"You're Hired!" Former Apprentice Finalist Helene Speight Tells Different PR

Former Apprentice finalist Helene Speight has said "you're hired" to Yorkshire PR and media specialists, Different PR.

The company - with offices in Harrogate and Wakefield - will work with the former GE high-flyer to raise her profile regionally and nationally in promoting her work.

Since making it into the last four finalists of BBC's 2008 'The Apprentice', Helene continued her career with GE until more recently when she left to embark on an Executive MBA at the world class Henley Business School, Oxfordshire.

Helene has now come back to her Yorkshire roots to work on new business opportunities and also develop in her new role as an Ambassador for the Prince's Trust.

Different PR Director David Simister said: "Millions of people know her from the TV show, but there is far more to Helene than The Apprentice. For example, with GE she has worked in 23 countries and managed a team in excess of 700 employees.

"Our main priory is to work with Helene to promote conference speaking, lectures and business coaching around the country, where she can share her extensive knowledge, experience and business eminence."

Helene said: "Moving back to Yorkshire I made a conscious decision to look for a local PR company to represent me. Different PR fitted the bill perfectly and I'm looking forward to working with the team over the coming months."
