Who won The Apprentice 2022?

After a tense final boardroom, Lord Sugar named Harpreet Kaur as the winner of The Apprentice 2022.

Lord Sugar picked Harpreet to be his business partner. Her dessert business Oh So Yum! will receive a £250,000 investment and 50/50 partnership with the multi-millionaire business mogul.

In the final, Kathryn pitched her business plan for an online pyjama business while Harpreet showcased her dessert business.

The pair enlisted the help of former candidates to create a brand, advertisements and pitch.

Kathryn was joined by Stephanie Afflek, Amy Anzel, Nick Showering, Akeem Bundu-Kamara and Harry Mahmood.

Meanwhile joining Harpreet were Brittany Carter, Akshay Thakrar and Navid Sole

The two finalists created a new brand for their company, produced a digital billboard and directed and edited a television advert.

Harpreet and Kathryn then had to present their business plans to 200 industry experts plus Lord Sugar himself at London’s Pennington Street Warehouse.

After Lord Sugar heard feedback from the experts, he called the final two to the boardroom for the last time.

In the boardroom, Lord Sugar made his choice: “It’s very hard. This is difficult for me… so ladies I think I’ve decided now, Harpreet you’re going to be my business partner.”

Harpreet reacted: “I cannot believe that Lord Sugar has chosen me to be his business partner. I have dreamt of this moment and it just completely proves if you work hard and believe in yourself, dreams do come true.”

A new series of The Apprentice has already been confirmed with applications underway.
