About Nick Hewer
Nick’s career began in public relations, where he built an impressive client list which included many top British and international names. In the 1980s, his firm was selected to represent the consumer electronics giant Amstrad, and Nick became responsible for handling all Alan Sugar’s business and charitable activities. After selling his business, he retired early to his house in south-west France but soon found himself called back by Lord Sugar and persuaded to take an onscreen role alongside him in the TV show The Apprentice. “I fought hard against it,” says Nick, “but he cajoled me – in a muscular sort of way.” Nick and his original opposite number Margaret Mountford went on to become the surprise stars of one of the longest-running and most popular shows on British television.
