Tom Pellereau has been crowned the winner of Britain’s Apprentice.
The 31-year-old inventor was chosen by Alan Sugar to become his new business partner over Helen Milligan in last night’s 'The Apprentice' final on BBC ONE.
Sugar will now provide a £250,000 (around €300,000) investment into Pellereau's business, which aims to reduce the financial and personal costs of employee back pain through specialist chairs.
In the final boardroom, Sugar brushed off concerns from his advisors regarding Pellereau's "lack of focus" and "flawed" plan to offer posture checks to office workers, instead noting the potential in his invention of a chair to combat back pain.
"I would give up and emigrate if someone said to me now, 'What you've got to do is allow all your employees to have a desk chair check'," Sugar stated.
"Maybe there is some legs in offering the chair. [There is] some real USP, some real special reason as to why people buy it.
"Wasting time about going into companies and testing employees out, that ain't gonna work. The chair might work."
