Michelle Dewburry has revealed that she has no regrets about leaving Sir Alan Sugar’s employment. She has admitted to being unhappy at Sir Alan’s choice to put her in charge of Xenon Green computer disposal firm, which she believes could never turn a profit.

“I have absolutely no regrets about leaving Sir Alan Sugar’s employment,” Michelle told the Sunday Mirror. “When I won the show I signed up for the opportunity to build a business under his guidance. I was given a job trying to develop a recycling company. But the brief I was given meant that it would never make a profit.

“The idea was to sell recycling services to customers. Unfortunately, or fortunately for the customers, they already get that for free. So they were never going to pay us in a trillion years.

“At the time I was really disappointed in the business Alan selected for me. Perhaps people got carried away with the whole ‘green’ thing. In the end I was left with just a job - not this amazing career I expected. It wasn’t what it said on the tin.”
