The Apprentice 2013: Neil Clough

Neil Clough is a candidate on the ninth series of The Apprentice.

Age: 32; Occupation: Regional Manager – Soccer Centres; Lives: Altrincham, UK

Neil says he would be described as focused, determined and driven, by those that know him well, though his weaknesses include being overly competitive and very opinionated.

He is a Manchester United supporter and plays football regularly in an amateur league, having played semi-professionally in the past.

One of his first jobs was in telesales, which he cites as the role that kicked off his career.

He says: “I’m here to win. If that means being tough and making tough decisions, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
