10:50 Adam Corbally

Adam Corbally left school at home at the age of 16 with little qualifications, and like most young people didn't have a clue what he wanted to do with his life. He went on to cover over 20 different jobs from the age of 16-19, gaining valuable experience. However, he quickly realised that to achieve the money and lifestyle he wanted the answer was to work for himself.

Adam ventured down to his local market and saw that there was a gap in the market for a Greengrocer. He grabbed this opportunity and the next week he was trading fruit and veg. His retail Greengrocery business went from strength to strength quickly expanding to wholesale, plants, flowers and Christmas trees. Whilst reaching for the stars, but keeping his feet on the ground, Adam invested his money wisely and now owns and manages his property portfolio of eight houses.

Since appearing on "The Apprentice" 2012, shining as the best salesman the process has ever seen, Adam has been to China, sourced products to sell on sales training days at home shows run by him, and is launching his own motivational App.
