'Soho Flea Market'
Dean ST, W1

Timeout London Magazine: "Soho’s Dean Street will be closed down to traffic and transformed into the very first Soho Flea Market, all in support of the Terrence Higgins Trust. It boasts an awe inspiring list of creative stallholders all rubbing shoulders with music and comedy performances throughout the day. Jim Rokos is a brilliant homeware designer with a stack of awards under his belt to prove it (as well as a former life as a modelmaker for the Muppets). His products, such as his striking tipped wine decanter and bowls, are design icons in waiting. Perfect manly gifts for Father's Day."

In a task designed to test their sales skills, Sir Alan sends them to the North of England, where they must select two new innovative products to sell to trade. Determined that everyone should sell, Sir Alan gives each candidate their own individual order books with strict instructions to notch up as many orders as possible.

As ever, Nick and Margaret are on hand to observe and report back to Sir Alan in the boardroom, where he will cross-examine the teams before deciding who gets fired..."
