops across the North East of England.

He says: "For me business is about hard-work, attention to detail, being willing to make mistakes and learning from these mistakes."

This guy looks like a strong contender, but I have to wonder why people with successful businesses want to work for an employer. Sir Alan has said the same thing.

Looks like a strong candidate. I will be very surprised if he is binned early. If he goes far, questions will have to be asked about what a highly successful chap like this is doing gunning for the big job.....

This makes a mockery of the show, the guy owns his own business and earns more than is on offer, the job as apprentice is a backward step. Sir Alan will ask why he wants the job to which he'll get the usual "I want to work and learn from the best" NONSENSE!! It's someone who looks interesting and fancies being on TV. The show should screen people out to avoid the show looking false. Its getting weary!!

Who can say more than Charles Sweeney and juiceproducer.

Running your own business is the best way to live. To go back to the corporate world is such a bad move but the reason Rocky can't see this is because he has never been in the corporate world and it sounds more exciting than sandwiches in Durham.

He might do alright to start with but he is very young and could you really take a leader seriously with a name like Rocky?!

Agree with everyone that he should stick to what he knows. Otherwise he will find himself in a bit of a pickle, wont cut the mustard and end up getting cheesed off.

Roll on Apprentice 09
