Her journey to the show began in early 2023 when watching season 17. Encouraged by family and friends to apply, she went through a rigorous interview process to gain her spot, beating thousands of other candidates to get herself a seat in the boardroom.

Old Decanian Flo Edwards (Hatherley 2012) appeared on the latest season of ‘The Apprentice’.
In the 12-week long season, Flo was on the winning team for seven out of ten tasks and was honoured to make the final five, earning a prestigious spot in the interview episode. Flo says: “It was an honour to be named in that cohort. They were award-winners in all their specialised fields. In terms of what the interviews were like, ultimately, I was fired for being too ambitious, which I’ll absolutely take. If you’re going to be fired for anything, at least it’s your ambition!” Having learned a lot from her experience on The Apprentice, after launching an Executive Search consultancy, Flo made the decision to step away from recruitment and follow her true passion in life: art. Art was a huge part of Flo’s life at Dean Close, and she still stays in contact with many of the teachers that helped foster her passion.
