The Apprentice

Joanne Sweeney-Burke TV3 The Apprentice 2011 Finalist
The 2011 series of "The Apprentice" on TV3 has kept he nation entertained each Monday night on TV3.  Coming third in this year's show was  a huge achievement for me, but also for my business Media Box.  The format of the show changed this year and rather than getting a job with Bill, candidate were offered a €200,000 investment in their business and/or business idea.

A big congratulations to Apprentice 2011 winner Eugene Heary of Auction House who is now Bill's business partner. A big congratulations also to my fellow finalists, Noel Rowland of Retrofit Technologies and Maurice O'Callaghan who is currently seeking out new opportunities. 

So with a winter of Monday night behind us, we thought we would share more about Joanne with our loyal followers.
