Name: Rocky Andrews
Age: 21
Career: Sandwich chain owner
Qualifications: N/A
Lives: North Yorkshire
Rocky is this year's youngest candidate and already earns more than the salary on offer from Sir Alan. He left school at 16 to pursue a career in football with Middlesbrough United but was soon diagnosed with arthritis – making it impossible to continue.

Rocky since decided to start up a sandwich business at the age of 17 – which now includes 15 lucrative shops across the North East of England.

He says: "For me, business is about hard work, attention to detail, being willing to make mistakes and learning from these mistakes."
