On Thursday evening, Rachel, 28, the fifth female candidate in a row to win Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment after beating pie shop owner Phil Turner, 37.
In the final task, Rachel and Phil went head-to-head to prove to Lord Sugar why they deserved to receive his quarter of a million pound investment and to form a 50/50 partnership with the TV star and business mogul.
Lord Sugar chose the fitness entrepreneur to win the investment, saying: ‘It’s very, very hard for me… My gut feeling is telling me that, Rachel, you’re going to be my business partner.’
On Thursday evening, it was revealed the fitness entrepreneur, 28, from Leeds has become the fifth female candidate in a row to win Lord Sugar ‘s £250,000 investment after beating pie shop owner Phil Turner, 37
After learning of her win, Rachel said: ‘To take part in the process has been incredible and to come out a winner is just something beyond my wildest dreams.’
In the final boardroom, Baroness Karren and Tim, issued their thoughts on the finalists’ performance before Lord Sugar made his decision.
About Rachel, Baroness Brady said: ‘This business is her life and her passion for it really comes across. The issue really is just how expensive it is to open gyms, and she’ll burn through your investment pretty quickly.’
Tim added: ‘I think the thing with Rachel is that she’s going into a great industry sector and she’s a great advocate for her product and service…
‘It’s about the scalability of that. Can she systemise what she’s done very well at two gyms over at many, many more?.’
After a last impassioned pitch from each finalist for why they should become his partner, Lord Sugar made his decision saying: ‘Let me conclude here…
‘This is a very tough decision, I’ve got to say because I’ve got two very, very credible people in front of me. I’ve got Rachel who claims she’s making money and that she’s going to make even more when she gets the second gym up and running but gyms are, with all due respect, two-a-penny…
‘Specialist pies are not and it’s a market that I’m very interested in but how can I be interested in it if there’s no light at the end of the tunnel…
‘There’s a loss-making business at the moment which you tell me is going to turn around and be okay and that’s my dilemma.’
‘It’s very, very hard for me. I’m having trouble here. But my gut feeling is telling me that, Rachel, you’re going to be my business partner.’
Becoming the show’s champion marks the end of a four-year grind for Rachel, who says after setting up her business aged 23, she has coped with working long hours
