£250,000 is on the line and nobody wants to be on the other end of a firing from Lord Sugar... it can only mean the highly anticipated return of the BBC's The Apprentice.
Back for its 19th run, The Apprentice's 18-strong cast has just been revealed and includes one of Cheltenham's very own — entrepreneur and competitive bodybuilder, Mia Collins.
Mia is now based in London, but originates from the cyber capital where she launched her own meal prepping side hustle, MiMeals.
Hoping to take her business to the next level, Mia is vying for Lord Sugar's investment to turn MiMeals into a fully catered meal prep service that can be delivered straight to the doors of her customers.
She said: 'My life revolves around the gym and food prep, and I love being able to help others improve their diets, too. Seeing my clients achieve their fitness goals whilst enjoying delicious, nutritious meals makes me so proud.
'I’ll be up against some fierce competition, but I’ve built something I am truly passionate about and will continue to dedicate myself to.
'I believe my business stands out in its industry, it’s about more than just meal prep — it’s about creating a healthier community, saving clients time and being a brand built on passion.'
Lord Sugar, joined by advisors Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell MBE, is offering the winner of The Apprentice a £250,000 investment alongside membership from the lord himself.
Catch the new series of The Apprentice on BBC One every Thursday at 9pm from 30 January 2025.
