Looks like Amstrad has been sold to Sky which means any new Apprentice will be off to Sky. Should be interesting to see how they play that on a BBC show!

Maybe they will change the name to Skystrad! He will just be the chairman of the Sky owned company, no long part of his "XX million pound empire...". Wonder how that will affect Pace....

He's still got Amsair and Amsprop, the latter being the company that bought the site that the finalists had to design the building for.

He'll still be managing the "Amstrad" stuff so it's not like he's sold and quit

he hasn't sold and quit but he definitely has cashed in.

he no longer knows how to do the technology sector and is getting out of that industry. however, that's what the business he's best known for and lots of people in previous series talked about working for amstrad with technology before he started really focussing on his Amsprop business.

I mean, so what now, if you win the apprentice sir alan pays for you to be a chartered surveyor?? woohoo. almost as lame as donald trump asking you to be caretaker for his apartments!

I expect sometime soon Sir Alan will be called to the Sky boardroom to hear the immortal line, I'm sorry Sir Alan, but your fired.

I doubt it, Murdoch and sugar are close friends.

According to www.mediaguardian.co.uk there will be no changes to series four of the apprentice as the last two winners have not worked for Amstrad but for his property firm and his computer firm
