Apprentice Candidates
Brendan Moore is currently taking some time out from studying Finance and Venture Management in NUI Maynooth.
Brendan lived in Kildare until the age of 12 and proudly still considers himself a Kildare man, as a huge GAA fan he loyally follows his beloved Lilywhites. The best moment in his life so far is meeting Nelson Mandela.
The Candidate Highs and Lows
What he brings to the table:
He's likely to impress Bill with his entrepreneurism having successfully designed a golf V towel prototype which he is currently in the process of licensing through Callaway
Some would say that Brendan has avoided the boardroom due to his involvement in the male clique of the house. He has shown signs of impatience and has been accused of not taking other people's opinions on board.
Episode 3
LOW: Proof reader who did not notice the spelling mistake on his advertisement.
Episode 4
LOW: Very defensive in the boardroom when accused of not stepping up to be project manager.
Episode 5
LOW: After being refused the PM role instead of Aoiffe, decided to remain negative for the whole of the task.
Episode 6
LOW: Fired on the sixth task. Bill fired him for many reasons but mainly because he likes to lie his way out of things. Took the safe option of choosing a product that was already out there and never priced an idea that was actually quite good.
