I think Siralan would have been disappointed if Tim hadn't struck out for himself...I think he thinks he's a 'chip off the old block', in the Celebrity Apprentice I was quite touched with his fatherly concern!

I think it's fair enough he's leaving he's been there for 2 years I doubt sir Alan feels he's letting him down by leaving especially as he's setting up his own business helping other businesses.

Am I right in thinking the job they get offered is only for 12 months fixed term and if they stay longer then thats a bonus?

Thought Tim may have stayed longer, but he always seemed like a good bloke.
Alan Sugar can't really be angry or p**sed off with him. I'm sure they'll keep in touch anyhow. |

You really should think first before starting threads with such misplaced underlying tones. Last edited by andallthatjazz : 21-03-2007 at 12:38. |

Not sure what the problem is, hes been there two years and is clearly an ambitious guy. Not unusual news really for someone to move on after a couple of years...

Tim couldn't remain an 'apprentice' all his life - he had renewed his contract after the 1st year, but at some time he has to strike out.
Good luck to him. |

I don't see what the problem is. The same with Michelle. Michelle gets a lot of stick in the media because she quit, but who wouldn't if they were offered the jobs she was? She was getting £100,000 a year working for Sir Alan, but newspapers and reality shows were probably offering her double that.

I doubt michelle was offered double to do mags and tv. She's been in very few things and even if she was, she's supposed to be an intelligent woman.
Accepting money for gossip articles will have damaged her career in the long run. Surely longivity of accepting AMS job and how good it would look on her cv would have got her more in the long run. But then again that would have entailed hard work. I'm dissapointed in Michelle personally, I wish she would have stuck at it rather than dilly dallied with Syed. |

I think these days, you can count yourself lucky if you get two years service from your employees.
Tim had a 12 month fixed term contract, he honoured and stayed on, Sir Alan can't really argue with that I'm afraid. |

I say good luck to him. I'm sure he will keep in touch with Alan Sugar.

Indeed, and that is what an apprenticeship is - you work alongside someone to learn their trade and then go off and do it yourself. They used to be more common, not just a prize in a Tv show! |

http://www.integra-skincare.com/mlm....92.91761492945 ...it had already flopped once and Sir Alan wanted it relaunched - an impossible task. It obviously doesn't work, just look at wrinkles on Sir Alan's face! |

Sir Alan has always sung Tim's praises and stressed what a valuable asset he was to the company. I'm sure he is proud, not disappointed that Tim has decided to branch out after two years.
By all accounts, Sir Alan has told Tim that if his new venture doesn't work, he can always have his old job back. |

There was a clip on the radio this afternoon of Sir Alan talking about Tim, saying he had basically served his Apprenticeship and was moving on, which was pretty much what Sir Alan expected. He also said he wished him well and would be happy to work with him/help him all he could.

I seriously doubt any Apprentice would work for Amstrad for more than a year or two.
Lets face it, its just a stepping stone to bigger and better things. |
