The Apprentice
London Challenge
Team building and team training is Bluehat UK's main focus and we are proud to have been voted Team Building Company by the Corporate Event Association (CEA) and Team Building Firm by the Event Industry Association (Eventia) for creatively fun, consistently high quality and good value corporate team building events.

The Challenge:

On Friday 30th July, Frank Sweet has given staff from Morgan Stanley a shopping list of items and a limited budget. The items on the shopping list are desperately needed for his favourite charity The Whitechapel Mission. To be victorious you must be equipped with all items on the list with as much surplus funds as possible. The budget is healthy although it will not cover the total cost of the list. This means your negotiation skills will be imperative for success. Are you prepared to go the extra mile? Your ingenuity will be rewarded by saving time, money or both!

1. Men's underwear (30" - 34" waist)
