Let me google that for you

He owns just under 25% of Outsourcery, which was founded in 2010.

Not sure where the rest of the money is, but there's bugger all information about the company accounts that I can see.

Yep, gullible as I am I honesly thought that it was the other way around. Mind you I thought that candidates in the Apprentice were booted out or not by how well they were doing rather than the ratings they pull in.

Took the shine off it for me :-(

Peter and Theo were buddies so I'd rather Duncan left than Theo. And I quite like Hilary, world's ugliest woman.

OK, I will correct what I said, "Surely a proposed dragon should be someone who has successfully invested in companies as a venture capitalist?"

None of the businesses listed have done anything....
