The Apprentice series 9: Meet the candidates - Natalie Panayi

Natalie Panayi

Age: 30

Occupation: Recruitment Manager

Lives: Rickmansworth, UK

Natalie’s first job was as a pub waitress and says her dad is her business inspiration, as he built his success from nothing through his strong work ethic. Her passions include fashion and money and she is also a trained jazz singer and qualified make-up artist. She says her friends would describe her as headstrong, determined and caring, though one of her most annoying habits can be interrupting people.

She says: “When it comes to business, I am the complete package and when it comes to sales, I’m the best.”
