Competition Closed: Ryobi and the Apprentice

*** Competition Closed ***

*** Congratulations to Eoin Moynihan who has won the Ryobi competition ***

Week Four of this year’s Irish Apprentice began very slowly. There was little excitement as both teams spent an age discussing ‘strategy’ and not doing very much. They were tasked with selling Ryobi power tools in two Woody’s DIY stores. But before that, they had to record a product demo with TV3’s Alan Hughes. Jamie Moran was efficient if a little dull, while Barry Caesar Hunt was annoying, messy, confused……and surprisingly entertaining.

The PM this week for Team Fusion, who were sent to Woodys in Bray, was Kieran Walsh. Team Elev8, based in Woodys Tallaght, had Dave Cashman in the lead role. It became clear that neither PM could cope with their teams in a task that was purely based around selling. The seemingly simple task of selling Ryobi power tools in a DIY store was turned into a debacle. Panos muddled his was through the mystery shopper, Tara cheated in the competition to win a jersey, Michelle forgot to pay the store manager for the balloons he organised and she started crying. There was no clear leadership to be seen anywhere. 

Elev8 had a decisive win, selling €2,607 worth of Ryobi products, while Fusion chalked up less than half that at only €1,114. PM Kieran called cheating Tara back into the boardroom, which was no surprise, but he also brought in Ciara. This shocked everyone on last night’s liveblog. She had the best sales, the best attitude and was well able to defend herself.

Bill Cullen agreed with us and sent her back to the safe house. This left it down to cheating Tara and inept Kieran. In the end, Bill wasn’t impressed by either of them, but sent Kieran packing.
