A businessman who describes himself as “one perfect guy” has been revealed as one of this year’s contestants on The Apprentice.

Enfield resident and sales manager Samuel Boateng is one of the candidates for the BBC One programme, which will air its first episode on October 6.

A graduate in BSc Information Technology and Business from Sheffield Hallam University, Mr Boateng will hope his business acumen will impress Lord Sugar, and his assistants Karen Brady and Claude Littner.

He said: “My ability in developing new and innovative ideas is one my strongest business skill. I have excellent public speaking abilities. My creativity, my passion, my charm, and my likeability all roll into one, creating one perfect guy.”

Mr Boateng also claims to be responsible for managing over 700 businesses across London.
