Rajan Gill was the 10th candidate to be fired in The Apprentice.

Gill, who proudly describes himself as the only tradesman candidate in this year’s show,  was part of the losing team tasked with creating a virtual reality demo in order to secure  investments.

Project manager Lawrence Rosenberg brought Gill and Levi Hodgetts-Hague back into the boardroom after his team secured £55,000 in investment, compared to the winning team’s £205,000.

Speaking after the show, Gill, whose company – AV Installations – specialises in TV mountings, said: “Opportunities like The Apprentice provide every candidate with the same platform. What really matters is how each of us chooses to use it — how we show up, how we contribute, and how we make the most of the moment.”

There are now 10 candidates vying for Lord Sugar’s £250k investment and mentorship.
