Leeds entrepreneur Rachel Woolford, the champion of this year’s series of The Apprentice, has revealed that leaving behind her business for eight weeks was “the toughest thing” she has ever done.

The 28-year-old, who lives in Shadwell, said that she has never set an out-of-office email before and found it hard to step away from work. Speaking candidly to the Leeds Business Podcast, Rachel also discussed the impact lockdown had on her, describing the second round of restrictions and closing the studio again as the “lowest period of my life”. Rachel opened her boutique gym North Studio, in Roundhay, just over four years ago.

I had to say that I was away from my emails with no access to them, it sounded so dodgy.” Rachel explained that the BBC advised her to tell friends and clients she was on jury duty, as it was unknown how long she would be away from the business for. “One of my clients thought I’d been in prison,” she laughed. “That was quite funny.” Rachel opened North Studio in March 2020, just as the pandemic was arriving in the country.
