Michelle wins 'The Apprentice'
Published Thursday, May 11 2006, 01:52 BST | By Miriam Zendle
Michelle Dewberry last night beat Ruth Badger to win the final of The Apprentice.
The 26-year-old will now work for Sir Alan Sugar in a £100,000-a-year job. She explained: "It wasn't until right at the very end when he said I'd won that I believed it. It shows you don't need to be loud and cocky and 'bolshie' - just work as hard as you can, and hopefully you will get on in life."
Sir Alan himself told Adrian Chiles on the BBC's You're Fired: "Last year was easier. There was no contest. Both [were] were employable people [with] tremendous skills. [Michelle] is young and willing to learn. I think I've got the right girl. I found her very focused, very determined, very organised."
Badger, who hails from Wolverhampton, said: "I'm genuinely, genuinely happy for Michelle but I'm absolutely gutted that I'm not working for Sir Alan. I've never in my career or my life fought for something so much. There's nobody in this country that inspires me more than Sir Alan. Even though I've come second, I absolutely worship the man."
Dewberry will oversee the disoposal of unwanted computer equipment from a range of businesses, whilst Badger is in employment talks with Sir Alan.
