Apprentice winner's business set up with Lord Alan Sugar goes bust and owes almost £2 million

APPRENTICE winner Joseph Valente's business has gone under and he now owes nearly £2 million.

Valente ran a plumbing outfit called ImpraGas and one creditor claimed it commissioned work and believes Joseph knew his business was struggling.“I feel pretty angry and mad about the way the company has behaved, it has always been a bit of a struggle getting paid." The 30-year-old started the business after he won the competition and received £250,000 investment backing from Lord Sugar himself.

Valente took full control of the company in 2017 but just before the lockdown began in March, the firm went into creditors’ voluntary liquidation, with Valente going as far as to blame Brexit and last year’s warm winter.Valente has responded and exclusively told The Sun Online what happened to his business, which he says was sold six months ago.

The girl should have one anyways. I think Mr Sugar knew that, but couldn’t bring himself to let her win. His “it’s time I make new friends” was half hearted at best.

Feel for him because he was a good guy unlike many weird characters who came out of this show.
