Dan Harris

Episode One: Project Manager Dan is fired ...

Self-proclaimed entrepreneur Dan "put his balls on the line" to lead the all-male team Synergy in the sausage task, but alienated his colleagues with his aggressive attitude. Lord Sugar's aide Karren Brady remarked that his management style consisted of "standing around, shouting orders".

Dan led half of his team on an unsuccessful jaunt flogging bargain bangers door-to-door around the streets of Portobello Market, selling only £14 worth of produce himself.

In the boardroom, Dan was lambasted by Lord Sugar for his slouched posture and subsequently informed that his team had lost the task despite accruing a profit of £305.90. In response to criticisms from his team-mates, Dan stressed that they should all be grateful that he stepped forward to lead the team, as opposed to shirking such a role.

Dan chose Alex and Stuart to return to the boardroom with him to face Lord Sugar, but became the first candidate of the series to be fired. The ensuing cab journey saw him in a reflective mood, where he admitted that he was "not happy, but it's my responsibility".

Project Manager Dan was on the losing team Synergy. They took £593.33, spent £287.43 and made a £305.90 profit.
