For Alex the path to become Sir Alan Sugar’s Apprentice has not been easy. Alex’s comfortable life was shattered, when the Worthespoon family business - a children’s care home - went bust and they lost everything. The family had to leave their home and move into a rented farmhouse. Alex believes that the experiences made them a stronger and closer unit, and he give them full credit for his Apprentice success.
Alex, 24, says: “My parents are the keystone in my life and always have been.”
His entrepreneurial spirit was in evidence at an early age. Alex and his brother started bagging up manure and selling it as fertilizer. The business really took off, and the fertilizer became known as Wotherspoon’s Black Gold.
Alex Wortherspoon is not stupid either; he graduated from Aston University with a degree in managerial administrative studies, after spending a year in America, selling mortgages. After graduating he got a job with Sainsbury’ Energy, and rose to the position of regional sales manager.
When asked about his chances of winning The Apprentice, he said, “I’m physically weaker, but I want to stay to the end.”
The other Apprentice Candidates; Clare young, Lucinda Ledgerwood,Helene Speight, and Lee McQueen.
