A COLNE contestant on BBC business show The Apprentice has survived the first round of the competition.
Ambitious Azhar Siddique, 33, who runs a catering and refrigeration company in Manchester, found himself on the winning team and was immune from being fired by peer Lord Alan Sugar.
The former Park High student was one of 16 candidates to line up and compete for the £250,000 investment prize.
During the first show, the apprentices were split into two groups, girls and boys, and given the task of buying blank material and creating designs to print on to them, which they then had to sell to the public.
The boys’ team made the biggest profit and was safe from elimination.
Bilyana Apostolova was the first hopeful to be fired.
