OSE News
Issue 2: April 2012
I
t was with mounting interest that the
St Edward’s community watched the
episodes of the 2011
Apprentice
unravel.
Word quickly spread that one of the
contestants was a recent OSE, and com-
ments of “Which one was he? Was he the tall, thin,
slightly geeky one?” could be heard around the
School each Friday morning.
It was clear from the first few moments that Tom
Pellereau (C, 1992–1997) was a thoroughly nice chap
but it took a fewweeks to establish that he was also
a serious contender. Those of us who remembered
Tom were not surprised; while at school here he
showed a steely, determined nature under an
outwardly polite, gentle exterior.
As the numbers fell to five he was lucky perhaps to
be teamed up with the favourite, Helen, and they
proved a great team. Despite Tom’s lack of historical
detail, they thrashed their three opponents and set
themselves up as the two clear favourites. Tom
won the day largely, I think, because he had already
developed an idea and brought it to market. Also,
Lord Sugar recognized his talents in getting his
ideas noticed.
All of us here at Teddies congratulate him on his
win. We have been watching with interest to
see howhis venturewith Lord Sugar develops
and wish him success with The Stylfile
Collection 2012, launched on 15th March.
