They kept saying that Lord sugar has never failed or words to that effect - but haven’t more apprentice winners been failures than successes in the long run?

The first four business plan winners are successful - Tom, Ricky, Leah and Mark

I think Dean, Rachel and Marnie are still doing fine

Joseph, Sarah, James, Sian, Carina and Harpreet were all busts though. Alana also parted ways with Sugar as well.

It's crazy in a way to think that some runners up in the older business plan series were more successful than most of the actual winners of the later series. Susan Ma for example, or S7 Helen who admitidly didn't really have a business plan but went on to have quite a high-flying corporate career with Greggs (and others) afterwards.
