Who is Harry Clough? The Apprentice 2026 candidate and sales manager
"I may sound posh, but I’ve got no dosh - and that’s why I’m here to make it."
The time has come to finally meet the 20 candidates all vying for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner as The Apprentice returns tonight.
One of those candidates is Harry Clough, who believes he is the perfect mix of "serious ambition and self-aware humour".
"I take my work seriously but I never take myself too seriously," he said. "I’ve learned that a bit of personality goes a long way in business. I’m creative, resilient, and not afraid to fail, in fact, I’ve probably failed more than most candidates."
As fans wait to see how Harry will fare in the race to become Lord Sugar's next business partner, read on for everything you need to know about The Apprentice candidate.
Who is Harry Clough?
Occupation: Financial sales manager
Location: Battersea, London
Harry Clough is a financial sales manager who believes he deserves Lord Sugar's investment because he is "bold, creative, and not afraid to take risks".
Harry explained: "I've failed more times than I can count, but every knock has made me tougher, smarter, and more determined to win. I don’t just think outside the box, I flip it over and turn it into a business idea.
"I take my work seriously, but never myself, because personality sells as much as product. My hunger to make it on my own is exactly what drives me. I’m proof that you can be funny, fearless, and ambitious all at once and that’s exactly the kind of partner Lord Sugar needs."
What is Harry Clough's business plan?
Harry's business plan is Makemyday, a free food and drinks subscription box, in which a customer receives one box every month, for free.
Explaining further, Harry said: "After signing up and answering a few questions, the customer will receive a free box each month with products chosen for them. It’s the opportunity for people to try new things and find their favourite food and drink products. It’s the ultimate marketing tool for a food or drink brand.
"They pay to be included and can target their key audience, while our members enjoy trying lots of different products completely for free - all they have to do is fill out a questionnaire afterwards. For a brand, it's the most targeted marketing tool they can find, and for our members it's the best way to try new things."
