Azhar Siddique, 33, is the founder and managing director of a catering and refrigeration company who lives in Manchester. Why should he be Lord Sugar's next Apprentice?
Well, he says: “It’s not who shouts the loudest; it’s who has the ability to control the conversation”.
His Apprentice candidate profile reads:
Thrill seeker Azhar enjoys shark diving and has two pet sharks. He feels his biggest strengths are his professionalism and integrity but also admits that he gets very restless very quickly. In his spare time Azhar enjoys strength training and Muay Thai and loves scuba diving due to his passion for marine life. Azhar is inspired by the IKEA brand and admires its founder, Invgar Kamprad, for always sticking to his high self-imposed standards.
