Apprentice Candidates
BREFFNY MORGAN is a Professional Trainer.
Breffny has already become known as boardroom Bref, due to the number of times he has now appeared on front of Bill Cullen at the end of the tasks. A keen sportsman Breffny has won many medals for rowing . He attended Harvard and reminds us constantly of this fact. His favourite stimulant is coffee, used rarely and heavily in times of need. The more often you take caffeine, the weaker a kick you get, so he saves it for special energetic occasions!
