The Apprentice’s Neil Clough offered interview with Rightmove to discuss his ‘flawed’ business idea

Property website Rightmove has taken advantage of an almost-wasn’t-there opportunity, offering The Apprentice’s Neil Clough – this year’s pick of the bunch had it not been for his apparently flawed estate agent business plan – an interview to discuss his ideas and land himself a job.

Neil, described by Lord Alan Sugar as ‘the right man with the wrong plan’, has been asked in by the company in order for them to learn more about his business.

Commercial director Miles Shipside said: “He may have fallen at the interview hurdle on The Apprentice but Neil is welcome to call me.”
