Kevin D’Arcy The Apprentice

What is your USP?
I have not only a strong 10-year career in financial services, but a thriving business I set up on the side that has turned over just under half a million in two years. That shows that I have commercial awareness and the drive and determination to succeed that sets me apart from the rest.
What is your biggest weakness?
In short, I can be a little outspoken, so probably not knowing when to shut up.
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
I started my business two years ago, on the side of a senior position in the financial services. It’s gone from strength to strength in Ireland and is now stocked in some of the country’s biggest stores. With Lord Sugar as my business partner, I know we can ride that wave into the UK and beyond…
