Megan Ruiter Biography – Megan Ruiter Wiki
Megan Ruiter is a British fashion designer and a contestant on the BBC’s The Apprentice 2026. She is the owner of Ruiter, a bespoke women’s wear clothing brand. She has worked with a host of celebrities such as Love Island stars Gabby Allen and Georgia Steel, as well as The Only Way is Essex’s Jess Wright.
Megan always knew she wanted to work in fashion after she was taught how to sew by her stepdad when she was 7. She went on to study Fashion/Apparel Design at Liverpool John Moores University. After graduating, Megan set up her own fashion brand, Ruiter, creating dresses from her bedroom. She has since upgraded from her bedroom with the help of her mother, Gail Formston, and stepfather, Malcolm.
Speaking about her business plan, Megan told the BBC: “My current business is a bespoke womenswear clothing brand, Ruiter, which allows all customers to modify our designs online so that they suit their own personal style preferences.
“Whether that be a shorter or longer version, with or without sleeves, different neckline options or different colours and fabrics. We are not a fast fashion brand where one size fits all, our bespoke feature allows customers to make all our designs their own, appealing to a wider demographic. Our aim is to make our customers feel confident in every piece of Ruiter clothing and to create pieces that last a lifetime. With Lord Sugar’s investment, I can scale this brand and build on its successes.”

Megan Ruiter The Apprentice
27-year-old Megan Ruiter is a contestant on the 20th series of The Apprentice on BBC One. The 2026 series candidates will be looking to impress Lord Sugar and secure his £250,000 investment in their business plan as well as his priceless mentorship. Across 12 episodes, Lord Sugar will whittle down the 20 candidates with help from advisors Baroness Karren Brady CBE and Tim Campbell MBE.
Megan believes she deserves Lord Sugar’s investment because she’s “hardworking” and has been from a young age. She explained: “During university, most students were out partying whilst I was at home teaching myself to sew and starting my own clothing business.
“Whenever I reach a goal in life, I am already working on how to achieve the next goal set. I always give everything my absolute all because when my work life is thriving that is when I feel most content within my personal life too. Plus, I think myself and Lord Sugar would make a great team together.”
Megan owns three successful businesses and says each one has taught her a new life lesson. She added: “I have such a strong desire to succeed in life as a well-established businesswoman and I am currently on a mission to achieve that dream goal for myself. I have no ‘off’ button, it’s always go, go, go.”
